financial_health_check

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry full burden for behavioral transparency. It mentions 'evaluates' but does not disclose whether this is a read-only calculation, any prerequisites, or consequence of inputs. Minimal safety context.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two sentences, clear and front-loaded with the output. Efficient but lacks structure to group parameters or add usage hints.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Output schema is present, so return details are covered elsewhere. Description covers main purpose and evaluation areas. Missing parameter-level detail makes it feel incomplete for a 10-input tool.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 0%, but description lists categories (savings ratio, debt levels, etc.) which provides some context. However, it does not explain each of the 10 parameters individually (e.g., what 'Monthly Emis' means, format). Insufficient for a tool with 10 required params.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool computes a 'financial health score (0-100) with rating and recommendations' and lists the evaluation factors. However, it does not differentiate from siblings like analyze_financial_ratios or assess_risk_profile.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies use for overall financial health assessment but gives no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like analyze_financial_ratios. No when-not or alternative tools mentioned.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
