get_cash_flow_data

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It fails to describe any traits: it doesn't specify if this is a read-only operation, what permissions might be needed, potential rate limits, error conditions, or the format/scope of returned data. For a tool with 5 parameters and no output schema, this lack of transparency is critical.

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?

The description is extremely concise with a single phrase, 'Quarterly cash flow data.', which is front-loaded and wastes no words. While it under-specifies the tool's functionality, it earns full marks for brevity and lack of redundancy.

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?

Given the complexity (5 parameters, 0% schema coverage, no annotations, no output schema, and many sibling tools), the description is severely incomplete. It doesn't clarify the tool's purpose, usage, behavior, or parameters, making it insufficient for an agent to understand or correctly invoke this tool in context.

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 description coverage is 0%, meaning none of the 5 parameters have descriptions in the schema. The tool description adds no information about parameters like 'code', 'year', 'quarter', 'limit', or 'format', leaving their semantics, valid values, and interactions completely undocumented, which is inadequate for agent invocation.

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 'Quarterly cash flow data' is a tautology that essentially restates the tool name 'get_cash_flow_data' without adding meaningful specificity. It doesn't clarify what 'cash flow data' entails (e.g., financial metrics, statements, or specific fields) or distinguish this tool from siblings like 'get_balance_data' or 'get_profit_data' that also retrieve financial data.

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?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. With many sibling tools for financial data retrieval (e.g., 'get_balance_data', 'get_profit_data'), the description offers no context, prerequisites, or exclusions to help an agent decide between them, leaving usage ambiguous.

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