Get Political Sector Rotation

get_political_sector_rotation
Read-only

Track political sector rotation by aggregating congressional and executive trades. Get trade count, dollar volume, and top tickers per sector to see where politicians are concentrating trades.

Instructions

Which market SECTORS politicians have been trading in over a trailing window. Aggregates congressional + executive trades by sector and returns, per sector: trade count, total dollar volume, number of distinct politicians, and the top tickers. Use it to see where political trading activity is concentrating (e.g. "politicians piled into Energy this month"). Sort by count or dollar volume.

Behavior4/5

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

The description adds behavioral context beyond the readOnlyHint annotation, such as aggregation details, trailing window, and output fields. It is consistent with the annotation and discloses no destructive behavior.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is concise, using three sentences to convey purpose, output, and usage. It is front-loaded with the core function and avoids redundancy.

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

Completeness5/5

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

With an output schema present, the description adequately covers the tool's behavior, parameters, and usage context. No critical information is missing.

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

Parameters3/5

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

The input schema provides 100% description coverage for all 4 parameters, including defaults and constraints. The tool description adds minimal additional meaning beyond the schema, so a baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states that it returns which market sectors politicians have been trading in over a trailing window, aggregating congressional and executive trades by sector with specific metrics. It distinguishes itself from sibling politician tools by its sector-level aggregation focus.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The description provides a usage example ('politicians piled into Energy this month') and mentions sorting options. It implies when to use this tool (to see sector concentration) but does not explicitly state when not to use it or name alternatives, which is a minor gap.

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