analyze_options_chain

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

The description mentions the paid requirement, which is good, but fails to disclose whether the tool is read-only, destructive, or what happens during execution. With no annotations, the burden is on the description, and it falls short.

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 a single sentence, but it is too terse to convey necessary information. It sacrifices completeness for brevity.

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 tool has 5 parameters, no annotations, and schema coverage is 0%, the description is woefully incomplete. It does not explain input semantics, output, or usage 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?

The description adds no meaning to any of the 5 parameters, and schema coverage is 0%. Parameters like ticker, expiration, and liquidity filters are left entirely unexplained.

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 'options-chain context and liquidity filters' is almost a tautology with the tool name 'analyze_options_chain', lacking a clear verb or specific action. It does not distinguish from siblings like get_option_quote.

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 such as get_option_quote or analyze_trades. The description offers no context for selection.

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