Read-only

Get bundled insider research in one call: company profile, recent transactions with 10b5-1 flags, cluster signals, monthly sentiment, net direction. Replaces four separate calls.

Instructions

Bundled insider-research context for one ticker in a single call — company profile, recent insider transactions (10b5-1 flagged), cluster buy/sell signals, monthly sentiment score, and a computed net buy/sell direction summary. Use this FIRST for any company insider-research question; it replaces 4 separate calls (get_company_overview, get_transactions, get_signals, get_sentiment) and degrades gracefully — if signals/sentiment require a plan you don't have, they come back null with an explanatory _unavailable note instead of failing the whole call. Company/transaction data works on Free; signals/sentiment sections require Business. Fetches all sections concurrently. Research and decision-support only, not investment advice.

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Discloses graceful degradation with null and _unavailable notes, concurrency (fetches all sections concurrently), and plan-based availability (Free vs Business), which go beyond the readOnlyHint and openWorldHint annotations.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is moderately sized but front-loaded with the main purpose, and each sentence adds value; however, it includes a disclaimer that could be separate, preventing a perfect score.

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?

For a complex tool with no output schema, the description thoroughly explains the bundled components, plan behavior, concurrency, and degradation, providing sufficient context for an agent.

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?

Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. Description does not add significant new information about parameter meaning beyond the schema, though it contextualizes recent_limit within the bundled result.

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 the tool bundles company profile, insider transactions, signals, sentiment, and direction summary into one call, and explicitly distinguishes it from four sibling tools it replaces.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly advises to use this tool FIRST for any insider-research question, replaces separate calls, and explains graceful degradation and plan requirements for when to use alternatives.

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