get_upcoming_deadlines

Read-onlyIdempotent

Canton operational deadlines coming up: scheduled upgrades, minimum-version raises, topology freezes and Logical Synchronizer Upgrades, per network. Use for "what do I have to do in the next N days" on DevNet, TestNet or MainNet. Events whose network could not be attributed are excluded rather than guessed, because a wrong deadline is worse than a missing one. A subscribable calendar of the same data is at https://ccpedia.xyz/calendar. For a verdict on your specific version use get_upgrade_status; for the full historical schedule use get_sv_schedule. Canton ecosystem only.

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint, so safety is clear. Description adds valuable behavioral detail: events with unidentifiable networks are excluded (not guessed) to avoid wrong deadlines. No contradiction with annotations.

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?

Very concise: 4 sentences, each earning its place. First sentence states main purpose, second usage scenario, third behavioral note, fourth alternatives and scope. No redundant information.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Description covers what the tool returns (types of deadlines), filtering options, network exclusion policy, and alternative tools. No output schema exists, but the description provides adequate context for an agent, though it could mention any pagination or format details.

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% with good parameter descriptions (days with min/max/default, environment with options, validator_only boolean). Description mentions 'per network' but does not add significant semantic detail beyond the schema. Baseline 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?

Description clearly states it retrieves Canton operational deadlines (scheduled upgrades, version raises, etc.) and distinguishes from siblings like get_upgrade_status and get_sv_schedule. The verb 'get' and resource 'upcoming deadlines' are specific and unambiguous.

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 states use case ('what do I have to do in the next N days'), environment filtering, and when to use alternatives (get_upgrade_status for version-specific verdict, get_sv_schedule for full history). Provides clear when-to-use and when-not-to-use guidance.

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

A3.7/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Many tools have overlapping search/retrieval functionality (search, semantic_search, full_context, search_community, search_github_issues, etc.), and the CIP-specific variants (get_cip, get_cip_history, get_cip_votes, get_cip_mentions, get_cip_citations) are numerous and subtly differentiated. Despite cross-references in the descriptions, the boundaries are fine-grained and an agent is likely to misselect among the 8+ search tools or the 8+ CIP tools.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun snake_case pattern (get_x, list_x, search_x, find_x). Mixed styles or camelCase are absent, and the verb choice (get, list, search, find, detect, compare) is semantically appropriate to each action, making the naming highly predictable.

Tool Count1/5

With 88 tools, the surface is extremely overgrown for a single server, far exceeding the 25+ 'too many' threshold and approaching the 50+ 'extreme mismatch' category. Even for a comprehensive ecosystem knowledge base, this creates a massive selection burden and makes the tool set unwieldy for agents.

Completeness5/5

The server covers the full Canton ecosystem: docs, forum, mailing lists, GitHub, CIPs, governance, validators, versions, deprecations, security, and media. There are no glaring gaps in the knowledge domain; every major resource type has retrieval and analysis tools, making the coverage exhaustive with no obvious dead ends.
