openfinance_provider_status

Read-onlyIdempotent

Checks the LIVE operational status of the Open Finance provider (its public status page) — this is the PROVIDER's health, separate from your own connection's openfinance_get_item_status. Use it whenever data looks incomplete or stale even though a connection shows UPDATED (accounts/transactions/balances missing, a bank not returning everything): it reveals an upstream outage or a known incident on a specific bank/connector, so you can tell a provider-side problem apart from a connection that just needs reconnecting. Returns the global indicator (none/minor/major/critical), degraded components, open incidents, and — when you have banks connected — flags the incidents that affect YOUR connected banks in your_banks_affected.

TDQS

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false. The description adds valuable context: it checks a public status page, returns global indicator, degraded components, open incidents, and flags incidents affecting connected banks in 'your_banks_affected'. 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?

The description is concise yet comprehensive. It front-loads the core purpose, then provides usage guidance and return information in efficient sentences without 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?

Given no parameters and no output schema, the description fully explains what the tool does, under what conditions to use it, and what information it returns. It is complete for an agent to select and invoke correctly.

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

Parameters4/5

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

The tool has zero parameters, so schema coverage is 100% automatically. The description does not need to explain parameters, and it provides no parameter info, which is acceptable. Baseline 4 for no params.

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 checks the 'LIVE operational status of the Open Finance provider (its public status page)' and distinguishes it from the sibling 'openfinance_get_item_status' by specifying that this is the provider's health, not the own connection's status.

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 when to use: 'whenever data looks incomplete or stale even though a connection shows UPDATED', and clarifies that it reveals upstream outages or incidents, differentiating from a connection that needs reconnection.

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

A4.1/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have clearly distinct purposes within the openfinance_* namespace, but some close pairs exist: get_account_balance vs get_accounts_detail, list_transactions vs list_transactions_by_item, and get_item_status vs provider_status vs force_sync all require careful reading. The detailed descriptions resolve most ambiguity, but selection is not always instant.

Naming Consistency4/5

The openfinance_* tools follow a consistent snake_case verb_noun pattern (list_accounts, get_account_balance, update_transaction_category, force_sync). However, the generic platform tools like authenticate, connect, marketplace, and toolkit_info break the pattern, and provider_status is a noun phrase rather than verb_noun.

Tool Count3/5

At exactly 25 tools, this sits at the heavy boundary. The Open Finance domain justifies many of them, but the set feels bloated because marketplace alone bundles a large number of sub-operations, and several platform utilities could arguably be consolidated.

Completeness4/5

The Open Finance surface is quite complete: connections, accounts, balances, transactions, credit card bills, investments, loans, categories, sync, status, and provider health are all covered. Minor gaps exist around direct connection creation (delegated to URLs) and single-item transaction detail, but agents can work around them.
