Layer 1 examples for public/demo-data retrieval, bounded synthesis, and structured handoffs for financial analysis using Agno agents
Server has 6 tools with basic naming and descriptions, but significant gaps in schema completeness and parameter documentation. Tool names follow verb_noun convention (get_*, maximum_pain_*), which is good. However, most tools lack explicit input schema validation in the visible code. Descriptions are present but generic (34-72 chars, below the 50-200 char LLM-optimized baseline). Parameter descriptions exist in schema but are minimal. No output schemas documented. Error handling is absent, no recovery guidance, no categorization of error types. Tools are read-only (low risk), but lack idempotency hints and confirmation patterns.
Retrieve analyst recommendations and positioning for a stock
Retrieve company fundamentals and business profile information
Retrieve recent company-specific news and developments using Tavily search
Retrieve current stock price and market data for a given symbol
Compute the maximum pain strike for a stock and a listed expiration date (YYYY-MM-DD).
Extract and process shortlisted URLs from Tavily news results with quality filtering
Tool 'selective_extract_shortlisted_urls_tavily' violates single-responsibility principle, combines URL extraction AND quality filtering. Should split into extract_urls + filter_urls.
No output schemas documented for any tool. LLMs cannot plan downstream calls or extract required fields (e.g., does get_company_news_tavily return URLs for selective_extract_shortlisted_urls_tavily?).
Descriptions are 40-55 characters, below the 50-200 char LLM-optimized baseline. 'Retrieve current stock price and market data' lacks WHEN to use it and what fields are returned.

No error handling or recovery guidance. If yfinance or Tavily API fails, tools return raw exceptions with no actionable next steps for the LLM.
Parameter 'symbol' appears in 5 tools but lacks enum constraints or validation hints. LLMs may pass invalid tickers. No guidance on format (e.g., 'AAPL' vs 'aapl').
