Economic calendar and news risk MCP for futures traders. Upcoming FOMC, NFP, CPI events, prop firm news restrictions, risk scoring for ES, NQ, CL, 6E, ZB, GC.
Two tools with basic schemas and descriptions, but significant gaps in parameter documentation and output schema clarity. Tool names follow verb_noun convention (get_, check_). Descriptions exist but are brief (50-80 chars, below the 194-char baseline). Input schemas present with types and enums, but missing descriptions for several parameters. No documented output schemas. Error handling and recovery guidance absent. Composition is reasonable, tools are single-purpose and chainable via symbol/firm parameters.
Check whether a prop firm's news restriction window is active now or in the next N minutes.
Get upcoming economic calendar events for the next N days. Includes FOMC, NFP, CPI, EIA, PMI and more.
Output schemas not documented. LLMs cannot infer what fields get_upcoming_events returns (e.g., does it include avgMovePoints, recurring, datetime?). Agents cannot plan downstream calls without knowing response structure.
Parameter descriptions incomplete. 'instruments' in get_upcoming_events lacks description (only type visible). 'symbol' in check_trading_restriction lacks description. LLMs cannot determine valid values or when to use these parameters.
No error handling or recovery guidance. If a firm name is invalid or symbol is unrecognized, no guidance on what to do next. Agents cannot self-correct.
Tool descriptions are too brief (55 - 65 chars vs. 194-char baseline). 'Check whether a prop firm's news restriction window is active now or in the next N minutes' lacks context on WHEN to call this tool or what the response means for trading decisions.

No idempotency or confirmation pattern for trading-critical tools. check_trading_restriction is read-only (safe), but if future tools modify trading state, agents need dry-run or confirmation support.
