Risk of bias assessment (sometimes called "quality assessment" or "critical appraisal") helps to establish transparency of evidence synthesis results and findings. and it is mandatory to have it in your systematic review!
if you know any tools or used ones, can you please share it/them with me?
or if you have extra information regarding the risk of basis assessments, can you share it with me?
there are several tools that can be used to assess the quality of included studies in a systematic review and it can be chosen according to the type of study
For example JADAD scale is used to assess RCTs, and Newcastle-ottawa scale for cross sectional and cohort studies

Systematic reviews and meta-analyses are proliferating, as they are an important building block to inform evidence-based guidelines and decision-making. Enforcement of best practice in clinical trials is firmly on the research agenda of good clinical practice, but there is less clarity as to how evidence syntheses that combine these studies can be influenced by bad practice. Our aim was to conduct a living systematic review of articles that highlight flaws in published systematic reviews to formally document and understand these problems...
Many hundreds of articles highlight that there are many flaws in the conduct, methods and reporting of published systematic reviews, despite the existence and frequent application of guidelines. Considering the pivotal role that systematic reviews have in medical decision-making due to having apparently transparent, objective and replicable processes, a failure to appreciate and regulate problems with these highly cited research designs is a threat to credible science...

Research assessment exercises are necessary — but we need to learn to do them better
“Evaluation has the power to shape research culture for good and ill,” argues a Nature editorial. “It needs to be done well.” This might mean moving away from journal-based metrics, anticipating how appraisal systems can be gamed and including transparency, open-science and responsible-research practices in evaluations...
