It is a decomposition reaction and endothermic in nature :
In a decomposition reaction, a compound is broken down into two or more simpler substances. This reaction is a decomposition reaction as $\ce{KClO}_3$ is broken down into $\ce{KCl}$ and $O _2$. It is also endothermic reaction because during decomposition of $\ce{KClO}_3$ heat is taken in for the formation of desired products.
