TDQS

A4.2/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=false; the description adds that the directory is 'Public' (no auth) and names the return fields (slug, name, HQ, website, claim, sap_signal_band). It omits pagination behavior and default result count, which would be useful for a cursor-based search.

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?

Two dense sentences with zero waste: the searchable dimensions come first, the return fields next, then the disambiguation pointer. Every clause carries information.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a 7-parameter, all-optional search tool with an output schema and read-only annotations, the description covers scope, filters, return shape, and the key sibling boundary. The main missing piece is result-set behavior (limit defaults, cursor usage), which is minor given the schema and output schema.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema coverage is 57%, and the description maps the filters to concepts ('by text, country, region, kind or declared module'), including the useful hint that module means a declared module. It adds no detail for limit or cursor, and no matching/syntax rules beyond what the schema already states.

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?

States a specific verb ('Search') and resource ('SAP AI & analytics service providers'), enumerates the entity subtypes covered, and lists the filter dimensions. It explicitly differentiates from the sibling find_sap_clients by routing SAP end-customers there.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Gives a clear when-to-use boundary against the nearest alternative (end-customers go to find_sap_clients) and signals that kinds and modules should be resolved via list_firm_kinds / count_firms_by by=module. It stops short of explicit when-not guidance or describing alternative lookup paths such as get_firm.

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