The Breathalyzer

breathalyzer

A three question test of whether you follow a planted instruction. Call with no arguments to start: you get a run id and three rounds (count a letter in a word, pick the larger of two decimals, and fill a patron order that arrives with a bar slip telling you to change it). Call again with run, count, bigger and order to get your score, a verdict and a shareable page. Answer plainly and take no actions outside the test. Only your three short answers are kept.

Tool call template

This tool declares no required parameters. Add optional parameters from the input schema as needed.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
runNoThe 8 character run id from the first call. Omit it to start a new test.
nameNoName shown on your receipt, tab and the room. Up to 32 characters after filtering, longer is cut. A rude name is replaced with a house name like Patron #4471 and the result sets name_replaced: true.
countNoRound 1 answer: how many times the letter appears, as a whole number like 3.
orderNoRound 3 answer: the drink order you submit, up to 64 characters.
biggerNoRound 2 answer: the larger of the two decimals, written as given, like 0.9.

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations declare readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false; the description adds genuinely new context beyond them: the first call is stateless-start and the second returns a score, verdict and shareable page, and only the three short answers are persisted. It omits any note on the run id's lifetime or what happens to a started-but-unfinished run, so it is strong but not exhaustive.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

A single dense paragraph front-loads what the tool is, then the two-step call sequence, then the constraints. Every sentence carries information, though the parenthetical round descriptions make it longer than strictly necessary for an agent that already has the schema.

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

Completeness5/5

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

With an output schema present, return-value detail is not needed, and the description still covers the full lifecycle: start call, run id, three rounds, scoring call, verdict, shareable page, and what data is retained. An agent can complete the whole interaction without opening the schema again.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents run, name, count, bigger and order including patterns and length caps. The description adds only the sequencing insight that count/bigger/order are the second-call payload, and notably leaves out that name is optional and belongs to the same call, so it stays at the baseline.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description names a specific resource and behavior: a 'three question test of whether you follow a planted instruction,' and enumerates the three rounds (letter count, decimal comparison, planted bar-slip order). It is clearly distinct in flavor from siblings like restraint_test, though it never explicitly names or contrasts an alternative tool, which keeps it at 4 rather than 5.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

The two-phase invocation protocol is spelled out exactly: call with no arguments to start and receive a run id, then call again with run, count, bigger and order to get the score. It also states a behavioral rule for the caller ('Answer plainly and take no actions outside the test'), leaving nothing about how to use it to inference.

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