TDQS

B3.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=false, so safety is covered structurally. The description adds genuinely new behavioral context in the cost line ('10¢ per call'), which matters for a tool likely to be called repeatedly. It does not disclose result shape, granularity, or whether missing suburbs error out versus returning nulls.

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?

Two short sentences: the payload contents are front-loaded, followed by the price. Every element carries information and there is no filler. The dense noun-phrase style is slightly terse but appropriate for a lookup endpoint.

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

Completeness3/5

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

With no output schema, the description carries the burden of explaining what comes back; it does so at a headline level but never enumerates the fields an agent would need to plan a downstream step (e.g., what the terrain scalars are, or how the flags are encoded). For a low-complexity single-param read, this is adequate but incomplete.

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?

Only one parameter (suburb_name) exists and the schema has 0% description coverage, but the parameter's meaning is self-evident from its name. The description adds no format detail — e.g., whether a postcode, exact match, or fuzzy suburb string is expected — which is a real gap given the low schema coverage.

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?

Names the concrete content returned — POI category breakdown, terrain scalars, nearest train/shop, beach/hospital flags — which tells an agent this is a composite lifestyle snapshot rather than a raw POI list. It lacks a verb and does not explicitly distinguish itself from near-neighbors like suburbs_lifestyle_pois or suburbs_lifestyle_narrative, so it falls short of a 5.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

There is no when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites, and no mention of any alternative tool. The agent must infer from sibling names alone whether to call this summary or the detailed POI/landmark/livability endpoints, which the description never addresses.

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