Read-onlyIdempotent

Shown in the suburb report as the 'Schools' card in the Lifestyle section.

TDQS

A3.6/5.0

Behavior3/5

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

The annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive and closed-world, so the safety profile is covered. The description's meaningful addition is the hard cost disclosure (205¢ per call) and the report-surface context, but it says nothing about return shape, result volume, or what happens on an unmatched suburb name.

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?

Content is front-loaded: display location, then what is returned, then the interpretive distinction between catchments and nearby. Every sentence is on-topic; the bolded price line is short and easy to find. Only the report-card placement sentence is arguably dispensable.

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 single-parameter, no-output-schema, fully-annotated bundle tool, the description gives enough to know what will come back and what it costs. The one real gap is any hint about the accepted format for suburb_name, which matters more here because each call is billed.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0% for the single parameter, and the description never explains what form suburb_name takes (plain name, postcode, or slug) or how ambiguous names are handled. The name 'suburb_name' carries most of the meaning, but with an entirely undocumented schema and an expensive per-call cost, the description should have specified the expected format.

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 (schools for a suburb) and spells out the two content halves — public catchments covering the suburb and nearby schools outside the zone — plus the metrics returned (NAPLAN rank, sector, level, attendance). The 'bundle' framing in the title plus the dual catchment/nearby content makes it distinguishable from the narrower catchment and nearby siblings, though no sibling is named explicitly.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

It frames the two questions each half answers ('where would my child be guaranteed a place' vs 'what else is within reach'), which implies this tool is the combined call. But there is no explicit when-to-use guidance, no statement to prefer suburbs_schools_catchment or suburbs_schools_nearby when only one half is needed, and no prerequisites.

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