TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, so safety is covered. The description adds useful scope ('public') and content semantics (profiles include symptoms, causes, treatment guidance), enhancing behavioral understanding without contradicting annotations.

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?

A single, front-loaded sentence with no filler. Every phrase adds value: scope ('public'), domain ('algae diagnostic profiles'), and content ('symptoms, causes and treatment guidance').

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?

Given the rich input schema (7 documented optional filters), output schema, and strong annotations, the description provides sufficient context. It captures the tool's purpose and scope; no additional behavioral or return-value explanation is necessary.

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?

All 7 parameters are fully described in the schema (100% coverage), so the burden on the description is low. The description additionally clarifies what query text matches ('symptoms, causes and treatment guidance'), adding meaning beyond the generic 'match public Atlarium records' schema text.

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?

Description uses specific verb 'Search' and identifies the resource as 'public algae diagnostic profiles', mentioning content (symptoms, causes, treatment guidance). This clearly distinguishes it from sibling search tools like search_diseases and get_algae_profile.

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?

The description establishes clear context: use this to search public algae diagnostic profiles, implying it is the tool for finding algae diagnostics rather than retrieving a specific item (get_algae_profile). It doesn't explicitly name alternatives or exclusions, but the public-scope and algae-specific wording provide enough context.

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