  2. First observed

TDQS

B3.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

The annotations already declare this as read-only, idempotent, non-destructive, and closed-world, so the safety profile is well covered. The description adds useful context about what is computed, but it does not go beyond that to disclose return format, edge-case behavior, or currency handling beyond what the schema already states. No annotation contradiction is present.

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?

The description is compact and front-loaded: the core calculation output is stated first. The second sentence is a promotional link to an external full version, which is not strictly necessary for invoking the tool but does not obscure the main point. It could be tightened slightly, but it is efficiently structured.

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 simple read-only calculator with a fully described input schema, rich annotations, and an existing output schema, the description is largely complete. It tells the agent what metrics are produced and what primary inputs are expected. It leaves out usage routing and some optional-parameter context, but those are minor against the structured data already available.

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 all four parameters in detail. The description maps three of them to business terms (ad revenue, ad spend, gross margin) but adds no syntax, format, or optionality details beyond the schema, and it does not mention the optional currency parameter. Baseline 3 is appropriate when the schema does the heavy lifting.

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 verb (Calculate) and lists the exact outputs it produces: ROAS, ACOS, break-even ROAS, and profit. It clearly distinguishes itself from generic calculators by naming those metrics, though it does not explicitly differentiate itself from the sibling roas_to_mer_converter or other ad-spend calculators.

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?

The description gives no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention exclusions, prerequisites, or sibling tools such as roas_to_mer_converter or ad_spend_waste_calculator. At best, its context is implied by the listed metrics and inputs.

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