  2. First observed

TDQS

B3.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false and closed-world, so the safety profile is fully covered. The description adds that results are estimates of wasted spend at monthly and annual granularity, which is modest added context, but nothing about precision, assumptions, or edge cases. Appropriate for a pure calculator.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

The first sentence is well front-loaded and does the real work. The second sentence is a promotional URL to an external page, which does not help an agent select or invoke the tool and dilutes an otherwise tight definition.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be explained, and annotations carry the safety and idempotency profile for this closed-world read calculator. The description covers the core computation and inputs; only the optional currency parameter and any assumption caveats are left implicit.

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 all four parameters (including the optional currency ISO code) are already documented in the schema. The description names only the three required inputs and adds no format or unit detail beyond what the schema provides, so the baseline 3 applies.

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?

States a specific verb (estimate) and a narrowly-scoped resource (monthly/annual SaaS spend wasted on overlapping tools), plus names the inputs that drive it. The scenario is distinct from waste-adjacent siblings like ad_spend_waste_calculator, but no sibling is named or contrasted, so this sits at a clear 4 rather than 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?

The description lists the inputs (total spend, tool count, feature overlap), which weakly implies preconditions, but never says when to reach for this tool versus alternatives or when it is not applicable. There is no explicit when/when-not guidance.

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