TDQS

B3.3/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden and does disclose the content payload (Arabic, transliteration, meaning, reflection, Quranic references) plus the Arabic verbatim constraint. However, it is silent on the notable fact that all four parameters are optional — it never says what happens if neither name nor number is supplied, nor how out-of-range or unmatched input is handled.

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?

Two front-loaded sentences with zero waste: the payload list comes first, then the single actionable formatting constraint. Nothing is repeated and nothing is padding.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values needn't be explained, and the schema fully covers parameters. The remaining gap is invocation correctness: with 0 required parameters, the description should state that a name or number must be supplied, otherwise an agent could call it with an empty object and not know what to expect.

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% and each parameter (name, locale, number, audience) is documented in the schema with examples and enum semantics. The description only restates the number range and name lookup, adding no meaning beyond the schema, 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 (Returns) and a precisely bounded resource (one of the 99 Names of Allah) with both lookup keys (number 1-99 or name). It distinguishes itself from find_verses/get_dua/get_quran_verse implicitly because the entity is unique, but it never addresses the overlap with get_quran_verse for the 'Quranic references' it also returns.

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, when-not, or alternative guidance — nothing tells the agent when to reach for this versus get_quran_verse when the user asks about a Quranic reference. The only instruction-adjacent text ('Quote the Arabic exactly') governs output handling, not tool selection.

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