TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the annotations (read-only, idempotent, non-destructive), the description discloses case-insensitive lookup, standalone execution, and provides a link to the full output and error contract. These are behavioral details not covered by the 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?

The description is well-organized with clear sections (WORKFLOW, INPUT CONTRACT, DO NOT CONFUSE WITH, full contract link). It is concise, uses short bullet-like sentences, and avoids unnecessary elaboration.

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?

The description covers the return content (Jungian archetype, Vedic meaning, context variants, related symbols), the input format with examples, the output format options, and points to a full contract link. Combined with the schema and annotations, it gives the agent full context needed to invoke correctly.

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?

The schema has 100% description coverage for both parameters. The description's INPUT CONTRACT section only repeats the name parameter details already present in the schema (e.g., examples). No additional semantic meaning is added beyond what the schema already provides.

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?

The description explicitly states the action ('Lookup a specific dream symbol'), the target resource ('by slug or name (case-insensitive)'), and the output contents ('full dual-tradition interpretation...'). It also names the sibling tool it is not to be confused with, making the purpose unmistakable.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

The description provides clear 'DO NOT CONFUSE WITH' guidance to distinguish from asterwise_get_dream_symbols (full listing), and includes a WORKFLOW section indicating it is standalone with no prerequisites or follow-ups. This gives explicit when-to-use and when-not-to-use direction.

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