A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description does some heavy lifting by stating 'No key' (no auth required) and that results are ids rather than content, which shapes expectations for a follow-up call. It says nothing about result limits, ranking, pagination, or error behavior, which matter for a search endpoint.

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?

Three short, front-loaded sentences with zero filler; the purpose comes first and the follow-up hint comes last. Slightly telegraphic, but every clause carries information.

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 one-parameter discovery tool with no annotations or output schema, the description covers purpose, auth requirement, and the return shape (ids feeding fetch_doc). Missing only peripheral detail such as expected result volume, which is minor at this complexity.

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 coverage is 100% and the single 'query' parameter is already documented as 'What you want to know, in a few words.' The description adds no syntax, phrasing tips, or constraints beyond the schema, so 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 and resource ('Search the FanDuel API docs, guides and answers') and ties the output to a named sibling ('Returns ids for fetch_doc'). It does not distinguish itself from the sibling tool named 'search', so an agent cannot tell from this text alone which search to pick.

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?

Implies the workflow clearly: call this first to discover ids, then call fetch_doc for content. No explicit when-not-use condition and no guidance versus the generic 'search' sibling, so it falls short of the top band.

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