TDQS

A3.9/5.0

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so the agent knows it is safe. The description adds that data comes from crawled menu availability and is preview tier, which is genuinely useful transparency about data provenance. It doesn't disclose pagination or staleness behavior, but those are minor for a single-record lookup.

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?

A single, information-dense sentence that front-loads the primary purpose and then adds supporting detail. It earns its length, though it could be split into two sentences for readability.

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 single-parameter read-only lookup with a 100%-covered schema, the description is largely complete. It names what's included in the result (provenance note, brand hierarchy, reviews) and doesn't need to restate return values since an output schema exists. Minor gaps: no mention of null-result behavior when no dispensaries stock the brand or no reviews exist.

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 parameter description ('Brand slug or name') is sufficient. The tool description confirms the param's meaning by saying lookup is 'by slug or name', but adds no syntax or format details beyond schema. Baseline 3 applies.

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?

States a specific verb ('get'), resource ('brand'), and scope ('full public record'), and lists concrete contents (dispensaries that stock it, parent/child brands, FindWeedNY reviews). The detail level distinguishes it from siblings like search_brands or get_review without needing to open schemas.

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?

The description implies a lookup-by-identifier use case via slug or name and implies this is the detailed-record counterpart to search_brands. It doesn't explicitly state when to prefer get_review or get_dispensary, so it loses a point on explicit alternatives.

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