TDQS

A4.1/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations declare readOnlyHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds meaningful behavioral context beyond that: it discloses that availability comes from 'crawled menu availability, preview tier' (a data-quality caveat), that reviews are 'FindWeedNY's own' (source attribution), and that reviews appear only 'when there are any' (conditional presence). This is exactly the kind of context that helps an agent set expectations.

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?

The description is a single, information-dense sentence that front-loads the core purpose ('Full public record for one brand') before listing contents. Every clause adds value. It is slightly long but justified by the need to enumerate the record's components. No filler or repetition.

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 read-only single-resource lookup with one fully documented parameter and an output schema present, the description covers the key expectations: what the record contains, the data source caveat, and the conditional nature of reviews. It doesn't explain the output schema's structure, but the output schema itself handles that. A minor gap is not stating what happens when no brand matches, but that is a small omission for a lookup tool.

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 'brand' is described as 'Brand slug or name' in the schema. The description reinforces this by saying 'by slug or name' but adds no new format details, such as case sensitivity or how to disambiguate. Baseline 3 is appropriate because the schema already carries the parameter meaning.

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 states a specific verb ('get') and resource ('full public record for one brand'), and enumerates the exact contents: licensed NY dispensaries stocking it, parent/child brands, and FindWeedNY's own product reviews. This clearly distinguishes it from siblings like search_brands (search vs. get) and get_dispensary (different resource).

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 when to use this tool: when you need a full public record for a single brand by slug or name, including availability and reviews. It doesn't explicitly state when not to use it or name alternatives, but the 'by slug or name' qualifier and the contrast with search_brands (which would be for discovery) provide clear context. A small gap: no explicit exclusion like 'for searching, use search_brands instead.'

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