TDQS

A4.6/5.0

Behavior5/5

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

Discloses anonymous behavior (capped at 10 rows, no content) beyond annotations. Annotations already mark it as read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive, so no contradiction.

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?

Three short, front-loaded sentences covering purpose, usage guidance, and a behavioral quirk. No fluff.

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?

Covers main behavior, filtering, pagination (cursor), and authentication differences. Output schema exists so return values are not needed. Could mention time range for 'recent', but overall complete.

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%, so baseline is 3. Description adds little beyond what schema already provides (e.g., 'optionally filtered by SEC CIK' is redundant). Does not enhance parameter understanding significantly.

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?

Clearly states 'List recent IPO-company news' with optional CIK filter. Explicitly distinguishes from sibling tools (get_company) by advising to use it for broader issuer context.

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?

Provides when-to-use ('for a news feed') and when-not-to-use ('use get_company with news for broader issuer context'). Also notes anonymous request limitations (10 rows, no content).

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

A4.4/5.0

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool targets a distinct function: charts, company details, company discovery, and news. No overlap in purpose.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with 'get' for retrieval and 'list' for discovery.

Tool Count5/5

Four tools cover the core IPO research workflow without being excessive or insufficient.

Completeness4/5

Covers company discovery, details, charts, and news. Missing a dedicated IPO calendar tool, but existing tools handle date ranges and filters.
