TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already establish that this is a read-only, idempotent, non-destructive, non-open-world check. The description adds useful behavioral context by limiting coverage to 2026/2027 and to 'the years whose rates are published,' and by restricting applicability to Germany. It does not contradict any annotation.

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 purpose is front-loaded in the first phrase, followed by the concrete checks, the usage timing, and the geographic scope. The description is dense but not padded; every sentence contributes scope or usage guidance.

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?

For an eight-parameter legal check with a full output schema and complete schema descriptions, the description provides enough context: jurisdiction, covered years, covered calculations, and when to use it. Return-value details are correctly left to the output schema, and safety behavior is covered by annotations.

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 every parameter is already documented in the input schema. The description supplies high-level context such as annual limits including one-off payments and employer flat-rate contributions, but it does not add parameter-level meaning 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 states a specific verb and resource: a mini-job check under German law (§ 8 SGB IV) covering maximum hours, minimum wage, annual limit, and employer flat-rate contributions. It distinguishes the tool from general wage or cost checks by explicitly scoping it to Minijob / geringfügige Beschäftigung and by naming the relevant years and country.

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?

It gives a clear usage moment: 'Use it before hiring a mini-jobber or changing hours or pay.' It also adds a geographic exclusion with 'Germany only,' which is a useful when-not condition. It does not explicitly point to sibling alternatives such as mindestlohn_check, so it falls short of the top score.

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