TDQS

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/openWorld/idempotent/non-destructive, so the safety bar is covered; the description goes further with the credit cost formula (5 + 5 per 100, with a worked example), a 7-day cache window, and the null-means-no-data return semantic. These are exactly the operational traits an agent cannot get from annotations.

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?

Front-loaded one-line summary, then labeled blocks (Use when / Not for / Returns / Cost / Example) with no filler. Every sentence carries a distinct fact and the alternative-tool routing appears before the logistics.

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?

With 5 parameters, an output schema present, and annotations covering safety, the description supplies everything else an agent needs: cost model, caching, volume semantics, input ordering, and a call example. Nothing required to invoke it correctly is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 80% and already documents dry_run, language, location and max_credits, so the baseline is 3. The description adds meaning the schema lacks: the 1,000-keyword cap and the order-preservation behavior for the keywords array, plus a concrete JSON example. It does not discuss the budget/dry-run interaction, which keeps it from a 5.

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 and resource (monthly Amazon search volume for keywords) plus hard scope boundaries: up to 1,000 keywords, input order preserved, only keywords you already have. This clearly separates it from amazon_search_keywords (discovery) and seo_get_keyword_metrics (Google).

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?

Explicit 'Use when' examples give three concrete scenarios, and 'Not for' names the exact alternative tool for each wrong-intent case (seo_get_keyword_metrics for Google volume, amazon_search_keywords for keyword discovery). An agent needs no inference to route correctly.

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