TDQS

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations cover the safety profile (readOnly, idempotent, openWorld, non-destructive), and the description adds material context the annotations do not: a priced cost model (5 + 5 per 100 rows), the 7-day cache window, and the returned row shape. These are exactly the billing/caching traits an agent needs before spending credits.

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?

Labeled sections (Use when / Not for / Returns / Cost / Example) make it skimmable and front-loaded with the core purpose. Slightly denser than necessary for a 7-param tool but every line carries actionable information, so little is wasted.

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 a paginated, paid, cached search tool this covers everything an agent needs: scope, alternatives, return fields, pricing, cache lifetime, and a call example. An output schema exists, so return values do not need further elaboration.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3, but the description adds real value beyond it: it ties 'limit' to cost ('default 100 rows = 10 credits') and supplies a worked example invocation. It does not explain cursor pagination or the dry_run/max_credits interaction beyond what the schema already states.

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+resource (Amazon search ideas around a seed, sourced from Amazon related searches, with monthly volume) and explicitly excludes the two nearest siblings by name, so an agent can distinguish it from seo_search_keywords and amazon_get_keyword_metrics without opening any schema.

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?

Contains an explicit 'Use when' with two concrete trigger scenarios and a 'Not for' section that routes to seo_search_keywords for Google data and amazon_get_keyword_metrics for volume on known keywords. When-to-use and when-not-to-use are both covered with named alternatives.

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