twin_benchmark_guide

Read-only

COMPARE MECHANISMS on identical observations. Read the schema and synthetic example, then call run_twin_benchmark. Results report errors and missing measurements, not a universal winner.

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already establish readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=false. The description adds useful behavioral context by warning that results report errors and missing measurements rather than a universal winner, which sets correct expectations for what the guide and benchmark produce.

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?

Two short sentences with no wasted words. The comparison goal is front-loaded, followed by the concrete next step, making the description easy to scan.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

An output schema exists, so the description needn't describe return values in detail. Still, for a guide-oriented tool it could more clearly state what the schema and synthetic example contain, and how they help the agent use run_twin_benchmark correctly.

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?

The tool has zero parameters and 100% schema description coverage, so there are no parameter semantics to explain. The baseline for a no-parameter tool is appropriate here.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose3/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description says 'COMPARE MECHANISMS on identical observations' and instructs the agent to read the schema and example before calling run_twin_benchmark. It implies this is preparatory guidance, but it never explicitly states that this tool itself returns guidance rather than performing the benchmark, leaving the tool's own function somewhat ambiguous.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

It gives a clear sequence: read the schema and synthetic example, then call run_twin_benchmark. However, it does not explain when not to use this tool or mention any alternative guide/benchmark pathways beyond the single next-step call.

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