Where this data comes from, and how to cite it

dataset_provenance

The source, the date it was computed, the licence and the citation for the Partnro dataset. Read this to attribute a figure correctly.

A3.9/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must convey the tool's behavior. It lists the returned content (source, date, licence, citation) but does not disclose additional behavioral traits such as whether this is read-only, whether the data is always available, or how it is returned. It is adequate but not rich.

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 description is one compact sentence that front-loads the key content fields and ends with the practical use case. There is no wasted wording.

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?

For a parameterless provenance lookup, the description covers the returned fields and the intended application. It does not describe the output format, but with no output schema and a straightforward metadata purpose, the description is sufficiently complete for an agent to invoke the tool 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, so the input schema provides no semantic guidance. The description compensates by explaining what information is exposed, which is the relevant 'semantic' content for a no-argument lookup tool.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states the tool provides provenance information: source, computation date, licence, and citation for the Partnro dataset. It also gives an explicit use case ('to attribute a figure correctly'), which distinguishes it from sibling tools focused on columns, rows, search, stats, and comparison.

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?

The phrasing 'Read this to attribute a figure correctly' provides clear context for when to use the tool. It does not explicitly mention alternatives or exclusions, but the purpose is distinct enough among siblings that this is a minor gap.

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