TDQS

B3.3/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is fully covered and the description adds little on that axis. It does contribute the domain boundary (ABA plus state bars) and the non-legal-advice caveat, but says nothing about result volume, ranking, or how pagination interacts with the cursor parameter.

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 sentences, front-loaded with the resource and scope, with the disclaimer placed last where it belongs. Every clause carries information; there is no filler or restatement of the title.

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 and 86% of parameters are documented, so the description needn't explain returns. However, with seven parameters and zero required ones, the description never says what a call with no filters returns or which filters combine, which is a meaningful gap for a fully-optional search tool.

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 86%, so nearly every parameter is already documented in the schema, including query examples, the state/ABA convention, and cursor semantics. The description adds no parameter-level meaning beyond that, which is the expected baseline when the schema does the work.

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 names a specific resource (bar ethics opinions from ABA and state bars) and constrains it to lawyer marketing, with concrete example topics (pay-per-lead, Google reviews, AI chatbots, referral fees, social media). An agent can tell this apart from search_rules or get_rule by subject matter, though the verb itself is only implied by the tool name rather than stated.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

There is no statement of when to use this versus siblings such as search_rules, get_rule, or search, nor any exclusion criteria. The only guidance-like sentence, 'Results are not legal advice,' is a disclaimer rather than a usage rule, so the agent must infer routing from the name and topic examples alone.

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