TDQS

C2.8/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations, the description must carry the full burden. It usefully notes that conversion happens 'offline', but it does not disclose how invalid or empty q is handled, whether coordinates are expected in a particular order, or what the output contains. This is thin protection for a tool with no annotation safety profile.

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 a single, front-loaded line with no filler. Every token adds value: input, output, both naming variants, and offline availability.

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

Completeness2/5

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

For a straightforward conversion tool, the description is too sparse. It omits the expected coordinate representation and behavior for empty queries, leaving the input side under-specified even though an output schema may exist.

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

Parameters2/5

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

The single parameter q has no schema description (0% coverage), and the description merely labels it 'Coords'. An agent cannot infer the exact coordinate format, order, delimiter, or whether the default empty q is meaningful.

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 states the tool converts coordinates into Open Location Code / Google Plus Code, a specific format that distinguishes it from sibling tools like geohash, MGRS, and Maidenhead. It lacks an explicit verb but the 'Coords → ...' direction is unambiguous.

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?

No guidance is given on when to prefer pluscode over sibling coordinate converters such as geohash or mgrs. The only contextual hint '(offline)' indicates availability, not selection criteria.

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