TDQS

B3.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover the read-only, non-destructive, open-world profile, and the description adds genuinely useful context they cannot: no API key or wallet required, free during validation, and that source/input limits apply. It stops short of quantifying those limits or describing result pagination, but the auth/cost disclosure is real added value.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The purpose clause is front-loaded and efficient, but 'Supply your task in input' and 'Existing source and input limits apply' are vague boilerplate that consume space without adding meaning.

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 return values need not be explained, and the safety profile is covered by annotations. However, for a tool whose only parameter is an undescribed nested object, the description should clarify date format, limit behavior, and language selection; those gaps remain.

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?

Schema description coverage is 0% and the single parameter is a nested object, so the description carries the full burden. It only alludes to 'dated' results and 'namespace filtering' without naming the date format, the limit maximum of 100, or the language enum, leaving the actual input semantics to the schema's bare types.

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?

States a specific verb and resource: returning dated Wikipedia article links ranked by official daily pageviews, with rank and view counts. This clearly distinguishes it from sibling readers like web_wikipedia_read and web_wikipedia_pack, though it never names those alternatives.

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?

The description gives cost/prerequisite information (free, no key or credits) but no guidance on when to choose this over web_wikipedia_read, web_wikipedia_pack, or the trial variants. 'Supply your task in input' is not actionable routing guidance.

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