Search EU textile regulations

search_eu_textile_regulations

Read-onlyIdempotent

Search regulatory evidence in English legal register. Cite original document and unit; verify each claim. Optional scope narrows corpus partitions. No model assesses the answer in this MCP tool; the client must verify each claim against the returned text. Query embeddings use Alibaba; candidate passages are sent to Jina for reranking.

TDQS

A3.7/5.0

Behavior5/5

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

The description adds substantial behavioral context beyond the readOnly/idempotent annotations: 'No model assesses the answer in this MCP tool; the client must verify each claim against the returned text.' It also discloses the underlying processing pipeline ('Query embeddings use Alibaba; candidate passages are sent to Jina for reranking'). This is exactly the kind of grounding an agent needs for a search tool.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is five sentences, front-loaded with purpose ('Search regulatory evidence in English legal register') and each sentence contributes distinct value. Slight redundancy exists with 'verify each claim' appearing twice, but overall it is efficient and structured.

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?

The description covers the core function, the scope parameter, the client-verification requirement, and the reranking pipeline. An output schema exists, so return-value details are not required. Minor ambiguity remains about whether the corpus is specifically EU textile regulations, but the title and tool name resolve that; top_k is also not explained in prose, but the schema provides a default.

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 input schema has 0% description coverage, so the description must compensate for parameter meaning. It explains only one of three parameters: 'Optional scope narrows corpus partitions.' The 'query' parameter is left to obvious inference, and 'top_k' receives no explanation at all, leaving its semantics (e.g., number of results) to the agent. This is insufficient given the low schema coverage.

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 a specific verb and resource: 'Search regulatory evidence in English legal register.' It also adds operational detail by instructing to 'Cite original document and unit; verify each claim.' This distinguishes the tool from generic siblings like 'search' through the legal-register scope, though it does not explicitly mention 'EU textile' in the description (the title and name do).

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?

The description implies usage context by defining the search domain and noting 'Optional scope narrows corpus partitions,' which is a usage hint. However, it does not explicitly state when to prefer this tool over alternatives like the sibling 'search' or 'find_exact_text,' nor does it provide exclusions or when-not conditions.

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