  2. First observed

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, openWorldHint=false, and destructiveHint=false, covering the safety profile. The description adds the constraint of providing exactly one identifier, which is useful context, but doesn't disclose return format, rate limits, or other behavioral traits. With annotations covering safety, a 3 is appropriate.

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 core action and resource, followed by the key constraint. No waste, every word earns its place.

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?

Given the tool's simplicity, the presence of a full output schema, and comprehensive annotations, the description is nearly complete. It could mention the output is a 'bounded' profile which hints at scope, but doesn't specify any limitations or prerequisites beyond the identifier constraint. However, for a read-only retrieval tool, this is largely sufficient.

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 100%, so the schema already documents slug, representative_id, and representative_type fully. The description adds the requirement of 'exactly one' identifier, which is a semantic constraint not explicitly in the schema, but otherwise doesn't expand on parameter meanings.

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 ('Return') and resource ('bounded public evidence profile for one published IP firm or attorney'), which is clear enough to distinguish from siblings like find_ip_representatives. It doesn't explicitly name which sibling to use instead, but the scope is well-defined.

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 by requiring exactly one identifier ('Provide exactly one numeric representative_id or public profile slug'), which constrains the call. However, it doesn't state when to use this tool versus find_ip_representatives or get_ip_market_snapshot, leaving the choice implicit.

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