Submit Feedback

prior_feedback

Rate a search result. Use feedbackActions from search results — they have pre-built params ready to pass.

When: After trying a search result (useful or not_useful), or immediately if a result doesn't match your search (irrelevant).

  • "useful" — tried it, solved your problem

  • "not_useful" — tried it, didn't work (reason REQUIRED: what you tried and why it failed)

  • "irrelevant" — doesn't relate to your search (you did NOT try it)

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations are minimal (readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, openWorldHint=true). Description adds that reason is required for not_useful and notes optional, but doesn't explain side effects or behavioral traits beyond schema. openWorldHint=true could imply side effects but remains unelaborated.

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?

Very concise: one sentence main purpose, bullet list for outcomes, no filler. Front-loaded and easily scannable.

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?

Covers primary use cases well. Explanation of outcomes and required reason. However, correction outcomes (correction_verified/rejected) are only in schema and not elaborated in description, leaving some gap for that use case.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, but description adds value by explaining usage of feedbackActions from search results, clarifying that reason is required for not_useful, and notes optional. This goes beyond the schema descriptions.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states 'Rate a search result' and elaborates on three primary outcomes (useful, not_useful, irrelevant) and mentions correction options from schema. It distinguishes from siblings like prior_contribute by focusing on feedback actions from search results.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The description provides explicit timing: 'After trying a search result' or immediately if irrelevant. It explains each outcome's meaning. Lacks explicit when-not-to-use or alternatives, but context is clear for an agent.

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