TDQS

A3.6/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Beyond the readOnlyHint, the description discloses real cost (2 cents per call), the status semantics of results (alive/hireable with probe age, unverified with a free check link), and the limit ceiling. That is meaningful operational context an agent cannot get from the annotations or schema. It stops short of describing pagination or partial-match behavior.

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 compact sentences, purpose front-loaded and the cost/limit facts trailing. Every clause carries information; nothing is padded or repeated beyond the minor limit restatement.

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?

An output schema exists, so return-value detail isn't required, yet the description still tells the agent what status fields come back. Combined with cost and limit, it covers everything needed to invoke correctly; only the relationship to sibling lookup tools is unaddressed.

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 both parameters are already fully documented with types, ranges and examples. The description's "limit default 20, max 50" merely restates the schema and adds nothing about matching semantics (e.g., substring vs tokenized, ranking). Baseline 3 applies.

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?

It names a specific resource and scope: ERC-8004 registry agents on BNB Smart Chain, matched by name and description, joined with ChainHelix live status. The verb is implicit ("matched by") rather than stated, and it doesn't explicitly distinguish itself from neighbors like verified_agents or agent_standing, but the purpose 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?

The description never says when to reach for this tool versus the many sibling lookups (verified_agents, agent_standing, deep_report, agent_report). There are no exclusions or prerequisites, only an implied "search the registry by text". Usage is left to be inferred from the name.

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