TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

The description goes well beyond the readOnlyHint and openWorldHint annotations by disclosing the extraction pipeline (Trafilatura with markdownify fallback), the filtering behavior (boilerplate/nav/ads removed), SSRF guarding, the 3 MB limit, and the payment/free-tier model. This gives the agent strong expectations about side effects, constraints, and costs.

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?

Three dense, front-loaded sentences: purpose and output, extraction behavior and constraints, then payment terms. Every sentence adds distinct and necessary information with no filler.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool has an output schema and six parameters, the description covers the essential operational context: input URL type, output format, content filtering, fallback behavior, size cap, payment requirements, and free-tier usage. Nothing critical for invoking the tool correctly is missing.

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 all six parameters are already documented in the input schema. The description adds high-level context about optional links/images and payment, but it does not materially go beyond what the schema already states for any parameter.

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 uses a specific verb and resource ('Convert any public web page into clean, LLM-ready Markdown'), then elaborates exactly what is preserved and removed. This clearly distinguishes the tool from siblings like web_search or pdf_text by its output format and extraction-only scope.

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?

It clearly says when to use the tool: when you have a public web page URL and want clean Markdown. It also states exclusions such as 'public' pages and a 3 MB HTML limit, but it does not explicitly name alternatives or say when to prefer extract_clean or web_crawl instead.

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