TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already establish the safe read-only, idempotent, open-world profile, and the description adds meaningful behavior beyond them: the Overture Maps data source (80M+ places), the $0.10 per call cost, nearest-first ordering, the radius-widening fallback, and language translation semantics for human-readable strings.

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?

Front-loaded with recognizable examples and scope before the mechanics, and every sentence is purposeful. The one inefficiency is enumerating the full return field list, which duplicates the existing output schema and could be trimmed.

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 rich annotations and a present output schema, the description supplies everything an agent needs: cost, data provenance, result ordering, and the widening fallback. The redundant returns enumeration is harmless rather than a gap.

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 all parameters including bounds, defaults, and length limits. The description's 'Input: query; optional near, lat and lng, radius_m, limit' largely restates the schema and adds no syntax or defaults beyond it, making the baseline 3 appropriate.

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?

States a specific verb+resource ('Places near me / local search anywhere') and illustrates with concrete queries ('coffee near the Ferry Building', 'ramen near Shibuya Station'). It is clearly distinguishable from siblings like hubvibe_maps_route and hubvibe_maps_weather without opening any schema.

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?

Gives strong usage context: example query formats, the meaning of the 'near' vs lat/lng inputs, and the fallback that 'the area widens when nothing is close'. However, it does not explicitly state when to prefer this over hubs like maps_route or name an alternative, so it stops short of full when/when-not guidance.

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