  2. First observed

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already establish readOnly, idempotent, and non-destructive behavior. The description adds meaningful behavioral context: ranking order, reliance on latest 13F filings, and optional filtering capability. It doesn't discuss pagination or output shape, but the output schema covers those, and there is no contradiction with annotations.

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 tightly written sentences deliver the core purpose, ranking, data source, and filter behavior without fluff. The most important information is front-loaded, and every clause earns its place.

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 rich annotations, 100% parameter documentation, and an output schema, the description is fully sufficient. It explains what data is returned, the ordering, the filing period, and how to narrow results. No critical operational detail is missing for an agent to call this tool correctly.

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 every parameter already has a documented meaning. The description reinforces the 'product' parameter with an example ('IBIT') and places it in context, but it does not add significant new semantics beyond the schema. Baseline 3 is 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?

Description opens with a specific verb ('List'), clearly identifies the resource ('institutional investors holding US spot crypto ETFs (Bitcoin ETF complex)'), and narrows scope with ranking ('by total USD held') and source ('latest quarter of SEC 13F filings'). This strongly differentiates it from siblings like get_crypto_holder and get_institution_holdings.

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 clearly states what the tool does and provides concrete usage guidance for the optional product filter with a canonical example. It doesn't explicitly name alternatives or when-not-to-use conditions, but the context is clear enough for an agent to select this tool for the intended purpose.

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