TDQS

A4.2/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already provide readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, and idempotentHint. The description adds behavioral details beyond these: 'Live data — refreshed continuously' and 'Returns up to 5 active listings', which set expectations about freshness and result limits. 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?

The description is four sentences, front-loaded with the core action, and every sentence earns its place: function, filters, result characteristics, and illustrative examples. There is no redundancy or fluff.

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?

For a search tool with 6 parameters and output schema, the description covers the marketplace, live data, result limit, and filter capabilities, plus practical examples. It does not explain return structure, but an output schema exists, so that is not required. It is sufficiently complete for agent invocation.

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 baseline is 3. The description lists filter dimensions (brand, category, city, price range, condition) that map directly to parameters, and the example queries like 'under £2,000' slightly illustrate semantics, but it adds little meaning beyond the already descriptive schema.

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 opens with 'Search live UK used-bike listings on Cyclesite', naming the specific verb, resource, and scope. It distinguishes itself from siblings like search_by_location by focusing on the Cyclesite marketplace and used bikes, while also listing concrete filter dimensions.

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 context is clear: this is for searching used-bike listings on Cyclesite with given filters, supported by example queries. However, it does not explicitly mention when to use an alternative tool (e.g., 'use search_by_location for location-only'), so it lacks formal exclusions but has strong implied usage.

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