TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/openWorld and destructive=false, and the description reinforces this with 'No auth needed; read-only and live.' Because no output schema exists, the description's enumeration of returned fields (name, version, author, price, install count, rating, category) is genuinely additive; only pagination/total-count behavior is left unstated.

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 tight sentences ordered by importance: what it is, what alternatives exist, then operational behavior and return shape. The 'WattCoin:' prefix is the only mild redundancy with the title, but nothing else is wasted.

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 5-param, zero-required read tool with rich annotations and no output schema, the description covers auth, safety, alternatives and return fields. The remaining gap is pagination/ordering of results across pages, which the description leaves entirely to the schema defaults.

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%, including enum values and defaults for sort, category, page and limit, so the schema carries parameter meaning. The description only echoes 'optional search, category and sort' and says nothing about page/limit semantics, so it adds little beyond the schema — a baseline 3.

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 (Browse) and resource (Skills Marketplace of community-built automation skills for WattOS) plus the supported filters. It is immediately distinguishable from get_skill (single-skill detail) and install_skill (mutation), which are named explicitly.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly routes the agent: 'Use get_skill for the full detail of one skill and install_skill to install a free one.' It also states the context precondition (no auth needed) so an agent knows it can call this before registering or authenticating.

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