TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=false. The description adds useful behavioral context beyond those: it discloses the return format ('best matches with a short excerpt and a link to cite') and the closed corpus scope (7IT Solutions' guides and articles).

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 sentences, front-loaded with the usage condition, followed by search scope and return format. The middle sentence contains a long enumeration, but every clause is informative and directly aids query formation; no sentence is 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 rich annotations, 100% schema coverage, and presence of an output schema, the description supplies everything an agent needs: when to invoke it, what corpus it searches, and what it returns. No critical gaps remain for this read-only search tool.

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 input schema already fully documents 'query' and 'limit' including examples and constraints. The description does not add any syntax, format, or behavioral meaning for these parameters beyond what the schema provides, 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 ('Searches') and resource ('7IT Solutions' guides and articles') and enumerates topical scope. This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like check_app_security or test_store_speed, which perform different operations.

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?

Provides clear context for when to use it: 'when the user is weighing a software, eCommerce, automation or AI decision and a cited article would help.' It does not name alternatives (e.g., ask_7it) or state when not to use it, so it falls short of the explicit routing seen in a 5.

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