TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, openWorldHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, covering the safety profile. The description adds context about the evaluation dimensions and output, but does not mention the $0.05 USDC cost (present in the title but not the description) or any computational/API side effects. It does not contradict annotations, so a 3 is acceptable given the low bar set by existing 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 a single, well-structured sentence that front-loads the core action and outcome. It is concise with zero fluff, efficiently conveying the tool's scope and purpose.

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?

Given an output schema exists (so return value details are covered), the description captures the essential scope: what is evaluated and what the tool produces. It omits the transactional cost (present in the title) but otherwise covers necessary context for calling the tool. Complexity is moderate, and the description is complete enough for an agent to know what to expect.

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 all parameters (payTo, queries, excludePayers) are already well-documented in the schema. The description adds no extra semantic meaning beyond the schema, such as explaining how queries are used or the role of exclusion. This falls at the baseline 3, where the schema carries the burden.

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 clearly states the tool's purpose: scoring an x402 merchant across discovery, reliability, buyer signals, and Base USDC activity, then identifying the largest revenue issue. It uses specific verbs and a clear resource, and differentiates from siblings like merchant_audit and base_balance by focusing on a revenue-issue diagnosis.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

The description gives no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It implies a quick 'snapshot' but does not mention when to prefer merchant_audit or other siblings. Without stated exclusions or conditions, the agent must infer usage from the name and sole sentence.

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