TDQS

C2.4/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations declare destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=false but readOnlyHint=false, so the safety profile is only partly clear. The description adds nothing about whether the call is a POST or GET, whether credentials are required, what happens on an unknown domain, or how results are shaped, despite having no output schema to lean on.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

One short, front-loaded sentence with no filler. It is efficient, though efficiency here partly reflects under-specification rather than tight curation.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With a fully undocumented required parameter, no output schema, and a readOnlyHint of false, the definition leaves key facts missing: parameter format, required auth, and response shape. For a lookup tool with these gaps the description should do considerably more.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the single required 'lookup' parameter is completely undocumented. The phrase 'by domain' weakly implies lookup is a domain string or JSON payload, but the parameter name itself suggests a JSON blob, leaving genuine ambiguity the description does not resolve.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose3/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description names a resource (keyword data) and a scope (by domain), plus 'JSON lookup', but 'lookup' is a generic verb and the phrasing largely restates the tool name. It gives no hint of what a result contains or how it differs from sibling tools such as keywords-search-api.

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?

There is no when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance and no mention of alternatives like keywords-search-api or x402-keywords-api. The agent is left to infer that this is a single-domain keyword fetch rather than a search.

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