Tire Size Comparison Calculator

compare_tire_sizes
Read-only

Compare tire diameter, circumference, ride height, and speedometer change. Calculates from measured inputs without authentication and does not read or save account data. Actual mounted diameter changes by tire model and pressure. Use manufacturer specs when available.

Tool call template

Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.

TDQS

A3.9/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and destructiveHint=false, so the description earns credit for adding genuinely new context: no authentication required, no account data read or saved, and a real accuracy caveat that mounted diameter varies by model and pressure. It stops short of noting rounding/precision or unit-mixing pitfalls, but the added disclosure is substantive.

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?

Front-loaded with what is compared, then safety and accuracy notes in three short sentences. The authentication/account-data sentence is marginally redundant with the read-only annotations but still informative.

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?

Seven required parameters are fully documented in the schema, an output schema exists to explain return values, and the description covers the accuracy limitation that matters most for a calculator. Missing only explicit scoping against sibling calculators.

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%, with units, ranges, and the unitSystem enum fully documented per field, so the baseline is 3. The description only alludes generically to 'measured inputs' and adds no per-parameter meaning beyond the 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?

Opens with a specific verb and resource ('Compare tire diameter, circumference, ride height, and speedometer change'), naming the exact outputs. This clearly separates it from calculation siblings like calculate_gear_ratio_speed or calculate_tire_pressure_adjustment.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

It establishes context ('calculates from measured inputs') and an input-source preference ('use manufacturer specs when available'), but never states when to prefer this tool over a sibling or what inputs would make it inappropriate. Usage is implied rather than guided.

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