A4.1/5.0

Scored across 10 tools

Disambiguation4/5

Most tools target clearly distinct PubChem resources: search versus compound details, 3D structure versus image, safety, xrefs, bioactivity, and interactions. Some overlap remains between pubchem_get_bioactivity, pubchem_get_compound_interactions, and pubchem_search_assays because all involve targets and assay data, but their descriptions give enough boundaries to choose correctly.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools use a predictable snake_case pattern with a pubchem_ prefix, followed by get_ or search_ and a descriptive noun phrase. The get/search distinction maps cleanly to retrieval-by-ID versus discovery, and the naming is consistent throughout.

Tool Count5/5

Ten tools is well-scoped for a read-only PubChem server covering compounds, assays, safety, structures, and cross-references. Each tool appears to earn its place without obvious filler.

Completeness4/5

The surface covers the core compound lifecycle: search, details, images, 3D structures, bioactivity, interactions, safety, and xrefs, plus assay search and entity summaries. Minor gaps remain, such as dedicated search tools for genes/proteins/taxonomy or richer assay search options, but agents can work around these via IDs and pubchem_get_summary.

Available Tools

10 tools
pubchem_get_bioactivityGet BioactivityA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Get a compound's bioactivity profile: which assays tested it, activity outcomes (Active/Inactive/Inconclusive), target identifiers (NCBI Gene ID, UniProt/GenBank accession), quantitative values (IC50, EC50, Ki, etc.), each assay's type (confirmatory, screening, summary, other), and the PubMed IDs it cites. Filter by outcome, a specific molecular target (NCBI Gene ID or protein accession), and/or assay type to focus the profile — e.g. "is this compound active against target T in confirmatory assays?".

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
cidYesPubChem Compound ID. Resolve from name/SMILES with pubchem_search_compounds.
offsetNoZero-based index of the first assay to return, applied after the outcome and target filters. Pass the nextOffset from a previous call to read the following page. Default: 0.
assayTypeNoKeep only assays of these types: "confirmatory" (dose-response and other follow-up assays), "screening" (primary high-throughput screens), "summary" (records summarizing a project's assays), "other". Matched against PubChem's Assay Type regardless of case; an assay with no recorded type matches none. Combines with outcomeFilter and the target filters — an assay must pass all of them. Omit to keep every type.
maxResultsNoMax assay results to return per page. The per-call cap is 100: a larger value (up to 1000) returns a page of 100 and is reported in cappedInputs. Well-studied compounds have thousands of records; use offset to reach the ones past this page. Default: 20.
targetGeneIdNoFilter to assays against this NCBI Gene ID (1 to 2147483647), including assays recorded only under a protein accession this compound's assay table pairs with the Gene ID (e.g. 5742 also reaches rows carrying only P23219 when another row pairs the two). Obtain Gene IDs from pubchem_search_assays or the targetGeneId field of an unfiltered result here. Combine with outcomeFilter="active" to answer "is this compound active against target T?".
outcomeFilterNoFilter by activity outcome against each assay's reported target: the target a target filter matched, else the first target the assay lists. For a multi-target assay, outcomes against its other targets (in otherTargets) do not count. "active" keeps assays where that outcome is Active — most useful for understanding biological profile. Default: "all".all
targetAccessionNoFilter to assays against this target protein accession (UniProt/RefSeq/GenBank/PDB chain), e.g. "P35354", including assays recorded only under a Gene ID or another accession this compound's assay table pairs with it. Uppercased before matching; a PDB chain ID (the "A" in "1ZHH_A") is kept as given. With targetGeneId, both must name the same target — when the table ties them to different targets, nothing matches. Obtain accessions from pubchem_search_assays or the targetAccession field of an unfiltered result here.

A4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint and openWorldHint, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds that filters compose conjunctively and that outcome is judged against a single reported target, but the pagination cap, offset chaining, and scale warnings live in the schema rather than the description. Modest added value over structured fields.

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?

Two sentences, front-loaded with the core action and payload, then a compact filter/example clause. Dense but every element carries information; nothing is padding.

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?

With an output schema present, describing return contents is partly redundant, but the description still conveys the filter semantics and routing to pubchem_search_assays needed to call the tool correctly. Pagination and caps are delegated to the schema, which is adequate given 100% coverage.

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 coverage is 100% and the schema already documents every parameter in depth, including enum meanings, the 100-result per-call cap, and target-pairing behavior. The description only restates the filter axes at a high level, adding no syntax or format detail beyond the schema, so baseline 3 applies.

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 and resource ('Get a compound's bioactivity profile') and immediately enumerates the dimensions returned (assays, outcomes, target IDs, quantitative values, assay types, PubMed IDs). This clearly separates it from siblings like pubchem_get_compound_interactions or pubchem_get_compound_xrefs, which cover different data domains.

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?

Gives concrete filtering scenarios and a worked example question ('is this compound active against target T in confirmatory assays?'), and points to pubchem_search_assays as the source for Gene IDs/accessions. It does not name an explicit alternative tool to use instead for other bioactivity-adjacent needs, so it falls short of full when/when-not guidance.

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

pubchem_get_compound_3d_structureGet Compound 3D StructureA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Get a compound's default 3D conformer — atomic coordinates and bonds — for one CID. format="json" (default) returns atoms and bonds parsed into structured fields; format="sdf" returns the raw V2000 SDF text for passthrough to docking, rendering, or conformer tools. Optionally lists alternate conformer IDs. Not every compound has computed 3D coordinates (large molecules, mixtures, and some salts do not).

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
cidYesPubChem Compound ID. Resolve from name/SMILES with pubchem_search_compounds.
formatNoOutput format. "json" (default) returns parsed atoms and bonds. "sdf" returns the raw V2000 SDF text for passthrough to other tools.json
maxAtomsNoCap the atoms returned in the format="json" preview. atomCount always reports the full total; omitted rows are disclosed via the truncated/shownAtoms enrichment. Defaults to the first 200 atoms.
maxBondsNoCap the bonds returned in the format="json" preview. bondCount always reports the full total; omitted rows are disclosed via the truncated/shownBonds enrichment. Defaults to the first 200 bonds.
includeRawSdfNoFor format="sdf", return the complete raw V2000 SDF even when it exceeds the safe line cap. Default false: an SDF longer than 500 lines is line-capped with disclosure. No effect when format="json".
includeAlternateConformerIdsNoList the IDs of additional computed conformers beyond the default. Slower than the default response. Default: false.

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescription

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations cover the safety profile (readOnly, idempotent, openWorld), and the description adds substantial behavior beyond them: the 200-atom/bond default truncation, the 500-line SDF cap, the disclosure enrichment on truncation, and that listing alternate conformers is noticeably slower. It also discloses the negative case where no conformer exists at all.

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?

Three front-loaded sentences that put the core purpose first and the caveats last. Some format explanation duplicates the schema description verbatim, which is mild redundancy, but nothing is wasted or padded.

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?

An output schema exists so return-shape explanation is unnecessary; the description instead covers the things an agent needs that structured fields don't convey — truncation defaults, the raw-SDF escape hatch, and the possibility that a valid CID simply has no 3D conformer.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3; the description earns above-baseline credit by explaining the semantic split between format=json and format=sdf and by noting that alternate conformer IDs can be listed. It largely mirrors schema text for maxAtoms/maxBonds/includeRawSdf rather than adding new meaning, so it does not reach 5.

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 and resource ('Get a compound's default 3D conformer — atomic coordinates and bonds — for one CID') and distinguishes itself from siblings like pubchem_get_compound_image, _details, and _xrefs by naming exactly what data is returned. An agent can identify this as the coordinate-retrieval tool without opening the schema.

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?

Gives clear selection guidance between the two modes — json for parsed atoms/bonds, sdf 'for passthrough to docking, rendering, or conformer tools' — and flags the failure case ('Not every compound has computed 3D coordinates (large molecules, mixtures, and some salts do not)'). It stops short of explicitly routing to sibling tools when 3D data is unavailable or when the CID must first be resolved.

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

pubchem_get_compound_detailsGet Compound DetailsA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Get detailed compound information by CID. Returns physicochemical properties (molecular weight, SMILES, InChIKey, XLogP, TPSA, etc.), optionally with a textual description (pharmacology, mechanism, therapeutic use), known synonyms, drug-likeness assessment (Lipinski/Veber rules), and/or pharmacological classification (FDA classes, MeSH classes, ATC codes). Fetches up to 100 CIDs per call; CIDs past that are returned in unprocessed for a follow-up call.

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
cidsYesPubChem Compound IDs to fetch. The per-call cap is 100: the first 100 are fetched, and any past that (up to 1000 in all) are returned in unprocessed, in input order, and reported in cappedInputs. Resolve from names/SMILES with pubchem_search_compounds.
propertiesNoProperties to retrieve. Defaults to a core set: MolecularFormula, MolecularWeight, IUPACName, CanonicalSMILES, IsomericSMILES, InChIKey, XLogP, TPSA, HBondDonorCount, HBondAcceptorCount, RotatableBondCount, HeavyAtomCount, Charge, Complexity.
maxSynonymsNoMax synonyms returned per compound per page. The per-call cap is 100: a larger value (up to 1000) returns 100 per compound and is reported in cappedInputs. PubChem lists hundreds for common drugs; use synonymOffset to reach the ones past this page. Default: 20.
synonymOffsetNoZero-based index of the first synonym to return within each compound's synonym list. The same offset is applied to every compound in the batch. Pass the nextSynonymOffset from a previous call to read the following page. Default: 0.
includeSynonymsNoFetch known names and synonyms (trade names, systematic names, registry numbers), paged via synonymOffset/maxSynonyms. Fetched for every found CID in the batch. Slower for large CID lists.
maxDescriptionsNoMax number of distinct description entries per compound per page. The per-call cap is 20: a larger value (up to 1000) returns 20 per compound and is reported in cappedInputs. PubChem returns near-duplicate summaries from many depositors; duplicates are collapsed before this cap applies. Default: 3.
descriptionOffsetNoZero-based index of the first description to return within each compound's description list. The same offset is applied to every compound in the batch. Pass the nextDescriptionOffset from a previous call to read the following page. Default: 0.
includeDescriptionNoInclude textual descriptions (pharmacology, mechanism, therapeutic use) attributed by source. Well-studied compounds have many overlapping summaries — paged via descriptionOffset/maxDescriptions. Fetched only for the first 10 CIDs in the batch; remaining CIDs return without descriptions and are listed in the response's skippedCids.
includeDrugLikenessNoCompute drug-likeness assessment: Lipinski Rule of Five (MW, XLogP, HBD, HBA) and Veber rules (TPSA, rotatable bonds). Computed from the returned properties, so it adds no latency.
includeClassificationNoInclude pharmacological classification: FDA Established Pharmacologic Classes, mechanisms of action, MeSH classes, and ATC codes. Fetched only for the first 10 CIDs in the batch; remaining CIDs return without classification and are listed in the response's skippedCids.

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescription
errorNoPresent when the call failed. Absent on success.
noticeNoRecovery guidance covering the skipped CIDs, an offset that runs past every compound, and pages that remain. Absent when nothing was skipped or truncated.
compoundsNoCompound detail records, one per CID fetched, in input order. CIDs past the per-call cap are in unprocessed instead.
truncatedNoTrue when this response is not the whole picture: a compound has further synonyms or descriptions past this page, CIDs were skipped by the per-call fan-out limit, or CIDs past the per-call cap were left unfetched. Per-compound totals are in compounds[].synonymsTotal / compounds[].descriptionsTotal; the skipped CIDs are in skippedCids, the unfetched ones in unprocessed.
skippedCidsNoCIDs found in PubChem whose descriptions and classification were NOT fetched because the batch exceeded the per-call fan-out limit. Their absence from a record means "not requested", not "PubChem has none" — re-request these CIDs in a follow-up call. Present only when CIDs were skipped.
unprocessedNoCIDs past the per-call cap of 100, in input order, not fetched. Pass them in a follow-up call. Omitted when every CID was fetched.
cappedInputsNoInputs that asked for more than their per-call cap, with the value requested and the value served. An ID batch lists the IDs past the cap in unprocessed. Omitted when every input was within its cap.
enrichedCidsNoCIDs whose descriptions and classification were fetched. Present only when the batch exceeded the per-call fan-out limit and other CIDs were skipped.
synonymOffsetNoZero-based index of the first synonym returned within each compound's list. Present when includeSynonyms is true.
descriptionOffsetNoZero-based index of the first description returned within each compound's list. Present when includeDescription is true.
nextSynonymOffsetNosynonymOffset to pass on the next call to continue past this page. Omitted when no compound in the batch has further synonyms.

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare read-only, idempotent, open-world behavior, so the bar is lower. The description adds valuable non-obvious constraints: the 100-CID fetch cap with overflow in 'unprocessed', and the description/classification fetch limited to the first 10 CIDs with the rest in skippedCids.

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-loads the CID-based purpose, then condenses the optional payloads and the cap behavior. Dense but every clause carries information; the only mild bloat is the trailing cap sentence which partially duplicates the schema.

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?

Covers purpose, payloads, and cap/pagination behavior, and an output schema exists so return values need not be described. For a 10-parameter tool with rich schema, this is largely complete, though explicit sibling routing is absent.

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 schema fully documents parameters and baseline is 3. The description restates the core option groups but adds no syntax or meaning beyond what the schema provides.

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 and resource ('Get detailed compound information by CID') and enumerates the returned data categories (physicochemical properties, descriptions, synonyms, drug-likeness, classification), clearly distinguishing it from siblings like pubchem_get_compound_safety or pubchem_get_compound_xrefs.

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?

Implies when to use it by listing the payload categories, and the schema points agents to pubchem_search_compounds for name/SMILES resolution. However, the description itself never explicitly states when to prefer this over siblings such as pubchem_get_summary.

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

pubchem_get_compound_imageGet Compound ImageA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Fetch a 2D structure diagram (PNG image) for a compound by CID.

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
cidYesPubChem Compound ID. Resolve from name/SMILES with pubchem_search_compounds.
sizeNoImage size: "small" (100x100) or "large" (300x300). Default: "large".large

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and openWorldHint, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds the output format (PNG image), which is genuinely useful context, but says nothing about image availability failures, rate limits, or what happens for compounds lacking a depiction.

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?

A single sentence with zero filler; the resource, format, and lookup key are all front-loaded.

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 simple two-parameter image fetch with an output schema and full safety annotations, the description covers what the tool returns well enough to call correctly. The only real gap is the absence of usage guidance relative to sibling compound tools.

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%: both cid and size are fully documented in the schema, including the size enum values and the default. The description adds no parameter meaning beyond that, so the baseline 3 applies.

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 plus resource ('Fetch a 2D structure diagram') and pins down output format (PNG) and lookup key (CID). The '2D' qualifier implicitly distinguishes it from the sibling pubchem_get_compound_3d_structure, so an agent can route between the two without opening either schema.

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 offers no when-to-use guidance, no exclusions, and never names an alternative tool. The one routing hint that exists ('Resolve from name/SMILES with pubchem_search_compounds') is present only in the schema's cid description, not in the tool description itself.

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

pubchem_get_compound_interactionsGet Compound InteractionsA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Get a compound's interaction data: drug-food interactions, and the molecular targets its bioassays name — one entry per target as kinds defines it, with its assay counts by outcome and most potent active value, Active targets first, most potent first. Each entry carries its originating source. Results are paged per kind, with the record total and the next offset reported for each. Drug-food coverage is richest for approved drugs; target covers any compound PubChem has assay data for, and pubchem_get_bioactivity lists one target's assays when given the entry's GeneID or accession. Drug-drug interactions (DrugBank) are unavailable while PubChem's SDQ service refuses automated requests: an explicit drug-drug request is reported in failedKinds while the other kinds still return.

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
cidYesPubChem Compound ID. Resolve from name/SMILES with pubchem_search_compounds.
kindsNoInteraction kinds to fetch. "drug-food" (dietary interactions, from PUG View), "target" (molecular targets from the compound's assay summary: one entry per Gene ID with the accessions the table pairs with it, and one per identifier it never pairs, so a Gene ID and an accession that no row pairs are separate entries even when they name the same protein), "drug-drug" (interactions with other drugs, from PubChem's SDQ service, which refuses automated requests, so it is reported in failedKinds). Default: ["drug-food"].
offsetNoZero-based start position within each requested kind, counted in records (molecular targets, for target) rather than returned entries. The same offset applies to every kind in the call, and the kinds advance at different rates — when paging past the first page, request one kind per call and pass that kind's nextOffset. Default: 0.
maxEntriesNoMax entries per kind per page. The per-call cap is 50: a larger value (up to 1000) reads a page of 50 per kind and is reported in cappedInputs. Well-studied drugs have a long tail of interactions; use offset to reach the ones past this page. Default: 10.

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescription
cidNoPubChem Compound ID.
errorNoPresent when the call failed. Absent on success.
noticeNoGuidance when a kind failed, when no interaction data was found, when the offset runs past every requested kind, when target names could not be retrieved, or when further pages remain. Absent when this page is complete and every kind resolved.
offsetNoZero-based start position read within each requested kind.
pagingNoPer-kind page position, one entry per requested kind that was retrieved. A kind listed in failedKinds is absent — its position is unknown, not exhausted.
entriesNoInteraction entries across the requested kinds.
truncatedNoTrue when at least one requested kind has source records remaining past this page. Which kinds, and how many records each holds, is in paging[].truncated / paging[].totalRecords.
nextOffsetNoOffset to pass on the next call, reported when exactly one requested kind has records remaining. Omitted when none do, and when several do — those advance to different positions, so read paging[].nextOffset instead.
failedKindsNoInteraction kinds that could not be retrieved (comma-separated). The returned entries cover the kinds that succeeded. The notice says, per failed kind, whether a retry can help: a timeout or upstream error can clear, while a refusal from PubChem's SDQ service (drug-drug) does not.
cappedInputsNoInputs that asked for more than their per-call cap, with the value requested and the value served. An ID batch lists the IDs past the cap in unprocessed. Omitted when every input was within its cap.
returnedCountNoTotal interaction entries returned across all kinds.
requestedKindsNoInteraction kinds requested (comma-separated).

TDQS

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Goes well beyond the readOnly/idempotent/openWorld annotations: discloses ordering (active targets first, most potent first), that results are paged per kind with record totals and next offsets, that failedKinds reports unavailable drug-drug requests while others succeed, and that maxEntries above 50 is capped and echoed in cappedInputs. This is exactly the kind of failure-mode and output-shape context annotations cannot carry.

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 returned and in what order, then paging, then the drug-drug caveat, then the sibling pointer. Some sentences are dense and clause-stacked ('one entry per target as kinds defines it, with its assay counts by outcome and most potent active value'), costing a little readability, but 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?

For a paged, multi-kind read tool with an output schema and full annotations, the description covers everything an agent needs to call it correctly: valid kinds, default kind, offset units, the 50-entry cap, ordering, and the degraded drug-drug path. Return-value structure is correctly left to the output schema.

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

Parameters4/5

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

With 100% schema coverage the baseline is 3, but the description adds real meaning: offset is counted in records rather than returned entries and applies to every kind simultaneously, so kinds advance at different rates and past the first page you should request one kind per call. That nuance about cross-kind offset semantics is not obvious from the schema alone.

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?

Names a specific verb and resource ('Get a compound's interaction data') and enumerates the concrete kinds returned: drug-food interactions and molecular targets. It explicitly distinguishes itself from the sibling pubchem_get_bioactivity by scope (one target's assays vs. all targets for a compound).

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?

States when each kind applies ('Drug-food coverage is richest for approved drugs; target covers any compound PubChem has assay data for') and routes to the alternative tool with the exact inputs needed ('pubchem_get_bioactivity lists one target's assays when given the entry's GeneID or accession'). It also tells the agent how to behave when drug-drug is requested (reported in failedKinds, other kinds still return) and advises one kind per call when paging.

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

pubchem_get_compound_safetyGet Compound SafetyA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Get GHS (Globally Harmonized System) hazard classification and safety data for one or more compounds by CID. Returns signal word, pictograms, hazard statements (H-codes), and precautionary statements (P-codes) per compound, merged across sources, plus each source's own classification — its signal word, pictograms, H-codes with ECHA notifier agreement percentages, and notification counts — since sources often disagree. Reports ECHA "Not Classified" verdicts as their own status.

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
cidsYesPubChem Compound IDs to fetch safety data for. The per-call cap is 25: the first 25 are looked up, and any past that (up to 1000 in all) are returned in unprocessed, in input order, and reported in cappedInputs. Resolve from names/SMILES with pubchem_search_compounds.

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescription
errorNoPresent when the call failed. Absent on success.
noticeNoGuidance when one or more CIDs returned no hazard classification, listing the unrecognized CIDs to verify, the CIDs that exist but carry no deposited classification, and the CIDs whose only classifications are "Not Classified" verdicts, each separately.
resultsNoSafety results, one per CID looked up (input order preserved). CIDs past the per-call cap are in unprocessed instead.
unprocessedNoCIDs past the per-call cap of 25, in input order, not looked up. Pass them in a follow-up call. Omitted when every CID was looked up.
cappedInputsNoInputs that asked for more than their per-call cap, with the value requested and the value served. An ID batch lists the IDs past the cap in unprocessed. Omitted when every input was within its cap.
withDataCountNoCIDs with a GHS classification on file (status "ok" or "not_classified").
requestedCountNoCIDs requested, including any past the per-call cap left in unprocessed.

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already establish the read-only/idempotent safety profile, but the description goes well beyond them: data is merged across sources, per-source classifications are returned alongside the merge because sources often disagree, ECHA notifier agreement percentages and notification counts are included, and ECHA "Not Classified" verdicts are surfaced as a distinct status. This is unusually rich behavioral disclosure for a read tool.

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 the core purpose, then layered with return-shape and source-disagreement detail; every clause carries information. The second sentence is dense and runs long, but nothing is redundant.

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?

An output schema exists so return values needn't be explained, yet the description still characterizes the return shape and the cross-source merge semantics that an agent must anticipate. Combined with annotations covering safety and the fully-documented parameter, nothing needed for correct invocation is missing.

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% and the single cids parameter is fully documented there, including the 25-per-call cap and cappedInputs reporting. The description only adds the 'one or more compounds' batch framing, so it neither adds much nor leaves gaps.

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 and resource — retrieve GHS hazard classification and safety data for compounds by CID — and enumerates the payload (signal word, pictograms, H-codes, P-codes). This clearly separates it from sibling tools like get_compound_details, get_compound_xrefs, or get_compound_image.

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?

Gives clear context for invocation: compounds are keyed by CID, and names/SMILES must first be resolved with pubchem_search_compounds. It does not, however, state when to prefer this over pubchem_get_compound_details or what it excludes, so it stops short of explicit when/when-not guidance.

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

pubchem_get_compound_xrefsGet Compound Cross-ReferencesA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Get external database cross-references for a compound: PubMed citations, patent IDs, gene associations, CAS and EC numbers with the number of source records that deposited each, other registry numbers, and taxonomy IDs. Results are paged per type — capped at maxPerType with the total count reported; reach the IDs past a page with offset. PubMed IDs come highest (most recently assigned) first and the other numeric types in ascending order; CAS and EC come most-attested first; the other string IDs keep PubChem's order. A type that fails to load is named in failedTypes while the others still return; the call fails only when a type fails and no type other than ProteinGI (which PubChem no longer serves) loads.

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
cidYesPubChem Compound ID. Resolve from name/SMILES with pubchem_search_compounds.
offsetNoZero-based index of the first ID to return within each xref type. The same offset is applied to every requested type. Pass the nextOffset from a previous call to read the following page. Default: 0.
xrefTypesYesCross-reference types to retrieve. String IDs: CAS (the CAS Registry Numbers deposited for this compound, most-attested first, each with the number of source records that deposited it — the first is the value most source records agree on), EC (European Community numbers, ordered and counted the same way), RN (every registry number PubChem associates with the record, unranked: the CAS number alongside deprecated and related CAS RNs, CAS RNs of other substances mapped to the structure, and EC numbers), RegistryID (DSSTox/EPA registry numbers), PatentID. Numeric IDs: PubMedID, GeneID (NCBI Gene — use it for gene/protein associations), ProteinGI (legacy NCBI Protein GI; PubChem currently returns no data for it, so use GeneID instead), TaxonomyID.
maxPerTypeNoMax IDs to return per xref type per page. The per-call cap is 500: a larger value (up to 1000) returns 500 per type and is reported in cappedInputs. A compound may have thousands of PubMed references; use offset to reach the ones past this page. Total count always reported. Default: 50.

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescription
cidNoPubChem Compound ID.
errorNoPresent when the call failed. Absent on success.
xrefsNoCross-references grouped by type, one group per requested type that loaded. A type listed in failedTypes is absent — its IDs are unknown, not empty.
noticeNoGuidance when a type failed to load, when every requested xref type returned zero IDs, when the offset runs past every type, when further pages remain, or when ProteinGI came back empty (PubChem serves no ProteinGI data). Absent when this page is complete and non-empty.
offsetNoZero-based index of the first ID returned within each type.
truncatedNoTrue when at least one requested type has IDs remaining past this page. Which types, and how many IDs each holds in total, is in xrefs[].truncated / xrefs[].totalAvailable.
nextOffsetNoOffset to pass on the next call to continue past this page. Omitted when no requested type has further IDs.
failedTypesNoRequested xref types that could not be retrieved (comma-separated). The returned groups cover the types that loaded. A retry can recover a type that failed transiently (a timeout, network error, rate limit, or 5xx), and the notice names those; a type PubChem rejected fails the same way again.
cappedInputsNoInputs that asked for more than their per-call cap, with the value requested and the value served. An ID batch lists the IDs past the cap in unprocessed. Omitted when every input was within its cap.

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the readOnly/idempotent annotations, the description discloses rich behavior: per-type paging capped at maxPerType with total count reported, offset semantics, type-specific ordering (PubMed newest-first, CAS/EC most-attested-first), and partial-failure handling via failedTypes. This is exactly the behavioral context an agent needs to invoke and interpret results correctly.

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?

The description is dense and front-loaded with the core purpose before moving into paging, ordering, and failure semantics. It is long but every sentence carries operational information; slight tightening around ordering could improve it, but it remains well-structured.

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 tool's complexity (9 xref types, paging, partial failures) and the presence of an output schema, the description covers all decision-critical behavior. An agent knows what it returns, how paging works, and how failures are surfaced without needing to inspect the output schema.

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 schema already documents cid, offset, maxPerType, and xrefTypes in detail. The description reinforces paging and failure behavior but adds no new syntax or format details 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?

The description opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Get external database cross-references for a compound,' then enumerates the exact types returned (PubMed, patent IDs, gene associations, CAS/EC numbers, registry numbers, taxonomy IDs). This clearly distinguishes the tool from siblings like compound details, bioactivity, safety, or image retrieval.

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?

The description establishes clear context for when to use the tool by listing the xref categories it retrieves. It does not explicitly name alternative sibling tools or state when not to use it, but the scope is sufficiently concrete that an agent can infer it is the right call for cross-reference data.

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

pubchem_get_summaryGet Entity SummaryA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Get descriptive summaries for PubChem entities by ID. Supports assays (AID), genes (Gene ID), proteins (UniProt accession), and taxonomy (Tax ID). Up to 10 per call; identifiers past that are returned in unprocessed for a follow-up call.

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
entityTypeYesEntity type. Determines ID format and returned fields.
identifiersYesEntity identifiers. A comma-joined string is split into one identifier per piece, with whitespace trimmed. The per-call cap is 10 pieces: the first 10 are looked up, and any past that are returned in unprocessed, in input order, and reported in cappedInputs. More than 1000 pieces in all fails the call. ID form depends on entityType: - assay: AID, a positive integer, e.g. ["1000"] - gene: NCBI Gene ID, a positive integer, e.g. ["1956"] - protein: UniProt accession, e.g. ["P00533"] - taxonomy: NCBI Taxonomy ID, a positive integer, e.g. ["9606"] For assay, gene, and taxonomy, a piece that is not a positive integer up to 2147483647 written in digits is marked invalid and not looked up.

TDQS

A3.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover read-only, idempotent, and open-world semantics, so the description's contribution is the truncation behavior: lookups beyond 10 are not dropped but surfaced in 'unprocessed' for a follow-up call. That is genuinely useful partial-result disclosure an agent could not infer from the annotations, though return shape and error behavior are left to the output schema.

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?

Three short sentences, front-loaded with the purpose and then the entity-type scope before the operational cap. Slightly awkward phrasing ('returned in unprocessed for a follow-up call') costs a point but nothing is padded.

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?

With annotations and a full output schema present, the description only needs to convey scope and the batching gotcha, and it does. The gap is that it never says why one would pick this summary tool over the compound-focused siblings, which given nine sibling tools is a meaningful omission rather than a fatal one.

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% and the schema already spells out the per-call cap, the comma-splitting rule, the 1000-piece limit, and the per-entityType ID formats. The description restates the 10-item cap and the 'unprocessed' passthrough without adding format or validation detail beyond the schema, so baseline 3 applies.

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

Purpose4/5

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

States a specific verb and resource ('Get descriptive summaries for PubChem entities by ID') and enumerates the entity types plus their ID forms, which distinguishes it from the compound-centric siblings. It does not explicitly contrast itself with sibling tools such as pubchem_search_assays or pubchem_get_bioactivity, so it stops short of a 5.

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?

The batching rule ('Up to 10 per call; identifiers past that are returned in unprocessed for a follow-up call') implies a paginate-by-repeating-call workflow, but there is no explicit statement of when to choose this tool over the search or detail siblings. Usage is inferable rather than stated.

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

pubchem_search_assaysSearch AssaysA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Find PubChem bioassays associated with a biological target. Search by gene symbol (e.g. "EGFR"), protein name, NCBI Gene ID, or UniProt accession. Returns a page of assay IDs (AIDs) — page past maxResults with offset — which can be explored further with pubchem_get_summary.

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
offsetNoZero-based index of the first AID to return. Pass the nextOffset from a previous call to read the following page. Default: 0.
maxResultsNoMax AIDs to return per page. The per-call cap is 200: a larger value (up to 1000) returns a page of 200 and is reported in cappedInputs. Popular targets may have thousands of assays; use offset to reach the ones past this page. Default: 50.
targetTypeYesTarget identifier type. "genesymbol" and "proteinname" accept text names. "geneid" accepts NCBI Gene IDs. "proteinaccession" accepts UniProt accessions.
targetQueryYesTarget identifier. Examples: "EGFR" (genesymbol), "Epidermal growth factor receptor" (proteinname), "1956" (geneid), "P00533" (proteinaccession; uppercased before lookup, except a PDB chain ID such as the "A" in "1ZHH_A", which is kept as given).

capNoThe page size applied: maxResults, or the per-call cap when maxResults exceeds it.
aidsNoPubChem Assay IDs.
errorNoPresent when the call failed. Absent on success.
shownNoAIDs returned on this page.
noticeNoRecovery guidance when no assays matched, when the offset runs past the result set, or when further pages remain. Absent when this page is complete and non-empty.
offsetNoZero-based index of the first AID returned.
truncatedNoTrue when matching AIDs remain past this page.
nextOffsetNoOffset to pass on the next call to continue past this page. Omitted when no further AIDs match.
targetTypeNoTarget identifier type used: genesymbol, proteinname, geneid, or proteinaccession.
totalFoundNoTotal AIDs found for this target, across all pages.
targetQueryNoTarget identifier searched.
cappedInputsNoInputs that asked for more than their per-call cap, with the value requested and the value served. An ID batch lists the IDs past the cap in unprocessed. Omitted when every input was within its cap.

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint and openWorldHint, so the safety and repeatability profile is covered. The description adds the result granularity ('a page of assay IDs (AIDs)') and the pagination mental model, but that pagination detail is largely duplicated in the schema descriptions rather than adding new behavior such as rate limits or capping semantics.

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: purpose first, accepted inputs second, output/pagination/next-step last. No filler, and the most decision-relevant information leads.

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?

An output schema exists and annotations cover the safety profile, so the description only needs to establish search scope, input forms, and pagination behavior plus the downstream tool — all present. Nothing an agent needs to invoke this correctly is missing.

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 every parameter including targetType, targetQuery, offset and maxResults is already documented. The description's examples ('EGFR', '1956', 'P00533') mirror the schema's own examples, so it adds little semantic meaning beyond what the structured fields provide.

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 and resource ('Find PubChem bioassays associated with a biological target') and immediately scopes the input domain (gene symbol, protein name, Gene ID, UniProt accession), which clearly separates it from pubchem_search_compounds. An agent can identify the tool's function without opening the schema.

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?

Gives concrete accepted identifier forms with examples and names the natural follow-up tool ('explored further with pubchem_get_summary'), providing clear usage context. It stops short of explicit when-not-to-use guidance or naming the sibling that handles a different target type.

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

pubchem_search_compoundsSearch CompoundsA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Search PubChem for chemical compounds by identifier (name, SMILES, InChI, or InChIKey, up to 25 per call), molecular formula in Hill notation, substructure or superstructure containment, 2D Tanimoto similarity, or the compounds a bioassay (AID) found active or tested. Returns a page of CIDs — reach matches past maxResults with offset. Optionally hydrate results with properties to avoid a follow-up pubchem_get_compound_details call.

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
aidNoRequired for assay search. PubChem Assay ID (AID) whose compounds to list, from 1 to 2147483647, e.g. 1000. Find AIDs for a biological target with pubchem_search_assays.
queryNoRequired for substructure/superstructure/similarity searches. A SMILES string (e.g. "CC(=O)O") or PubChem CID as a string from 1 to 2147483647 (e.g. "2244").
offsetNoZero-based index of the first CID to return. Pass the nextOffset from a previous call to read the following page. Identifier lookups resolve every match up front, so paging them is free, and assay searches fetch only the requested page, so both page to the end of their matches. Formula, substructure, superstructure, and similarity searches have to ask PubChem for offset + maxResults records to reach a page, so deep pages cost progressively more upstream: those four accept an offset up to 10000. Default: 0.
formulaNoRequired for formula search. Molecular formula in Hill notation (e.g. "C6H12O6", "CaH2O2").
queryTypeNoRequired for structure/similarity searches. Format of the query: "smiles" or "cid".
thresholdNoSimilarity search only. Minimum Tanimoto similarity (70-100). 90+ for close analogs, 70-80 for scaffold hops. Default: 90.
activeOnlyNoAssay search only. When true (default), lists only the compounds the assay marked active; false lists every compound it tested.
maxResultsNoMaximum CIDs to return per page. The per-call cap is 200: a larger value (up to 1000) returns a page of 200 and is reported in cappedInputs. Use offset to reach matches past this page. Default: 20.
propertiesNoOptional: fetch these properties for each result, avoiding a follow-up details call. E.g. ["MolecularFormula", "MolecularWeight", "CanonicalSMILES"].
searchTypeYesSearch strategy; each mode needs its own fields. "identifier": name/SMILES/InChI/InChIKey lookup — requires identifierType and identifiers. "formula": molecular formula — requires formula. "substructure": find compounds containing the query as a substructure. "superstructure": find compounds that are themselves substructures of the query. "similarity": 2D Tanimoto similarity to the query. substructure, superstructure, and similarity require query and queryType. "assay": compounds tested in a PubChem bioassay — requires aid; activeOnly (default true) keeps only the compounds the assay marked active.
identifiersNoRequired for identifier search. Array of identifiers to resolve. The per-call cap is 25: the first 25 are looked up, and any past that (up to 1000 in all) are returned in unprocessed, in input order, and reported in cappedInputs. Examples: ["aspirin", "ibuprofen"] for name, ["CC(=O)OC1=CC=CC=C1C(=O)O"] for SMILES, ["InChI=1S/C9H8O4/c1-6(10)13-8-5-3-2-4-7(8)9(11)12/h2-5H,1H3,(H,11,12)"] for inchi (sent exactly as written, case kept), ["BSYNRYMUTXBXSQ-UHFFFAOYSA-N"] for inchikey (27-char block format; uppercased before lookup, any case accepted).
identifierTypeNoRequired for identifier search. Type of chemical identifier: "name", "smiles", "inchi" (a full InChI string, case-sensitive), or "inchikey".
allowOtherElementsNoFormula search only. When true, includes compounds with additional elements beyond the formula.

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescription
capNoThe page size applied: maxResults, or the per-call cap when maxResults exceeds it.
errorNoPresent when the call failed. Absent on success.
shownNoCIDs returned on this page.
noticeNoRecovery guidance when no compounds matched (for an assay search, when the assay recorded none of the requested kind), when the offset runs past the matches observed, when identifiers had no match or could not be interpreted, when identifiers collided on one CID, when further pages remain, or when a bounded search reached the offset ceiling. Absent when this page is complete and every identifier resolved to its own CID.
offsetNoZero-based index of the first CID returned.
resultsNoMatching compounds.
truncatedNoTrue when matching CIDs remain past this page.
activeOnlyNoAssay search only: true when the list holds only the compounds the assay marked active, false when it holds every compound tested.
nextOffsetNoOffset to pass on the next call to continue past this page. Omitted when no further matches remain, and when a formula, substructure, superstructure, or similarity page would continue past the 10000 offset ceiling (truncated stays true, and the notice says how to narrow the search and names the page at offset 10000 when it still reaches further matches).
searchTypeNoSearch strategy used: identifier, formula, substructure, superstructure, similarity, or assay.
totalFoundNoExact number of matching CIDs across all pages. Omitted when a formula, substructure, superstructure, or similarity search saturated the records it requested — PubChem returns no match count for those, so totalFoundAtLeast reports a floor instead.
unprocessedNoIdentifier-mode only: identifiers past the per-call cap of 25, in input order, not looked up. Pass them in a follow-up call. Omitted when every identifier was looked up.
cappedInputsNoInputs that asked for more than their per-call cap, with the value requested and the value served. An ID batch lists the IDs past the cap in unprocessed. Omitted when every input was within its cap.
totalFoundAtLeastNoLower bound on matching CIDs, reported in place of totalFound when the exact count is unavailable. At least this many match, and the true total may be higher; page further with offset to observe more.
unresolvedIdentifiersNoIdentifier-mode only: input identifiers that resolved to no CID — PubChem had no match, or could not interpret the input as identifierType (the notice says which). Omitted when every identifier resolved and for non-identifier searches.

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations declare readOnly/idempotent/openWorld, and the description goes well beyond them: it discloses paging via CIDs + offset, that identifier lookups resolve all matches up front, and that formula/structure searches must fetch offset+maxResults upstream so deep pages cost more. Those are non-obvious cost and performance traits an agent needs.

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?

Three dense sentences that front-load the search modes and end on the hydration benefit. The mode enumeration is long but each clause maps to a distinct capability; no wasted framing.

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?

With an output schema present, the description needn't document return fields, and it correctly limits itself to 'returns a page of CIDs' plus offset paging. Combined with annotations and full schema coverage, an agent has everything needed to call it correctly across all six modes.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3, but the description adds real value by tying properties to 'avoid a follow-up details call' and flagging offset-based paging and the 25-identifier/cap semantics. It doesn't restate the per-mode required fields, which is fine given 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?

States a specific verb (search) and resource (PubChem chemical compounds) and enumerates every supported search mode — identifier, formula, substructure, superstructure, similarity, assay. It also names the sibling it can replace (pubchem_get_compound_details) via the hydration option, so an agent can place it among siblings without opening the schema.

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?

Makes the when-to-use explicit for each mode ("up to 25 per call", "reach matches past maxResults with offset", "hydrate results with properties to avoid a follow-up pubchem_get_compound_details call"). It does not, however, state when to prefer a different sibling tool such as pubchem_search_assays for assay discovery — that link only appears in the schema.

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