Tool Definition Quality
Average 4.1/5 across 11 of 11 tools scored. Lowest: 3.5/5.
Each tool targets a distinct operation in the marketplace workflow—searching providers, requesting quotes, submitting quotes, etc.—with no overlapping responsibilities. The design clearly separates actions by user role (requester vs. provider) and workflow stage.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case (e.g., accept_quote, get_category_pricing), making it easy to predict functionality from the name alone.
11 tools cover the essential operations of a service marketplace without unnecessary redundancy. Each tool has a clear purpose, and the count feels balanced for the scope of the server.
The tool surface comprehensively covers the core lifecycle: service discovery (list_categories, search_providers), pricing information (get_category_pricing, get_earnings_estimate), quote request/response (request_quote, submit_quote, accept_quote), and user/provider management (get_my_requests, list_inbound_requests, message_provider, get_provider_details).
Available Tools
11 toolsaccept_quoteGet accept-quote deep linkARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Look up a quote and return a deep link to the Tewdy app where the user can confirm acceptance and proceed to payment. This tool deliberately does not accept or pay — quote acceptance and payment confirmation always happen on tewdy.com via the deep link, not in chat. Requires authentication.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| quote_id | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true. The description adds behavioral context: that the tool returns a deep link and does not perform actual acceptance or payment, and that authentication is required. No contradictions with annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is exceptionally concise: two sentences that front-load the purpose and key behavioral notes. Every sentence adds value with no redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description covers purpose, usage boundary, and authentication requirement. It lacks details on return format or error handling, but is largely complete given the tool's narrow scope.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%; the description only mentions 'look up a quote' without explaining the 'quote_id' parameter's meaning or where to obtain it. Given the lack of parameter description in the schema, the description should have provided more detail about the parameter.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: look up a quote and return a deep link for acceptance and payment. It distinguishes itself from siblings by explicitly stating it does not accept or pay, which is critical for an agent to select the correct tool.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides guidance that acceptance and payment happen on tewdy.com, not in chat, and states 'Requires authentication'. However, it does not explicitly contrast with alternative tools like 'submit_quote' or 'request_quote', leaving room for ambiguity in when to use this tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_category_pricingGet category pricingARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Get aggregated price ranges for a service category, optionally filtered by location. Prefers transacted prices (accepted quotes) when at least 5 samples exist; otherwise falls back to listed (asking) prices from provider capability pricing. Returns median, p25, p75, min, max, sample size, and currency.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| category | Yes | ||
| currency | No | ||
| location | No |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description adds behavioral context beyond the annotations (readOnlyHint, idempotentHint). It reveals the fallback logic between transacted and listed prices, and lists the returned statistics. No contradiction with annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences with no filler. It front-loads the core purpose and immediately follows with behavioral details. Every sentence adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, the description enumerates return values (median, p25, p75, min, max, sample size, currency). It covers the main behavioral nuance (data source fallback). Missing details like default currency or behavior with no data are minor omissions.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It clarifies that 'location' is optional and describes the type of output (median, p25, p75, etc.). However, it does not mention the 'currency' parameter, leaving its role unclear.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Get aggregated price ranges for a service category, optionally filtered by location.' It uses a specific verb ('Get') and resource ('aggregated price ranges'), which distinguishes it from sibling tools like accept_quote or get_provider_details.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides implicit usage guidance by explaining the data source preference ('Prefers transacted prices... otherwise falls back to listed prices'). However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_earnings_estimateEstimate earningsARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Estimate weekly and monthly earnings for a Tewdy provider in a given category. Uses listed hourly rates from existing providers as the baseline and projects earnings under three utilisation scenarios (40%/60%/80%). Returns ranges, not guarantees.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| category | Yes | ||
| currency | No | ||
| location | No | ||
| hours_per_week | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Beyond annotations (readOnlyHint, idempotentHint), the description adds key behavioral details: uses existing provider rates, projects under three utilisation scenarios (40%/60%/80%), and returns ranges not guarantees. No contradiction with annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, front-loaded with purpose. Every sentence earns its place: first states what it does, second adds methodology and output behavior. No unnecessary words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, the description covers the core idea and behavioral notes (ranges, scenarios). However, it lacks details on response format or additional constraints. Adequate but could be more complete for a 4-parameter tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema has 0% description coverage. The description mentions 'category' and 'hours_per_week' implicitly but does not explain 'currency' or 'location' parameters. It adds some meaning (utilisation scenarios based on hours) but insufficient for full parameter understanding.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly specifies the verb 'Estimate' and the resource 'earnings for a Tewdy provider in a given category'. It distinguishes from siblings like get_category_pricing or search_providers by focusing on earnings estimation with utilisation scenarios.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives (e.g., get_category_pricing). The description implies usage for earnings estimates but doesn't mention when not to use or name alternative tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_my_requestsList my quote requestsARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
List the authenticated user's quote requests with current status (open / closed / cancelled / expired) and quote-response counts. Read-only — no state changes. Requires authentication.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | ||
| offset | No | ||
| status | No | ||
| sort_by | No | ||
| sort_order | No |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Adds 'Read-only' matching readOnlyHint and idempotentHint, plus 'Requires authentication' beyond annotations (which do not cover auth). Consistent and useful, though no mention of pagination behavior or rate limits.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two concise sentences, front-loaded with action and output details. No wasted words, efficient communication.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Covers purpose, status options, and auth requirement. No output schema but returns counts. Lacks detail on pagination/sorting behavior, but enums in schema provide hints. Adequate for a read-only list tool with good annotations.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema has 0% description coverage; description only lists the status values (open/closed/cancelled/expired) but does not explain limit, offset, sort_by, or sort_order. Minimal compensation for the gap.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description uses specific verb 'List' and resource 'authenticated user's quote requests' with attached statuses and counts. Clearly distinguishes from siblings like 'list_inbound_requests' (lists requests for the provider).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
States conditions: 'Read-only — no state changes' and 'Requires authentication.' Provides clear context when to use, but does not explicitly mention when not to use or suggest alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_provider_detailsGet provider detailsARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Look up the full public profile for a Tewdy provider. Accepts either a Tewdy UUID (returned by search_providers as id) or a tewdyTag handle (e.g. "marcus-chen", returned as tewdyTag). Returns name, jobTitle, bio, profile picture, languages, capability pricing, ratings, verification status, and tewdyTag.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| provider_id | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate read-only and idempotent behavior. The description adds that it returns a full public profile with listed fields, which is helpful but doesn't disclose additional behavioral constraints.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences with no fluff. Every word adds value: input types, return fields, example of tewdyTag format. Highly efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Single parameter is fully described with input types and source. No output schema needed as return fields are listed. Annotations cover safety. Complete for a lookup tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Despite 0% schema description coverage, the description explains that provider_id can be a UUID or tewdyTag and tells where to obtain them (search_providers). This compensates for the schema gap.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states the tool looks up the full public profile for a Tewdy provider, giving specific input types (UUID or tewdyTag) and listing return fields. This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like search_providers.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description specifies inputs and purpose. While it doesn't explicitly say when not to use, the context and sibling names imply use when you have a provider ID or tag. Slightly implicit but adequate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_categoriesList service categoriesARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
List the service categories Tewdy supports (plumbing, translation, tutoring, cleaning, etc.). Returns slug, name, description, and businessType for each. Use this to map a free-text user request to a known category before calling search_providers. Optional business_type filter (e.g. "individual", "company").
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| business_type | No |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already provide readOnly, openWorldHint, idempotent hints. Description adds that it returns slug, name, description, businessType, and optional filter, beyond annotations.

Two sentences, front-loaded with purpose, includes examples, no wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
No output schema, but description covers return fields. Explains workflow integration. Parameter explained with examples. Complete for a simple list tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema has one param with no description; description adds 'Optional business_type filter (e.g. 'individual', 'company')' providing examples and context.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states it lists service categories with examples (plumbing, translation, etc.) and distinguishes from siblings by mentioning integration with search_providers.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly tells when to use: 'Use this to map a free-text user request to a known category before calling search_providers.' Also notes optional filter.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_inbound_requestsList inbound work for meARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
For the authenticated provider, list open quote requests that match the provider's capabilities and service area. Optional filters: category, location radius, budget range, urgency. Read-only. Use this to find work to quote on. Requires authentication.

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description states 'Read-only' and 'Requires authentication,' which adds context beyond the readOnlyHint and idempotentHint annotations. It does not contradict annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Three concise sentences with front-loaded purpose. Every sentence provides value, no fluff.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description gives essential context but lacks details on pagination (limit/offset), how location coordinates work with radius, and default ordering. Incomplete for a list tool with 9 optional parameters.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It only mentions 'category, location radius, budget range, urgency' as optional filters, omitting lat, lng, limit, offset. It adds some meaning but is incomplete for 9 parameters.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action 'list open quote requests' for the authenticated provider, with specific context about matching capabilities and service area. It distinguishes from siblings like 'submit_quote' and 'get_my_requests' by indicating this is for finding work to quote on.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
It explicitly advises to 'Use this to find work to quote on,' giving clear context for when to use the tool. However, it does not specify when not to use it or provide alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
message_providerSend a message in an existing threadAInspect
Send a chat message into an existing Tewdy thread (typically created when a quote was submitted or accepted). The chat_id is the same id surfaced by get_my_requests or accept_quote. Requires authentication.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| text | Yes | ||
| chat_id | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already convey that this is not read-only (readOnlyHint=false) and not destructive (destructiveHint=false). The description adds that authentication is required and implies the thread must exist, but lacks details on success/failure responses or idempotency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences, front-loaded with the primary action, and contains no redundant information. Every sentence adds value: purpose, thread context, parameter hint, and authentication requirement.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the absence of an output schema and simple parameters, the description covers the core functionality, parameter sourcing, and authentication. However, it omits potential error conditions, return value (e.g., confirmation), or rate limits, leaving gaps for an agent.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description partially compensates by explaining chat_id's origin (from get_my_requests or accept_quote). However, the text parameter is not elaborated beyond being a message, missing constraints like maxLength=4000 and minLength=1.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action: 'Send a chat message into an existing Tewdy thread.' It identifies the resource (chat thread) and provides context about how threads are created, making the purpose specific and distinct from sibling tools like request_quote or submit_quote.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explains where to obtain the chat_id (from get_my_requests or accept_quote), offering some guidance. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it provide when-not-to-use conditions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
request_quoteRequest a quoteAIdempotentInspect
Compose a Tewdy quote request from the user's description. Returns a deep link to the Tewdy app with all fields pre-filled; the user reviews and clicks publish to actually post the request. This tool deliberately does not auto-post — quote acceptance and payment confirmation always happen on tewdy.com via deep link, never in chat. Requires authentication.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| urgency | No | ||
| category | No | ||
| currency | No | ||
| budget_max | No | ||
| budget_min | No | ||
| description | Yes | ||
| location_name | No | ||
| preferred_date | No |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Description adds value beyond annotations by explaining the non-auto-posting behavior and the deep-link return. Annotations already indicate idempotentHint=true and destructiveHint=false, and description aligns with these.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Three sentences, front-loaded with core purpose, followed by key behavioral details. Slightly verbose but clear and efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Does not detail return value structure (deep link contents) or error handling. No output schema, so missing information for agent to handle responses. Adequate for basic use but incomplete for complex scenarios.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, so description must compensate, but it only refers to 'user's description' and 'all fields pre-filled' without explaining individual parameter semantics. Parameter names are self-explanatory to some extent, but no added guidance for constraints or usage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states the tool composes a quote request and returns a deep link. Distinguishes from siblings like accept_quote and submit_quote by noting that it does not auto-post.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly states when to use (compose request) and when not to (no auto-post, actions happen on tewdy.com). Also mentions authentication requirement, providing clear context for appropriate invocation.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
search_providersSearch providersARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Search Tewdy for service providers (plumbers, translators, tutors, cleaners, etc.) by category and/or location. Returns a ranked list including name, rating, response time, and Tewdy profile tag.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate readOnly, openWorld, and idempotent. The description adds value by specifying the return fields (name, rating, response time, profile tag). No contradictions.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, no wasted words. The first sentence covers the action and criteria, the second covers output. Perfectly concise.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
No output schema, but description lists return fields. However, lacks details on pagination, default limit, ranking, or how parameters interact. Adequate but not comprehensive.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description only hints parameters via 'by category and/or location' but fails to explain parameters like query, limit, or coordinates individually. This is insufficient.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action 'search' for 'service providers' with criteria 'by category and/or location'. It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like accept_quote or get_provider_details.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for finding providers by category/location. It does not explicitly state when not to use or mention alternatives, but the sibling tools are distinct enough that the purpose is clear.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
submit_quoteSubmit a quote on a requestAInspect
Submit a quote on an open quote request. The provider sets the estimated price, optional duration and availability, and a short message to the requester. The quote is not a financial commitment — the requester still has to accept (which itself goes through a deep-link confirmation on tewdy.com). Requires authentication.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| message | Yes | ||
| currency | Yes | ||
| business_id | No | ||
| provider_type | Yes | ||

| terms_conditions | No | ||
| availability_date | No | ||
| estimated_duration | No |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Beyond annotations (all false), the description adds that the quote is not a final commitment and that acceptance requires a deep-link. It also requires authentication. It does not disclose potential side effects like overwriting previous quotes or error conditions.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise with four sentences, front-loaded with the primary action. Every sentence adds value without redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite no output schema, the description lacks information about the immediate result of submission (e.g., a quote ID). It also does not explain constraints like max lengths or enumeration for provider_type, which are in the schema but not described.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description mentions only estimated_price, estimated_duration, availability_date, and message, omitting critical parameters like business_id, terms_conditions, and provider_type. It does not fully compensate for the lack of schema descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Submit a quote') and the resource ('on an open quote request'). It distinguishes from siblings like accept_quote and request_quote by focusing on provider submission.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explains the context (open quote request) and what the provider does. It clarifies that the quote is not a financial commitment and requires authentication. However, it does not explicitly name alternative tools or provide 'when not to use' guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
