  4. First observed

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover read-only/idempotent/non-destructive, so the bar is lower. The description adds a non-obvious behavioral fact: 'Only domains and pages are paged,' which tells the agent overview is not paginated. No auth/rate-limit context, but the paging asymmetry is meaningful added value.

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 clauses: what it is, then the three views, then the paging caveat. Front-loaded, zero filler, every sentence earns its place.

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, return-format details are unnecessary, and all 10 params are described in the schema. The view semantics and paging note round out the main ambiguities. Minor gap: no guidance on how 'influence' or 'source gaps' are computed, but that is arguably output-schema territory.

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 baseline is 3. The description goes beyond the enum by describing what each view returns (totals by ownership/source type, cited domains with gaps, pages ranked by influence) and clarifies paging applicability, which the schema alone does not convey.

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 ('sources AI answers cite for this brand's prompts') and enumerates the three views it can return, making the scope concrete. It doesn't name a sibling tool to differentiate against, but the citation-specific scope is unambiguous against list_answers/list_prompts/list_pages.

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?

Explains what each view is for – overview for ownership/source-type totals by week, domains for competitor source gaps, pages for influence ranking. That is genuine selection guidance for the main decision (which view). No explicit when-not-to-use or alternative tools are named.

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