Destructive

This tool calls the Actor "rowfeed/google-play-scraper" and retrieves its output results. Actor description: Google Play app data by package name or URL, in any country: exact install count, rating, ratings histogram, price, in-app purchases, ads, genre, version, last update, developer. $0.50 per 1,000 apps.

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=true and openWorldHint=true; the description neither contradicts nor explains that write-capable profile (it presumably writes dataset items). It does add value the annotations lack: an explicit cost model of $0.50 per 1,000 apps, which is genuine behavioral context for deciding whether to run a large batch.

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?

Two sentences, no filler beyond the boilerplate Actor wrapper clause, and the concrete data payload and price are stated up front. The opening sentence is redundant filler that delays the useful content slightly.

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 needs no explanation; the description supplies the payload domain, geographic scope, and pricing, which covers what an agent needs to decide and call correctly. The remaining omission (sibling routing) is captured under usage guidelines.

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%, including detailed notes on waitSecs capping and country-level reads, so the schema carries the parameter burden. The description only echoes 'package name or URL, in any country' and adds no new constraints such as the 10,000 app/country pair ceiling or the 50-country limit.

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?

The description names the Actor and enumerates the exact resource returned: install count, rating, ratings histogram, price, IAPs, ads, genre, version, last update, developer. Paired with the 'Google Play app data by package name or URL' phrasing it clearly distinguishes this from the App Store sibling, though the generic first sentence ('calls the Actor and retrieves its output results') wastes the strongest opening slot.

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?

Usage is implied by the data scope ('package name or URL, in any country'), but there is no explicit when-to-use guidance and no routing to obvious alternatives such as rowfeed--apple-app-store-scraper for iOS or rowfeed--app-reviews-scraper for user reviews. The agent must infer boundaries from sibling names alone.

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