TDQS

A3.9/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds the return-content scope (biography, board seats, compensation, share trades), which is useful, but it does not disclose additional behavioral traits such as error behavior or data freshness. No contradiction with annotations exists.

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?

The description is a single, front-loaded sentence that states the action, the resource, the lookup key, and the main content categories. There is no filler, redundancy, or unnecessary caveat.

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 simple two-parameter read-only tool with a full output schema and rich annotations, the description supplies everything an agent needs to invoke it correctly: the resource type, the identifier mechanism, and the scope of returned data. Missing items like explicit alternatives are not required for correct invocation.

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 both parameters and the slug example. The description only repeats the slug concept and lists returned fields, which maps loosely to the include parameter but adds little beyond the schema. A baseline 3 is 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 detailed profile for a specific director by slug.' It clearly distinguishes this singular detail endpoint from the plural listing tool get_directors and other director-related siblings by emphasizing the slug-based lookup and the included content areas (biography, board seats, compensation, share trades).

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 description implies usage: use this when you have a director slug and need a detailed single-director profile. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or name alternatives such as get_directors for listing directors. This is adequate but relies on inference.

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