TDQS

A3.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already establish readOnly/openWorld/non-destructive, so the bar is lower; the description still adds substantive behavior: page size of 20, latest-transactions-only ordering, entity lookups aggregating across wallets, and a 7-day clamp. It does not mention rate limits or pagination exhaustion, but the added context is well beyond the 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.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Four short sentences, front-loaded with the core action and result size, then the parameter rule and the entity caveat. Slight redundancy with schema text ('covers at most 7 days') but nothing wasted.

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?

An output schema exists, so return shape needn't be explained; the description covers the essentials an agent needs — result cap, recency, mutually exclusive selectors, entity aggregation and date clamping. Minor gaps like chain selection are already handled in the 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 baseline is 3. The description's statements about address/entity_id exclusivity and the 7-day entity window largely restate what the nested schema already documents, so it adds little new parameter meaning.

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 list of ... transactions') plus a precise scope (20 most recent per page, address or entity). It is distinguishable from siblings like address_counterparties or transaction_lookup by the recency/list framing, though it never names an alternative explicitly.

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 gives a real constraint — 'Provide exactly one of `address` or `entity_id`' — and notes the entity path spans all wallets with a 7-day cap, which is genuine usage guidance. It gives no when-to-use vs when-not guidance relative to sibling tools such as address_dex_trades or transaction_lookup, leaving the agent to infer selection.

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