TDQS

A3.7/5.0

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is known. The description adds the behavioral requirement of a location constraint, which is useful context beyond annotations. It does not describe result characteristics or pagination, but the output schema fills that gap.

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 two sentences and immediately tells the agent what the tool does and a key requirement. It is front-loaded and contains zero filler, making it highly concise.

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?

Given the tool's complexity (48 parameters), the description covers the essential constraint and filter categories, while the schema details all parameters and the output schema presumably describes return values. It could mention pagination or default limit behavior, but these are in the schema, so the context is adequately complete.

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% with every parameter having a description, so the baseline is 3. The description adds a cross-parameter rule that at least one location constraint is mandatory, which is not obvious from individual parameter descriptions. This adds valuable semantic information.

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 uses a specific verb 'Search' and resource 'campgrounds', and mentions '40+ filters' which conveys the broad search capability. It doesn't explicitly contrast with siblings like find_similar_campgrounds, but the filter emphasis implies a comprehensive search tool, making the purpose clear.

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?

It provides an explicit usage prerequisite: 'Requires at least one location constraint: near_location, latitude+longitude, or states.' This is important for correct invocation. However, there is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like find_similar_campgrounds or get_campground_details, so the sibbling-differentiation aspect is missing.

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

A4.1/5.0

Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have clearly distinct purposes (search, details, availability, weather, etc.), but build_packing_list and get_gear_for_campground both deal with gear recommendations, and check_safety overlaps with the safety section in get_campground_details. However, the descriptions are detailed enough for an agent to choose correctly.

Naming Consistency4/5

Tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (build_, calculate_, check_, compare_, find_, get_, prepare_, search_) with the exception of health_check, which reverses the order and breaks the pattern. This is a minor deviation.

Tool Count5/5

13 tools is well-scoped for a comprehensive outdoor trip planning server, covering search, details, availability, weather, safety, gear, and reservations without being excessive or sparse.

Completeness5/5

The server provides end-to-end coverage for planning a camping trip: search and filter campgrounds, get rich details, check availability, prepare reservations, evaluate safety, weather, drive times, gear recommendations, and packing lists. The only missing capability (direct booking) is intentionally excluded due to operator restrictions.
