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, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered by structured data. The description adds one genuine behavioral constraint beyond that — the mandatory location input — but says nothing about result ranking, pagination, or the semantics of the 40+ soft 'prefers_*' hints versus hard 'requires_*' filters.

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?

Two sentences, zero waste, and the purpose is front-loaded ahead of the precondition. '40+ filters' efficiently conveys the breadth of the schema without enumerating it.

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 100% schema description coverage, an existing output schema, and annotations covering the read-only/open-world profile, the description only needs to supply purpose and the binding input constraint — both are present. Minor gap: it does not clarify the distinction between soft preference flags and hard requirement flags, which matters at this parameter count.

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, but the description contributes a cross-parameter rule the schema cannot express: that at least one of near_location, campground_name, latitude+longitude, or states is mandatory despite all 49 parameters being optional. It also groups the filter space into location/amenities/activities/community safety, giving an agent a map of an otherwise overwhelming schema.

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 states a specific verb and resource ('Search for campgrounds') and characterizes the filter surface ('40+ filters including location, amenities, activities, and community safety'), which separates it from siblings like get_campground_details and find_similar_campgrounds. It stops short of explicitly naming a sibling it is not, so it lands at clear-but-undifferentiated.

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?

It states a hard precondition that an agent must satisfy — 'Requires at least one location constraint: near_location, campground_name, latitude+longitude, or states' — which is exactly the kind of usage rule that prevents a failed call. It does not, however, say when to prefer this tool over alternatives such as get_campground_details or find_similar_campgrounds.

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