TDQS

A3.8/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint. Description adds return format ('matching developments with descriptions and sources') but no additional behavioral details like pagination or rate limits. No contradiction with annotations.

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?

Single sentence, front-loaded with action and scope, no fluff. Every word earns its place.

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?

Description covers what, how, and what is returned. Annotations and output schema (exists) fill remaining gaps. Could mention the database source is dynamic (implied by openWorldHint), but complete enough.

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 covers both parameters (query, limit) with descriptions. The description adds context about the search domain (new tools, APIs, etc.) beyond the schema, but the examples are also in schema. Minimal added value, but adequate.

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 explicitly states the verb 'Search' and the resource 'new tools, APIs, MCP servers, and frameworks' by keyword, distinguishing it from sibling tools like 'deep_research' or 'discover_tools' that have different scopes.

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?

Description gives example queries but no explicit guidance on when to use this vs. alternative tools. With many sibling tools, context is implied but not stated.

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

A3.6/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Many tools have overlapping purposes, such as multiple tools for querying Pipeworx data (ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research, validate_claim) and numerous tools for AI news/tools (get_ai_news, get_ai_toolbelt, get_briefing, get_model_landscape, etc.). This will cause an agent to frequently misselect the appropriate tool.

Naming Consistency4/5

Most tools follow a verb_noun pattern in snake_case (e.g., compare_entities, discover_tools, get_briefing). However, a few deviate like 'bet_research' (noun_verb) and 'what_happened' (phrase), but overall the pattern is largely consistent.

Tool Count2/5

38 tools is excessive for a server called 'Ai Briefing', which suggests a focused purpose. The tool count spans multiple domains (AI visibility, Pipeworx queries, Polymarket betting, memory, subscriptions) making it feel overstuffed and unfocused.

Completeness3/5

The tool set covers many aspects of its broad domain (querying, comparing, subscribing, memory), but there are notable gaps: no tool for modifying subscriptions, no user profile management, and the AI news tools overlap rather than cover distinct needs.
