TDQS

B3.3/5.0

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, openWorldHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is fully covered. The description adds that results include images, genres, and upcoming event counts, which is mildly useful, but it omits pagination behavior, rate limits, or auth requirements. Given the annotation coverage and the existing output schema, a 3 is appropriate.

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?

A single, well-structured sentence that front-loads the verb and resource, then lists the return contents. No filler, no repetition, and the most important information (what it searches and what it returns) comes first.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With annotations, a 100% schema coverage, and an output schema, the description covers the essentials for a basic search call. However, it is incomplete for routing in a toolset containing 'performer' and 'performer_by_slug', and it says nothing about pagination defaults or result limits. Adequate but with clear gaps.

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 all five parameters (q, page, slug, per_page, taxonomies.name) are already documented in the schema. The description only loosely maps 'name or genre' to q and taxonomies.name, adding no syntax or format detail beyond what the schema provides. Baseline 3 applies when the schema carries the parameter burden.

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 ('Search') and resource ('SeatGeek performers') with clarifying examples (artists, teams, comedians) and the search dimensions (name, genre). It is clearly a list/search operation, but it never names or contrasts with the sibling tools 'performer' or 'performer_by_slug', so the agent must infer which of the three to call.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description says what can be searched by but offers no when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites, and no mention of the alternatives 'performer' or 'performer_by_slug'. The agent is left to infer that this is the multi-result search endpoint versus the single-entity siblings.

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