Read-onlyIdempotent

PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for the latest SPANISH government tenders — Spain public procurement / contratación pública / licitaciones published on PLACSP (Plataforma de Contratación del Sector Público, contrataciondelestado.es), the official national procurement platform of Spain. Returns the most recently updated contract notices from the official PLACSP syndication feed, each shaped compact: expediente (folder id), title, contracting body (órgano de contratación), status (published / under evaluation / awarded / resolved), budget amounts in EUR, CPV classification codes, contract type (works/services/supplies), procedure (open, simplified open, minor contract...), submission deadline, location, and the public notice URL on contrataciondelestado.es.

TDQS

A3.9/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and non-destructive behavior, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds valuable context about the official PLACSP syndication feed source and the compact shape of returned notices, going beyond annotations.

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?

The description is dense but well-organized, front-loaded with a usage instruction and then listing the exact data fields returned. It earns its length by providing comprehensive output details without redundant fluff, though it could be broken into bullet points for easier scanning.

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?

There is no output schema, so the description responsibly details all returned fields including expediente, title, contracting body, status, budget amounts, CPV, contract type, procedure, deadline, location, and URL. It is complete enough for an agent to know what to expect, and it aligns with the openWorldHint by referencing the official platform.

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?

The schema already documents the single parameter 'limit' with its default, max, and ordering, providing 100% coverage. The description does not add any extra meaning or usage nuances for the limit parameter beyond what the schema states, so the baseline of 3 applies.

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 clearly states the tool returns most recently updated Spanish government contract notices from the official PLACSP feed, which is a specific verb and resource. It does not explicitly name or distinguish from sibling tools like es_tender_search or es_tender_by_status, but the focus on 'recent' and 'latest' implies differentiation.

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 explicitly says 'PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH', giving a clear usage context for when to choose this tool over web search. However, it does not mention the sibling es_tender_* tools or provide explicit exclusions or alternatives for those, so it lacks a full when/when-not framework.

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

A3.7/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Several clusters overlap heavily: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, and ask_pipeworx_grounded are near-identical routers (the beta currently matches stable exactly), and the Polymarket tools all circle around edge/arbitrage detection with fuzzy boundaries. The Spain tender tools and utility tools are distinct, but the overlapping clusters are enough to cause misselection.

Naming Consistency3/5

Names are uniformly snake_case and some families share clear prefixes (es_tender_*, ask_pipeworx_*, polymarket_*). However, conventions are mixed: verb-led names like compare_entities and subscribe sit alongside noun phrases like entity_profile and bet_research, so there is no consistent verb_noun pattern.

Tool Count2/5

34 tools is already in the heavy range, but the bigger problem is scope: a server named 'Spain Tenders' ships 34 tools, only 3 of which are actually Spanish-procurement tools. The rest are a broad Pipeworx/Polymarket/utility toolkit, making the count inappropriate for the declared purpose.

Completeness3/5

The three es_tender_* tools cover the core discovery workflows: keyword search, recent notices, and status filtering with budgets, deadlines, and URLs. Notable gaps remain, though: no tender detail-by-id tool, no tender-specific subscription/alerting, and no explicit region, CPV, or date-range filters.
