C2.3/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only says 'Returns connection methods' and 'Task text discarded,' but it does not explain whether the tool makes network calls, whether inputs are validated only, what side effects exist, or how the 'connection methods' are structured. For a tool that likely interacts with external pay-per-call services, this is a significant gap.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness2/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single sentence and technically concise, but it is severely under-specified for a tool with 9 parameters and no other documentation. It omits critical context about parameter usage, return format, and behavior, so the brevity is not a virtue—it's a deficiency. The description is too short to earn a higher score on structure.

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

Completeness1/5

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

Given the tool has 9 parameters, no output schema, no annotations, and a complex purpose (finding pay-per-call gateways), the description is wholly inadequate. It doesn't explain what 'connection methods' are, how to select parameters, what validation occurs, or what the agent should do with the result. An agent would have no reliable way to call this tool correctly based on the description alone.

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 input schema has 100% coverage, with each parameter described individually (e.g., 'City name for a public weather hint'). The tool description adds little beyond the schema: it doesn't explain how parameters map to tasks like weather, search, or voice. However, the schema descriptions are already informative, so the description doesn't degrade semantics. Baseline 3 is appropriate since the schema does the heavy lifting.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose3/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a verb ('Find') and a resource ('public pay-per-call tool gateway') with examples of tasks (weather, search, scrape, voice), which gives a basic purpose. However, it doesn't clarify what a 'gateway' is or how the input parameters relate to the task, and it doesn't differentiate from the many sibling tools that handle specific tasks directly. The purpose is recognizable but vague.

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 mentions 'for a task such as weather, search, scrape, or voice' which hints at when to use it, but it provides no explicit guidance on when not to use it, what alternatives exist, or which parameters to provide for which task. There is no reference to sibling tools or exclusions, so an agent would have to guess how to invoke it correctly.

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