A3.9/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the behavioral burden. It discloses that task text is discarded and that the result is connection methods, which implies a read-only indexing operation, but it does not address whether invoking the tool has costs, auth requirements, rate limiting, or whether any network request is actually made. This leaves meaningful gaps for a 'pay-per-call' tool.

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?

The description is compact and front-loaded with the main purpose. Each sentence earns its place: one defines the operation, one states the output, and one warns about discarded task text. There is no wordy or redundant material.

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?

The description names the output type ('connection methods') but there is no output schema, and the tool has 9 optional parameters and no required ones. It does not explain the return shape, whether multiple methods can be returned, or how a caller should choose among parameters. The individual parameter descriptions cover inputs well, so the main missing context is on the return side and call selection behavior.

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 the individual parameters already carry useful semantics. The description adds the general frame that the inputs are task hints and that text is discarded, but it does not map specific task examples to the parameter names or clarify whether any particular parameter must be provided. This is adequate but not an improvement over the schema.

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 clearly states a specific action and resource: 'Find a public pay-per-call tool gateway'. It gives concrete task examples (weather, search, scrape, voice) and clarifies the result ('Returns connection methods'), which distinguishes it from the many sibling checker/hint tools.

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?

The description gives clear context for when the tool is appropriate by naming what it is for, and the phrase 'Task text discarded' is a useful warning not to pass natural-language task prose. It does not explicitly name alternatives or exclusions, but the use case is clearly implied rather than merely vague.

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