B3.1/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavior. It mentions 'Task text discarded' but this is ambiguous because no parameter named 'task' exists. It does not state whether the tool makes external calls, its read-only nature, rate limits, or what happens to the other 9 parameters. Significant behavioral gaps remain.

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 concise at two sentences, with the purpose front-loaded. The 'Task text discarded' sentence is added value but is unclear, slightly dampening the clarity. Overall it remains tight and readable.

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

Completeness2/5

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

With 9 optional parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is incomplete. It does not explain how each parameter contributes to the gateway search, which parameters apply to which task type, or what 'connection methods' look like. An agent would struggle to correctly invoke this tool without additional guidance.

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 baseline is 3. The description adds task examples (weather, search, scrape, voice) that loosely map to parameters like city, query, etc., but does not explicitly connect them. The ambiguous 'Task text discarded' does not clarify which parameter is task text. Minimal added value over the schema.

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 states a specific verb ('Find') and resource ('public pay-per-call tool gateway'), with example tasks (weather, search, scrape, voice). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like weather-hint, which likely provide direct hints. However, it does not clarify what a 'tool gateway' is, leaving some ambiguity.

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?

It provides context on when to use ('for a task such as weather, search, scrape, or voice') but does not explicitly state exclusions or alternatives. There is no mention of when not to use it or reference to sibling tools, leaving the usage guidance implied rather than explicit.

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