C2.6/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations are absent, so the description must carry behavioral disclosure. It notes 'Task text discarded' (indicating inputs are not retained) and 'Returns connection methods' but gives no detail on side effects, safety (read-only assumption not stated), or what 'connection methods' actually contain. For a meta-tool with no annotation support, this is thin.

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?

Two concise sentences, with the core action stated first and the note about text discarding front-loaded. No wasted words, though the second sentence could be expanded with minimal prose. Overall, efficient and structured.

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 27 sibling tools, the description is under-specified. It does not explain what 'connection methods' are, how to interpret the result, or how this gateway relates to the sibling tools. An agent cannot reliably decide when to call this tool or understand its response. More context is needed for a tool of this complexity.

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 each parameter has a description. The tool description adds little beyond that—it mentions task types and 'Task text discarded' but does not explain how the parameters (e.g., city, query, host) relate to the tool's operation. Baseline 3 is appropriate since the schema already documents each attribute.

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), and lists example task types (weather, search, scrape, voice). However, 'connection methods' is vague and does not clearly differentiate this tool from its many siblings, which are specific utilities like weather-hint or search-query-len. The purpose is somewhat clear but not sharp enough.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description mentions tasks like weather, search, scrape, or voice, but does not state when not to use it or point to sibling tools that might be more appropriate. An agent has no heuristic to decide between this and the listed siblings.

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