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 carries the full burden. It only states 'Task text discarded' (which is confusing given no task parameter) and 'Returns connection methods.' It does not disclose network behavior, safety, rate limits, or how parameters are used. The parameter descriptions mention discarding after checks, but the tool description itself does not convey this.

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 a single sentence that front-loads the purpose and output. It is concise and free of filler, earning a high score for structure, though it lacks details that would make it more complete.

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?

This tool has 9 optional parameters and no output schema or annotations. The description does not explain how the parameters relate to the task types, what 'connection methods' means, or how the gateway is selected. It also fails to clarify the confusing 'Task text discarded' statement. For such a complex tool, the description is significantly under-specified.

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 of the 9 parameters is already described in the schema. The tool description adds no additional parameter semantics; it only mentions task types without mapping them to specific parameters. With full schema coverage, the baseline is 3, and the description doesn't exceed it.

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 clear purpose: finding a public pay-per-call tool gateway for tasks like weather, search, scrape, or voice, and mentions the output (connection methods). It is distinct from sibling tools that perform specific checks (e.g., browser-url-ok, calc-eval). However, the mention of 'Task text discarded' is confusing because there is no task text parameter, and the description doesn't clarify how the task is inferred.

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?

The description gives examples of tasks (weather, search, scrape, voice) that would trigger this tool, implying a use case. But it doesn't explicitly say when not to use it or mention alternatives among the many sibling tools. The guidance is implied but not formalized with exclusions or comparisons.

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