B3.4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

The description mentions 'Task text discarded' and parameter descriptions note values are discarded after shape checks and that path has no disk access. However, without annotations, more disclosure about side effects, cost implications, or exact behavior would be needed.

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 short and direct, and parameter descriptions are terse. No unnecessary words or fluff.

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 tool lacks an output schema and does not explain how the task is determined from the optional inputs, what 'connection methods' means, or what the returned structure looks like. This leaves some gaps for an agent planning to invoke it.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

All 9 parameters have schema descriptions, and the descriptions add meaningful context beyond the names by clarifying that values are discarded after shape checks or that no disk access occurs. This is valuable because the parameter names alone could imply real usage.

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?

States a specific purpose: find a public pay-per-call tool gateway for tasks like weather, search, scrape, or voice, and returns connection methods. The phrase 'tool gateway' is slightly ambiguous but the overall intent is clear.

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 sibling tools such as weather-hint, normalize-url, or search-query-len. It does not explain selection criteria or alternative conditions.

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