B3.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

The description discloses that task text is discarded, which is a useful behavioral note. With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden, but it does not mention side effects, permissions, or that this is a read-only operation. It adds some context but not comprehensive behavioral disclosure.

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 a single sentence that front-loads the purpose and ends with a relevant behavioral note about discarding task text. There is no filler, making it highly efficient.

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?

The tool has 9 optional parameters covering diverse tasks, but the description does not explain how they map to the stated tasks or what 'connection methods' concretely means. With no output schema, the agent gets no guidance on the return format or how to interpret results, leaving significant gaps.

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?

The schema has 100% description coverage for all 9 parameters, so the tool description adds no additional parameter semantics. Per the rubric, a baseline of 3 is appropriate when the schema already documents each parameter well.

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 it returns connection methods. It does not explicitly contrast with sibling tools, but the purpose is distinct enough given the examples.

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?

It provides examples of tasks but no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance, and no alternatives among the 28 sibling tools are named. An agent would have to infer when this is the right tool versus, say, weather-hint or search-query-len.

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