date_toNoEnd date/time to query (YYYY-MM-DD or ISO 8601 format). Defaults to 7 days from now. Alias: time_max.
date_fromNoStart date/time to query (YYYY-MM-DD or ISO 8601 format). Defaults to now. Alias: time_min.
account_idNoCalendar account to use when the workspace has several (Google or Outlook). OMIT to use the default one; every answer names the account and channel used.
calendar_idNoCalendar ID to list events from. OMIT to use the agent's configured default calendar (or primary).
max_resultsNoMaximum number of events to return.
in_workspaceNoRun this one call in this workspace id instead of the session's. Nothing is stored; other sessions are not affected.

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive behavior. The description adds only default upcoming/date-scope and provider context; it does not cover auth needs, pagination, rate limits, or return format, and the schema already documents the date defaults.

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 three short sentences, front-loaded with the core action and default behavior. Every sentence contributes to understanding the tool without repetition or filler.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Adequate for a read-only listing tool with a fully described schema and clear safety annotations. It does not route the agent to alternatives or describe returned event fields/pagination expectations, and there is no output schema to cover those 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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so all seven parameters are already documented in the input schema. The description groups date-range and search filtering at a high level but adds no syntax, constraints, or meaning beyond what the schema provides.

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 verb, 'List events', and resource, 'connected calendar (Google or Outlook)', with the default upcoming scope. It is clearly not a create/update/delete tool, though it does not explicitly name sibling alternatives such as calendar_check_availability.

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?

Implied usage is present through 'Shows upcoming events by default' and the date/search filter capabilities. However, it never states when to choose this tool over calendar_check_availability or other calendar tools.

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