clause

Read-onlyIdempotent

Use this when someone asks what a specific UDCPR regulation or table says. Returns the UDCPR text of a regulation or table by its number, such as '6.2.6', '11.2.4' or 'Table 6-G'.

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, closed-world). The description adds that it returns clause text, but says nothing about behavior on a missing/invalid ref, output format, or size limits. Adequate given annotation coverage, but 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 tight sentences with the usage trigger front-loaded. Efficient, though the second sentence's examples are redundant with the schema, costing a bit of value.

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?

For a single-parameter lookup with no output schema, the description tells the agent what the tool does and when to reach for it. Only edge-case behavior (unknown ref) is left unstated, which is a minor gap.

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% and there is a single well-documented parameter. The description merely repeats the same example refs ('6.2.6', '11.2.4', 'Table 6-G') already in the schema, adding no new meaning. Baseline 3 applies.

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+resource: returns UDCPR regulation/table text by number. This clearly distinguishes it from broader siblings like search_udcpr, though it never names a sibling explicitly. Purpose is unambiguous.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Front-loaded trigger: 'Use this when someone asks what a specific UDCPR regulation or table says.' Gives a clear when-to-use context, but does not name alternatives (search_udcpr, fetch) or state when NOT to use it.

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