  4. First observed

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations carry only a title, so the description bears the full burden. The verb 'Fetch' signals a read-only, non-destructive lookup and the description enumerates what is returned, but it says nothing about behavior when the plugin is unknown, response size, or any rate/auth constraints.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence that names the action, the key input, and the payload. No filler, no redundancy with the schema or title.

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?

With a full output schema and 100% covered parameters, the description only needs to justify why an agent would call this tool, which it does. Its one gap is routing guidance relative to the three sibling tools, which it leaves to inference.

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 the schema already documents all four parameters including the vendor/package format and the three opt-in booleans. The description adds only a light grouping of those flags into returned content categories, so the baseline of 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 and resource (fetch detailed information for a plugin) and specifies the identifier (vendor/package name), which distinguishes it from the search-oriented siblings. It does not explicitly name those siblings, but the singular-lookup framing is clear enough for an agent to separate it from search tools.

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?

Usage is implied rather than stated: the tool takes a full package name, so an agent can infer it is the follow-up to a search that already produced an identifier. There is no explicit when-to-use, no exclusions, and no mention that search-plugin-tool should be used first to discover the package name.

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