thenextweb_news

Read-only

Fetch current The Next Web top stories from its public RSS feed; returns headline items from the general top-story stream. For a section-specific list, use thenextweb_headlines with a supported section slug. Use thenextweb_sections to discover section slugs. Use thenextweb_article with a returned article URL when you need one story's body.

A4.7/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so safety and external-liveness are covered. The description adds real context beyond them: the data originates from a public RSS feed and the stream is limited to general top stories rather than sections. It does not mention freshness cadence or pagination, keeping it short of a 5.

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?

Four compact sentences, none wasted: it states what is fetched, the source, the scope limit, then three routing pointers. The core purpose is front-loaded before the sibling guidance.

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

Completeness5/5

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

With an output schema present, the description need not describe return values, and it supplies exactly the missing piece an agent needs (the general-stream scope plus sibling routing). Nothing required to call it correctly is absent.

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?

Zero parameters, so per the rubric the baseline is 4. The description correctly adds nothing about inputs because there are none, and the article-URL mention refers to sibling-tool inputs rather than this tool's own schema.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Specific verb (fetch) plus resource (The Next Web top stories) and the exact scope (general top-story stream from the public RSS feed). An agent can distinguish this from thenextweb_headlines, thenextweb_sections and thenextweb_article without opening any schema.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly routes to alternatives: thenextweb_headlines for a section-specific list, thenextweb_sections to discover slugs, and thenextweb_article for one story's body. This is a clear when-to-use-which map, not just implied context.

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