TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and openWorldHint, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds that the content is 'public' and that the body is returned as 'paragraphs', which is useful, but says nothing about pagination, rate limits, or what happens with a non-canonical/invalid URL.

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?

Two sentences, zero filler, with the primary action front-loaded ahead of the sibling-routing tips. Every clause earns its place.

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?

For a single-URL fetch tool with an output schema handling return values and annotations covering safety, nothing an agent needs in order to call it correctly is missing.

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 coverage is 100% and the single parameter is already documented as 'Canonical Tom's Guide article URL'. The description merely repeats 'canonical url' without adding format or resolution guidance beyond the schema, so the baseline 3 applies.

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 concrete resource ('Tom's Guide article metadata and body paragraphs') scoped to a canonical URL. It clearly distinguishes itself from the sibling list/feed tools named later in the description.

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?

Names three alternatives and the condition each serves (headlines to find stories, sections to browse topics, news for the general feed), which routes the agent well. It implies but never explicitly states the trigger for this tool itself, i.e. 'use when you already have an article URL' — a small gap from a perfect 5.

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