upwork_freelancer

Read-only

Returns a normalized Upwork freelancer profile: name, title, verification badge, overview, hourly rate, rating and review count, Job Success Score, location and local time, total jobs/hours worked, and recent client feedback (title, comment, date, client name, rating). Public data sourced from Upwork's own server-rendered profile pages via a real browser-rendering backend. Use upwork_job to get Upwork job posting detail.

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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 real value beyond that by disclosing the data provenance ('public data sourced from Upwork's server-rendered profile pages via a real browser-rendering backend'), implying no auth and a scraping backend. It does not mention rate limits or latency, so not 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.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loaded with the core verb+resource, and the field enumeration, provenance note, and sibling pointer each add something. The long field list is somewhat redundant given an output schema exists, keeping it from a 5.

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 read tool with an output schema and safety annotations, the description covers purpose, provenance, and routing. Return-value explanation is technically unnecessary given the output schema, but nothing an agent needs 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 ID parameter is fully documented in the schema, including where to find the value. The description adds no parameter-level detail, so the baseline 3 applies when the schema does the work.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Returns a normalized Upwork freelancer profile') and enumerates exactly what the profile contains. It also differentiates the sibling it is not ('Use upwork_job to get Upwork job posting detail'), so an agent can route correctly without opening a schema.

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 the alternative tool (upwork_job) for a distinct use case, and the ID parameter steers the agent to upwork_search for discovery. There is clear positive context but no explicit 'when not to use' or the full workflow spelled out, so it falls short of a 5.

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