xda_article

Read-only

Fetch public XDA article metadata and body paragraphs from a canonical URL. Use xda_headlines or xda_news to discover stories, or xda_author for byline details.

TDQS

A4/5.0

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description usefully adds that only 'public' content is returned and that both metadata and body paragraphs are included, but does not discuss return format, pagination, or failure modes for non-canonical URLs.

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, front-loaded with what is fetched, followed by routing guidance. No filler; every clause earns its place.

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 an output schema present, the description needn't explain return values, and annotations cover the safety profile, so it is nearly complete. It could be slightly stronger by clarifying the canonical-URL precondition, but nothing essential to correct invocation 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 description coverage is 100% and the single param is documented as a canonical XDA article URL. The description's phrase 'canonical URL' adds no syntax or format detail beyond the schema, so the baseline 3 for high-coverage single-param tools is appropriate.

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 (Fetch) plus resource (public XDA article metadata and body paragraphs) and scope (canonical URL). It explicitly contrasts with siblings xda_headlines, xda_news, and xda_author, so an agent can distinguish it without opening another 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?

It names the discovery alternatives (xda_headlines/xda_news) and the byline alternative (xda_author), implying this tool is for when a canonical article URL is already in hand. It gives clear context but never states the explicit precondition or exclusion (e.g., 'use only when you have a URL, not for search).'

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