TDQS

A4.3/5.0
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 and open-world profile is covered. The description adds that the article content is 'public' (useful to know no auth is needed) and that it returns metadata plus body paragraphs, but it omits any rate-limit, pagination, or access-failure behavior. With annotations carrying the main behavioral load, a 3 is appropriate.

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, fully front-loaded with the primary purpose first and the routing instructions second. No filler, and 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-parameter read tool with annotations and an output schema, the description is complete. It states the source, what is returned, and how it relates to the sibling feed/headline/author tools, so 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 description coverage is 100% – the single parameter is documented as 'Canonical Evening Standard article URL'. The description merely repeats the word 'canonical' without adding format, validation, or example guidance, so the baseline of 3 is correct when the schema already 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?

The description states a specific verb (Fetch) and resource (public Evening Standard article metadata and body paragraphs) and explicitly names the sibling tools it is not (standard_headlines, standard_news, standard_author). An agent can distinguish it from those siblings 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?

It gives explicit routing: use standard_headlines to find stories, standard_news for the general feed, and standard_author for a byline profile, which implies this tool is for fetching a known article by URL. The condition for each alternative is stated, leaving nothing to inference.

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