straitstimes_news

Read-only

Fetch The Straits Times top stories from the public feed; returns headline items from the general top-story stream. For a section-specific list, use straitstimes_headlines with a supported section slug. Use straitstimes_sections to discover section slugs. Use straitstimes_article with a returned article URL when you need one story's body.

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
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 genuinely useful context beyond the annotations: it is a public feed returning headline items from the general top-story stream. It doesn't discuss freshness/caching or item limits, but with annotations and an output schema present the bar is lower.

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?

Three sentences, zero waste, front-loaded with the primary action before the routing guidance. 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?

A no-param listing tool with annotations for safety and an output schema for return shape; the description covers purpose, scope, and sibling routing. 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.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Zero parameters, so there is nothing to document beyond the schema; baseline 4 applies. The description correctly frames the call as parameter-free.

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 ('Fetch ... top stories') and scopes it ('general top-story stream'), explicitly distinguishing it from straitstimes_headlines for section-specific lists. An agent can identify this without opening the 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: straitstimes_headlines for section lists, straitstimes_sections to discover slugs, and straitstimes_article for story bodies. The when-to-use and when-to-use-something-else conditions are all stated.

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