sun_news

Read-only

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

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 that content comes from a 'public feed' and that results are 'headline items from the general top-story stream', which is useful sourcing/scope context. It stops short of pagination or volume details, but the annotation coverage lowers that burden.

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?

Four tight sentences, each earning its place, with the primary purpose front-loaded ahead of the routing guidance. No filler or restatement of the title.

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?

An output schema exists so return fields needn't be explained, and the description fully covers the routing decision among sun_headlines, sun_sections, and sun_article. Nothing an agent needs to call this 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?

The tool takes zero parameters, so the baseline is 4. There is nothing to document and the description does not need to compensate for any schema gap.

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 The Sun top stories') and immediately scopes it to 'the general top-story stream'. It explicitly distinguishes itself from siblings sun_headlines (section-specific) and sun_article (single body), 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 Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Gives explicit when-to-use alternatives: sun_headlines for section lists, sun_sections to discover slugs, sun_article for a story body. The routing conditions are concrete and leave little to inference.

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