A3.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already establish readOnlyHint and openWorldHint, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds real behavioral context beyond them: the data comes from a public RSS feed, results are capped at 30 items, and each entry carries a URL and feed summary — all useful for setting agent expectations.

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?

A single efficient sentence that front-loads the action and the result cap and omits all filler. Every clause carries information an agent needs.

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?

A no-parameter tool with an output schema already documenting the return shape, so the description only needs to convey source, scope and cap — which it does. It omits feed refresh cadence and whether results are ordered by recency, a minor gap for a news tool.

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 there is nothing for the description to compensate for; the baseline for a parameterless tool applies. The description correctly describes the implicit 'current/latest' filtering that stands in for parameters.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb (fetch), a bounded resource (up to 30 current Blaze Media stories), the delivery channel (its public RSS feed) and the payload (article URLs and feed summaries). It is clearly distinguishable from a single-article tool, though it never names its closest siblings such as theblaze_headlines.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance is given. The agent is left to infer that this is the 'latest news' tool and must guess how it relates to theblaze_headlines or theblaze_sections, which are equally plausible sources for current stories.

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