TDQS

B3.4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so safety and external-fetch behavior are covered. The description adds that the response includes 'body paragraphs' (i.e., full-text extraction) rather than just a stub, but omits rate limits, paywall behavior, auth requirements, or whether non-canonical URLs are rejected.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

One sentence, front-loaded with the verb and resource, no filler. Slightly terse given the surrounding ambiguity with other theverge_* tools, but efficient.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

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 need no explanation. With annotations covering safety and one well-documented parameter, the only real gap is routing guidance among the many sibling article/news/headlines tools, which the description does not provide.

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 parameter is fully documented as a canonical URL. The description repeats the 'canonical url' constraint but adds no format examples, slug conventions, or rejection behavior, so this is baseline.

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+resource: fetch metadata and body paragraphs for a The Verge article. Clear purpose, but the sibling set contains dozens of near-identical '<publication>_article' tools, so the name itself does the differentiation and the description adds no explicit sibling contrast beyond naming the publication.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Implies the caller must have a canonical The Verge article URL, but gives no guidance about when this tool is preferable to theverge_headlines, theverge_news, or theverge_sections, or what to do if the caller only has a headline rather than a URL.

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