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 profile is covered. The description adds that it retrieves byline profile, coverage topics, and recent article links, and that the URL must be canonical, but these are largely restatements of the schema and output schema. No additional behavioral traits such as rate limits, auth requirements, or pagination are disclosed.

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 tightly written sentences with zero waste. The primary purpose is front-loaded, and the alternative routing follows immediately.

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?

With an output schema present, the description need not explain return values, and it already covers the core purpose and sibling alternatives. For a simple one-parameter read-only tool, 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%, so the single 'url' parameter is fully documented in the input schema. The description's mention of 'canonical author URL' reinforces the schema but adds no new syntax or meaning beyond what is already provided.

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 ('This Is Money author's byline profile, coverage topics, and recent article links') and explicitly differentiates from siblings by naming thisismoney_article, thisismoney_headlines, and thisismoney_news. An agent can identify this tool's purpose 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 explicitly tells the agent when to use alternatives: 'Use thisismoney_article for one story's content or thisismoney_headlines and thisismoney_news for outlet feeds,' which implies this tool is for author profiles. No inference about alternatives is needed.

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