time_article

Read-only

Fetch public TIME article metadata and body paragraphs from a canonical url. Use time_headlines for story lists, time_sections to browse topics, or time_news for the general feed.

Tool call template

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
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 is public content requiring a canonical URL and that it returns body paragraphs, which is useful scope context, but it discloses nothing about auth, rate limits, or failure modes on non-canonical URLs. With annotations carrying the safety burden, a 3 is appropriate.

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 sentences with zero filler, front-loading what the tool returns 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?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be described, and the annotations cover the read-only/open-world safety profile. Purpose, input constraint, and sibling routing are all present, leaving nothing an agent needs to call this correctly.

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 coverage is 100% and the schema already documents the single url parameter as a 'Canonical TIME article URL'. The description repeats the canonical-URL constraint but adds no new syntax, format, or example beyond the schema, so the baseline of 3 applies.

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 (Fetch) and precise resource (public TIME article metadata and body paragraphs), plus the required input (canonical url). It explicitly distinguishes itself from time_headlines, time_sections, and time_news, so an agent can route 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 Guidelines4/5

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

Names the three sibling tools and the specific scenario each serves (story lists, topic browsing, general feed), which makes the alternative-selection decision clear. The condition for using THIS tool (having a canonical article URL) is implied by the first sentence rather than stated as an explicit 'use this when', so it falls just short of a 5.

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