tmz_news

Read-only

Fetch TMZ top stories from the public feed; returns headline items from the general top-story stream. For a section-specific list, use tmz_headlines with a supported section slug. Use tmz_article with a returned article URL when you need one story's body.

A4.5/5.0
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 useful context by calling the feed 'public' (implying no auth) and describing the returned content type ('headline items'), but says nothing about rate limits or pagination. With annotations carrying the safety burden, this modest added context merits a 3.

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?

Three tight sentences, zero waste, front-loaded with the primary action before the routing cues. Every sentence 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?

With an output schema present, return values need no explanation, and a no-param feed tool needs only the scope and sibling routing the description supplies. Nothing required 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.

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 disambiguate and the baseline of 4 applies. The description correctly implies no inputs are required.

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 resource ('TMZ top stories from the public feed'), plus the precise scope ('general top-story stream'). It distinguishes itself from both tmz_headlines (section-specific) and tmz_article (single story body), so an agent can select it 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?

Explicit routing: use tmz_headlines with a section slug for section lists, and tmz_article with a returned URL for one story's body. The when-to-use and the alternatives are both named, leaving nothing to inference.

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