TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already establish a read-only, idempotent, non-destructive profile, so the description only needs to add context beyond that. It discloses that results are 'cheapest live offer' with discount and store-declared MSFS compatibility, which are useful behavioral caveats. No contradiction.

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 that front-load the search scope and then explain the return value. Every clause adds information, with no repetition of schema content or filler.

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?

Given seven optional parameters, high schema coverage, an output schema, and safe read-only annotations, the description provides enough context for an agent to call the tool correctly. It covers scope, result meaning, and the compatibility caveat.

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 86%, and parameters like q, sim, limit, store, on_sale, category, and max_price_eur already carry their own descriptions. The main description adds little parameter-level detail, 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 and resource: search the fsaircraft.net catalog of payware MSFS add-ons across every tracked store. It also clarifies the result semantics (cheapest live offer, discount, compatibility), which distinguishes it from generic search/list siblings.

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?

The description gives clear context for when to use the tool: querying the catalog across all tracked stores and surfacing the cheapest live offer. It does not explicitly name alternatives or exclusion conditions, so it stops short of full routing guidance.

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