TDQS

D1.2/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, non-destructive and open-world behavior, so the safety profile is covered. The only added behavior is the per-request price ($0.001 USD per successful request), which is genuinely useful cost context beyond the annotations, but it is the sole non-template content.

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

Conciseness1/5

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

The blurb is short but consists entirely of an HTML-comment pricing artifact that does not earn its place for tool selection. It is not front-loaded with any purpose statement.

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

Completeness1/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Although an output schema and annotations exist, the description supplies zero information on what the tool returns or when to call it. For a keyword-lookup tool surrounded by dozens of similar siblings, this is completely inadequate for correct selection.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters1/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0% for both parameters, so the description must compensate and instead says nothing about the required 'phrase' or the 'database' default. There is no hint about accepted phrase format or database values such as 'us'.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose1/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description contains only a pricing banner and never states what the tool does. Nothing indicates it returns Semrush keyword overview metrics for a phrase, nor distinguishes it from siblings like get_semrush_keyword_difficulty or post_dataforseo_labs_google_keyword_overview_live.

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

Usage Guidelines1/5

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

There is no when-to-use guidance, no mention of alternatives, and no conditions for selecting this tool over the many keyword-data siblings. The agent is left to infer everything from the tool name.

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