C2.9/5.0

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint, so the description's burden is lighter, and it does add a useful usage-based pricing estimate. It says nothing, however, about the read-like nature implied by 'provide', nor how the destructive annotation should be interpreted for a data retrieval endpoint, so behavioral disclosure remains modest.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

The core description is a single front-loaded sentence with no filler, and the pricing note is separated by comment markers. The leading zero-width character is a minor cosmetic flaw, but the overall structure is efficient and easy to scan.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given the complex nested body schema, an output schema, and many sibling tools, the description is too thin. It does not explain what metrics the 'overview' includes, when to choose this over siblings, or how to interpret the contradictory annotations, leaving critical operational context missing.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema description coverage is reported as 0%, so the description is expected to compensate for parameter meaning, but it does not. It vaguely mentions 'domain, subdomain, or webpage' without naming the target parameter, its required URL/domain format, or any of the other body fields like backlinks_filters or rank_scale.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states the verb and resource: providing an overview of backlinks data for a domain, subdomain, or webpage. However, it does not distinguish this 'summary' endpoint from sibling tools like backlinks_live, referring_domains_live, or anchors_live, leaving the agent to infer the difference from the tool name alone.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

The description offers no when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites, and no explicit alternatives. With over 30 sibling backlinks tools, an agent has no basis for selecting this summary endpoint over a more specific one such as post_dataforseo_backlinks_backlinks_live or post_dataforseo_backlinks_referring_domains_live.

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