TDQS

A3.8/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=false, so safety and side-effect profile are covered. The description adds that the content is a complete step-by-step guide covering both sides of the marketplace, but says nothing about length, structure, or whether repeated calls return the same content, which matters for a document-retrieval tool.

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 short sentences, zero filler, with what the tool is stated first and the call-to-action second. Nothing could be removed without losing either the scope or the timing instruction.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a single-parameter, read-only, no-output-schema tool, the description plus annotations and schema cover everything needed to invoke it correctly. Only the expected shape of the returned guide is left unstated, which is a minor gap for a documentation reader.

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 single parameter's description is fully self-explanatory, including the third-person, no-personal-data constraint. The tool description adds no further meaning to the 'context' argument, which is acceptable given the schema does the work, but it earns only the baseline.

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 names the resource precisely ('the full guide to selling and buying codebases on Moatless') and implies the read action with 'Read it before starting'. No sibling tool covers documentation, so there is no ambiguity, though the verb itself is delivered as an instruction rather than a statement of what the tool does.

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?

'Read it before starting either' gives clear timing guidance tied to both selling and buying workflows, which is exactly the context an agent needs to decide whether to call it first. It stops short of saying when the guide is unnecessary or what to do after reading it.

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