TDQS

D1.3/5.0
Behavior1/5

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

No annotations are provided and the description carries no behavioral information — nothing about convergence tolerance, iteration limits, failure modes when f(a) and f(b) share a sign, or output format. For a numerical tool with zero annotation coverage this is a total gap.

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

Conciseness2/5

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

It is short, but shortness here is under-specification rather than conciseness — the single repeated phrase does not earn its place. Nothing is front-loaded because nothing is stated.

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?

With no annotations, no output schema, and four undocumented-in-practice parameters, the definition leaves an agent unable to call the tool correctly. A numerical root-finding tool requires at least interval semantics and result shape, and neither is present.

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 nominally 100%, but the descriptions are placeholder junk ("A to process", "Fn to process") that convey nothing; an agent cannot learn that a and b are interval endpoints, fn is the target expression, or iterations is a cap. The main description adds no parameter meaning to compensate, so the baseline of 3 is not deserved.

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 is the name restated twice: "Bisection Method: Bisection Method". It names no verb, no resource beyond the title, and gives an agent no way to distinguish it from any other numeric method sibling such as x402-newton-method or x402-false-position.

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 guidance about when to use bisection over alternatives like Newton's method, nor any precondition such as the function changing sign on the interval. Nothing indicates context of use at all.

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