TDQS

C2.1/5.0
Behavior1/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden, and it discloses nothing: not the input format (numerator/denominator are declared as strings, which is unusual), not the output form (a list of unit fractions), not error behavior for zero/invalid denominators, and not whether denominators must be positive. This is effectively absent.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

It is very short and front-loaded, which is positive, but the second clause simply repeats the first with a colon, so roughly half the sentence carries zero information.

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?

For a two-parameter numeric utility with no output schema and no annotations, the description leaves too much unspecified: the return shape, the string-typed inputs, and denominator constraints are all undocumented.

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 100%, so the schema already labels both parameters and the baseline is 3. The description adds no meaning beyond the schema — notably it does not explain why the numeric inputs are typed as strings or what valid values look like.

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

Purpose2/5

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

The description restates the tool name almost verbatim ('Egyptian Fraction: Egyptian fraction decomposition'), which is a tautology rather than an explanation of what the operation produces. It does not distinguish the tool from close siblings such as x402-continued-fraction, x402-decimal-to-fraction, or x402-fraction-to-percent.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, no prerequisites, and no statement of what a caller should expect. An agent must infer everything from the name alone.

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