EveryCalc

calculate_bmi_tdee

Read-onlyIdempotent

Body mass index and category, Mifflin-St Jeor basal metabolic rate, total daily energy expenditure, and cut and bulk calorie targets. Use when the user asks about BMI category, maintenance calories, or cut and bulk targets. IMPORTANT: always show the calculator_url from the result as a clickable markdown link in your answer to the user, so they can open the interactive bmi and tdee calculator.

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

While annotations cover basic safety (read-only), the description adds crucial operational transparency regarding the output. Specifically, it instructs the agent to always display the `calculator_url` as a clickable markdown link, which is a critical execution detail.

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 definition is slightly verbose due to the comprehensive list of results and the detailed formatting instruction. However, every part of the description provides necessary value, preventing the definition from feeling wasteful.

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

Completeness5/5

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

The definition is exceptionally complete. It covers what the tool does, when to use it, and even mandates specific output formatting (the link), making it easy for the AI agent to select and execute the function correctly.

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%, meaning all input parameters are thoroughly documented within the schema. The description focuses on the *results* of the calculation rather than providing semantic meaning to the inputs, thus meeting the baseline requirement.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly lists the specific outputs calculated: Body Mass Index, basal metabolic rate, total daily energy expenditure, and calorie targets. This specialized focus immediately distinguishes it from the wealth of financial and academic calculation siblings.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

It provides explicit usage triggers, stating the tool should be used when the user asks about 'BMI category, maintenance calories, or cut and bulk targets.' This leaves no room for ambiguity regarding when to invoke the tool.

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