calculate_gre_score_estimator

Read-onlyIdempotent

Estimated GRE verbal and quant scores on the 130 to 170 scale: 130 plus the fraction of questions correct times 40, per section, plus the total. The optional writing score is clamped to 0 to 6 as on the page. Use when the user estimates GRE verbal and quant scores from practice results. 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 GRE Score Estimator calculator.

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations cover the safety profile (readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, non-openWorld), and the description adds non-schema behavior: the clamping rule for the writing score and the mandatory post-processing instruction to surface calculator_url as a clickable markdown link. That output-handling requirement is genuinely new information beyond the annotations.

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?

Front-loaded with the scoring formula, followed by the usage condition and a bolded IMPORTANT directive. Efficient, though the formula restatement is slightly dense; every sentence still carries actionable content.

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?

An output schema exists, so return-value explanation is unnecessary, and the description still covers the formula, defaults, usage context, and the required link behavior. Adequate for a 5-parameter estimator, with little meaningful gap remaining.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3, but the description goes further by explaining how verbal_correct/verbal_total map to the score (130 + fraction correct * 40 per section) and restating the 0-6 writing clamp. This adds interpretable meaning beyond the terse schema descriptions.

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 states a specific verb and resource ('Estimated GRE verbal and quant scores on the 130 to 170 scale') and even gives the mapping formula. It is clearly distinguishable from siblings like calculate_lsat_score_estimator, calculate_mcat_score_estimator, and calculate_sat_score by naming the GRE explicitly.

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?

'Use when the user estimates GRE verbal and quant scores from practice results' gives a clear triggering context. It lacks explicit when-not or alternative-tool guidance, but the test-specific framing makes the intended use unambiguous.

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