  5. First observed

TDQS

B3.1/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds useful behavioral context by saying results are ranked by specific criteria, but it doesn't disclose defaults, fallback behavior, or output shape. This is acceptable but not rich.

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 description is a single sentence with no wasted words and front-loads the usage condition. However, given the complexity of 21 parameters, the structure is very minimal and omits operational details, though that is more a completeness concern than a conciseness one.

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?

With 21 optional parameters, no per-parameter descriptions, and no output schema, this one-sentence description does not give an agent enough to reliably construct calls or interpret ranked results. It doesn't explain how parameters combine, sorting details, limit/offset semantics, or how to choose between this and related sibling tools.

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 0% and there are 21 bare parameters. The description only maps high-level concepts like vibe, price, and exclusions to ranking axes, leaving query, venue, event_types, neighborhoods, limit/result_limit, date_from/to, and other fields completely unexplained. That is not enough compensation for an undocumented, large schema.

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 clearly identifies that this tool recommends live events and the ranking dimensions (taste, vibe, price, exclusions), giving a specific verb and resource. However, it doesn't explicitly distinguish it from the sibling tool recommend_events_for_user, so some differentiation is left to inference.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

It provides a clear context for when to use the tool: when the user wants events ranked by taste, vibe, price, or exclusions. But it gives no explicit when-not guidance or mention of alternatives like search_events or recommend_events_for_user, so usage boundaries are only implied.

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

B3.2/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools map to distinct actions across search, recommendations, preferences, tickets, and feedback, with clear descriptions. The only real ambiguity is between recommend_events and recommend_events_for_user, plus some follow-up overlap, but boundaries are mostly clear.

Naming Consistency4/5

Tool names follow a consistent imperative verb_noun pattern and use snake_case throughout. Minor inconsistency exists in event vs events pluralization and interchangeable create/save verbs, but the overall pattern is predictable.

Tool Count3/5

23 tools is a large surface for an events assistant, landing in the 16-25 range that feels heavy. The count is defensible given the breadth of features, but it is borderline and somewhat difficult to navigate.

Completeness4/5

The set covers the core consumer journey well: search, recommendations, preference onboarding and CRUD, ticket quoting and purchase, and post-event feedback. Missing order-status or refund/cancellation endpoints are minor gaps, but primary workflows do not hit dead ends.
