TDQS

C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, openWorldHint=true, non-idempotent and non-destructive, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds nothing beyond that — the second sentence merely restates the first, and it omits useful operational context such as credit costs for large `number` values (which only appears buried in the schema).

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?

Sized appropriately and front-loaded, but the two sentences are near-duplicates ('get video results' / 'returns structured video results'), so the second sentence does not earn its place.

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?

With an output schema, full parameter documentation, and annotations covering safety and openness, the definition is nearly complete for a simple search tool. The only meaningful gap is the absence of credit/cost behavior, which is left entirely to the schema.

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 pagination, result count, country and language are all documented in the schema itself. The description adds no parameter guidance or defaults, which is acceptable but unremarkable given full schema coverage.

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?

States a specific verb and resource: 'Search Google Videos and get video results.' An agent can tell this is the video vertical of a SERP search family. It does not differentiate itself from siblings like serp_google_images or serp_google_news, though the name largely does that work.

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 statement of when to use this tool versus the sibling search verticals, nor any prerequisites or exclusions. Usage is only implied by the tool name and title, which is below the 'explicit when/when-not' bar.

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