healthgrades_specialties

Retrieve all Healthgrades physician specialties, including names and directory URLs, from the public A-Z directory to build specialty lists.

Instructions

List Healthgrades physician specialties. Returns every specialty name and directory URL shown on Healthgrades' public A-Z specialty directory. Requests use US egress and Safari browser impersonation because the site restricts some content by region.

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden. It usefully discloses the return contents and that requests use US egress plus Safari impersonation due to regional restrictions, but omits whether it is read-only, requires authentication, is cached, or has rate limits.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Three tight sentences, front-loaded with purpose, then return contents, then behavioral constraints. No filler and every sentence earns its place.

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?

For a simple parameterless listing tool with no output schema or annotations, the description covers what it does, what it returns, and the request constraints. Nothing an agent needs to invoke it correctly is missing.

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?

The tool takes zero parameters, so there is nothing for the description to clarify. Baseline of 4 applies per the rubric for parameterless tools.

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 ('List Healthgrades physician specialties') and describes the exact scope (A-Z specialty directory returning names and URLs). It is clearly distinct from sibling search tools like healthgrades_physicians_search, though it does not name an alternative explicitly.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as healthgrades_physicians_search or healthgrades_top_searches. The description says what the tool returns but never states the condition that should select it, leaving usage entirely to inference.

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