TDQS

A4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It does disclose the returned item shape (title, URL, summary, author, publication time, image) and implies a safe read via 'Get... Returns,' but says nothing about pagination, result limits, ordering, or 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 what is returned, then the required-input constraint, then the return fields. No filler.

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 single-parameter headline fetch with no output schema, the description is sufficient: it covers the input constraint and enumerates the return fields, so an agent can call it and interpret the result without further documentation.

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% with a 14-value enum, so the baseline is 3. The description adds real meaning on top: it clarifies that section slugs are accepted while tag archives are not, disambiguating the enum's intent.

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 ('Get MakeUseOf section headlines') and scopes it to 'one category,' so the agent knows exactly what is returned. It never names its siblings (makeuseof_sections, makeuseof_news, makeuseof_article), so differentiation is left implicit.

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?

Gives clear invocation context: `section` is required, examples of valid slugs are listed, and the negative constraint 'tag archives are not accepted' tells the agent what inputs will fail. No explicit when-to-use-vs-alternative routing, but the constraints are actionable.

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