TDQS

A4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It usefully discloses that the feed does not publish titles and lists the returned fields (canonical URL, update time, lead image URL, caption), which is real behavioral context. However, it omits pagination behavior (only hinted at in schema) and whether results are ordered by recency.

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 with zero waste. The field list and the sibling routing are front-loaded so the agent gets the key facts immediately.

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?

For a two-parameter read tool with no output schema, the description is largely complete: it names the returns, notes the missing-title limitation, and points to an alternative. It could state ordering or fresh-story semantics more explicitly, but it covers the essentials an agent needs.

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 the schema already documents both parameters (page and section, with the enum spelled out). The description does not add syntax or format meaning beyond the schema; baseline 3 is appropriate.

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?

States a specific verb (Get) and resource (recent articles in a Reuters section), and explicitly distinguishes itself from the sibling /reuters/news by noting this feed lacks titles.

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?

Explicitly routes the agent to /reuters/news when a title-bearing feed of fresh stories is needed, and clarifies this tool is for section-based retrieval. It gives clear context but does not enumerate when a user might prefer other sibling feeds like reuters_articles or reuters_sections.

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