TDQS

A3.6/5.0
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 enumerates the returned fields and surfaces a notable behavioral trait (a `paywalled` flag), but says nothing about access constraints, partial content when paywalled, caching, or error behavior for non-canonical URLs.

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?

Two sentences, front-loaded with the purpose and then the return shape, with no filler. There is mild redundancy between 'Get Rolling Stone article content' and 'Returns a Rolling Stone article', but it stays tight and scannable.

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 no output schema, the description appropriately documents the return fields (title, description, section, authors, times, image, paragraphs, paywalled). For a single-parameter read tool this is nearly complete; the only omission is routing guidance against sibling feed tools.

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%, so baseline is 3, but the description adds real constraint beyond the schema's generic 'Canonical Rolling Stone article URL': it specifies the address must be a rollingstone.com URL ending in a numeric article id, which helps the agent validate input.

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 ('Get') and resource ('Rolling Stone article content') retrievable by canonical URL, which implicitly separates it from the rollingstone_headlines/news/sections feed tools. However, it never names a sibling or explicitly contrasts the detail-fetch use case, so it stops short of the top band.

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?

Usage is only implied: the required canonical URL signals the agent must already have an article address, but there is no explicit when-to-use, when-not-to-use, or alternative (e.g. vs rollingstone_headlines for browsing). Adequate but with a clear routing gap.

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