A3.9/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden and does well: it discloses that it returns the 100 most recent stories for a single topic and lists the per-item fields (title, URL, summary, time, author-when-credited, lead image). It doesn't explicitly state read-only/no-side-effects, which is implied but not confirmed.

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?

Four short sentences, front-loaded with the purpose, then scope, then parameter format, then return shape. No padding, though the slug-format sentence partially duplicates the schema field description.

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?

There is no output schema, so the description properly documents the return cardinality (100) and item fields, and fully specifies the single required parameter. Nothing essential for a correct call is missing; only explicit read-only framing and discovery guidance are absent.

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 coverage is 100% and the schema field already explains the slug format ('site path with slashes replaced by hyphens'), which the description largely restates. The three concrete examples (news-sydney, sport-afl, business-property) add marginal value for picking among ~100 enum values, keeping this at the baseline.

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?

The description states a specific verb and resource ('Get 7NEWS Australia section headlines') and scopes it to a single topic, which tells it apart from sibling feeds like sevennewsau_news or sevennewsau_article. An agent can identify the call without opening the schema.

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?

It establishes context (headlines for one required topic) and implies usage via the required `section` constraint, but never states when to prefer this over sibling tools such as sevennewsau_news or sevennewsau_sections (which would be the way to discover valid slugs). No explicit exclusions or alternatives are named.

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