thedailybeast_article

Fetch The Daily Beast article content by canonical URL and return structured title, authors, body paragraphs, and paywall status.

Instructions

The response has the title, description, section, authors, publication and update times, lead image URL, body paragraphs and a paywalled flag.

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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 discloses return fields (title, description, section, authors, publication/update times, lead image, paragraphs, paywalled flag) and an error condition for non-article pages, though it omits auth or rate-limit details.

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 sentences, front-loaded with the action and each providing distinct useful information: scope, URL format, return fields, and error case. No filler sentences, though it could be slightly tighter.

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?

With no output schema, the description lists the returned fields; with no annotations, it explains the error case for non-articles. For a single-URL article fetcher, this covers what an agent needs to call it correctly.

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. The description adds format meaning beyond the schema's "Canonical The Daily Beast article URL" by explaining the root-level slug versus single-vertical path (e.g., `obsessed`).

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?

"Get The Daily Beast article content" is a specific verb plus resource, and the description clarifies it returns a single article by canonical URL, distinguishing from digest/index pages that error. It does not name sibling list tools like thedailybeast_headlines, but the single-article scope is clear enough.

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?

The description specifies acceptable URL forms (root-level slug or under a single content vertical) and explicitly excludes digest/index pages as errors. It lacks pointers to alternative sibling tools for article lists, but the when/when-not context is clear.

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