Fetch a Verge article by canonical HTTPS URL and return structured JSON with title, authors, publication times, lead image, body paragraphs, and a paywalled flag.

Instructions

Get The Verge article content. Returns one The Verge article by url, a canonical HTTPS article link. The response has the title, description, section, authors, publication and update times, lead image URL, body paragraphs and a paywalled flag. Subscriber-only or blocked pages return an error instead.

TDQS

A3.8/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full load and does well: it enumerates the return shape (title, description, section, authors, times, lead image, body paragraphs) and discloses the `paywalled` flag plus the failure mode for subscriber-only/blocked pages. It omits auth requirements and rate limits, keeping it below a 5.

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?

Three efficient sentences: purpose first, then return contract, then failure behavior. Every sentence earns its place with no filler, though the return-field enumeration makes it slightly dense.

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?

Since no output schema exists, the description must describe return values and it does so thoroughly, covering all response fields and the error case. An agent has everything needed to call the tool and interpret the result.

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%, so the single `url` parameter is already documented. The description adds that it is a 'canonical HTTPS article link', a modest clarification beyond the schema, which matches the baseline 3 for a well-covered single-parameter tool.

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 The Verge article content' and 'Returns one The Verge article by url'. This is clearly a single-article fetch, distinguishable in spirit from sibling list tools like theverge_headlines and theverge_news, but no sibling is named explicitly, so it stops short of full differentiation.

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 implied: pass a canonical URL to retrieve one article. However there is no explicit when-to-use versus alternatives, and it never routes the agent to theverge_headlines or theverge_news for discovery, nor states where the URL comes from. The error condition is a constraint rather than usage guidance.

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