TDQS

A3.8/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered without the description. The description adds the useful behavioral note that omitting institution_id degrades result relevance. It says nothing about pagination limits or the text/json output distinction beyond the schema.

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 action and then the critical parameter guidance. The dense ID list is justified because it is non-derivable, though the parenthetical is heavy enough to slightly blunt readability.

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 read-only search tool with no output schema and full schema coverage, the description supplies the essentials: what it searches, the key filter and its values, and the fallback for unknown IDs. It could note paging or what a result contains, but nothing blocks correct invocation.

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 the baseline is 3, but the description genuinely adds meaning by mapping institution_id values (SRI=8, IESS=163, Registro Civil=23, ANT=48, Cancillería=6) that the schema only calls 'Institution ID'. This is exactly the kind of lookup data an agent cannot derive from the structured fields alone.

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: 'Search gob.ec government procedures (trámites).' That clearly separates it from get_tramite_info, get_tramite_estadisticas and list_instituciones, which it even references as the source of other IDs. It stops short of a crisp one-line scope statement, but the intent is unmistakable.

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?

Gives a concrete usage condition: pass institution_id for relevant results, and consult list_instituciones when the institution isn't in the listed set. It routes the agent to a sibling tool by name. No explicit exclusions or 'when not to use', so it falls just short of a 5.

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