truthpulse

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 the tool's multi-endpoint nature and costs per endpoint, but does not explain behavioral aspects such as rate limits, authentication requirements, error handling, or output format. The lack of behavioral depth is a significant gap.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is front-loaded with the purpose but then lists all endpoints with costs, making it somewhat lengthy. It is organized with bullet points, but could be more concise by summarizing without line-item costs.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given 23 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is incomplete. It does not explain return values, how to select between parameters that apply to different endpoints, or error handling. It provides a high-level overview but lacks depth for effective use.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, with clear descriptions for each parameter. The description adds no additional meaning beyond listing endpoints with costs, which relates only to the 'action' parameter. Baseline 3 is appropriate as the schema already documents parameters adequately.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool's purpose as 'Primary-source intelligence for FOIA releases, declassified archives, court records, forensic evidence, UAP disclosures, and conspiracy theory evidence briefs.' It lists all endpoints, distinguishing it from sibling pulse tools which cover other domains. However, it could be more explicit that it is a dispatch tool for multiple sub-actions.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description does not provide guidance on when to use this tool versus its siblings or compare it to alternatives. It lists endpoints but lacks context about which scenarios warrant using 'truthpulse' over other pulse tools.

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