TDQS

C2.7/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden, and it says nothing about whether this is a pure read, whether it performs an active probe against a live bridge, whether it can fail or time out, or what authorization it needs. A single noun phrase cannot substitute for a safety/behavior profile on an unannotated tool.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

It is a single short clause with no waste and the resource is front-loaded, but the brevity is under-specification rather than efficiency — the sentence omits the verb entirely. Also note the description is in Dutch while all sibling tool names are English, which is a minor friction for query matching.

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

Completeness2/5

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

An output schema exists, so return values need not be described, but the description does not explain what the tool actually checks, what a healthy vs. unhealthy result implies, or when an agent should call it before or after the superbuy_* tools. For a no-param tool this is nearly adequate, yet still leaves the agent without a reason to invoke it.

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?

The tool takes zero parameters, so there is nothing for the description to disambiguate; baseline 4 applies. The empty schema is self-explanatory.

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

Purpose3/5

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

"Status van bridge en Firefox-extensie" identifies the resources reported on (bridge and Firefox extension) but uses no verb and never says what "status" means here — health check, connection state, version info? It also gives no differentiation from the sibling tools (search, details, publish, etc.), so an agent can only infer this is a diagnostic read.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

There is no guidance at all on when to call this versus the siblings, no prerequisites, and no indication of what triggers the check or whether calling it has side effects. The agent must guess that this is the first-call smoke test / connectivity probe.

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