TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare the safety profile (not read-only, open-world, non-idempotent, non-destructive), and the description adds the useful detail that it emits five distinct file artifacts. However, it says nothing about generation cost/latency, whether prior output is overwritten, or any side effects of a non-idempotent, open-world generator.
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?
One front-loaded sentence with the verb first and zero filler. It is dense, listing five artifact types parenthetically, which makes it long but every clause earns its place. Slightly heavy for a single sentence but well structured.
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?
With a 100%-covered schema, full annotations, and an output schema that handles return values, the description only needs to establish purpose and scope, which it does thoroughly. Minor gap: no note on how rich the input must be to yield good output for a generative tool.
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 description coverage is 100%, so all four parameters (style, theme, language, topic_or_content) including both enums are already documented in the schema. The description adds no parameter-level meaning beyond that, so the baseline of 3 applies.
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?
Specific verb 'Genera' plus a precisely enumerated resource: a 5-in-1 executive presentation suite, with each artifact named (editable DrawingML PowerPoint, interactive web deck, KPI dashboard, whiteboard infographic, HD PDF). An agent immediately knows what the tool produces and from what input.
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 scopes the accepted input ('cualquier tema de negocios, reporte financiero o datos'), giving clear context for when the tool applies. There are no sibling tools to route against, so no exclusions are needed, but it never states when NOT to use it or what prerequisites (e.g., content richness) matter.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Scored across 1 tool
With only a single tool, there is no possibility of confusing it with another; the agent has exactly one obvious action to select. The description clearly scopes what the tool produces.
The lone tool name follows a clean snake_case verb_noun convention (generate_presentation_suite) that is descriptive and predictable. There are no competing conventions to clash with.
A single monolithic tool subsuming a 5-in-1 suite (PPT, web deck, dashboard, infographic, PDF) is borderline thin — there is no way to request just one artifact or tweak granular outputs. The count is defensible for a one-shot generator but lacks flexibility.
The tool covers generation of all five advertised artifacts in one call, so the core purpose is met, but there are no follow-up operations (regenerate a single format, edit output, list prior suites, customize templates). Agents have no recovery path if part of the output is wrong.
