TDQS

A3.6/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds genuinely new context beyond that: the cost tier (50 credits, Tier 3), the underlying endpoint, and the fact that output is a timeline of hits rather than a single value.

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?

The core sentence is front-loaded and only two lines long, with the bracketed Group/Endpoint/Cost metadata clearly separated. The metadata block is boilerplate rather than tool-specific insight, which keeps it from a 5.

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

Completeness3/5

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, and the rich input schema covers the birth-data complexity. What is missing is the decision context an agent actually needs: which direction method is used and how this differs from the many sibling prognostic tools.

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 description coverage is 100% and the nested body schema explains date/time/coordinates, timezone handling, house system letters, and the directional fields (key, maxAge, aspectAngles) in detail. The description only loosely maps to those fields by mentioning "maximum age" and the direction method, so it meets but does not exceed the baseline.

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?

The description names a specific verb and resource ("Calculate primary directions") and states the return shape ("a timeline of directed aspect hits"), which is far more informative than the title alone. It partially disambiguates from siblings like symbolic_directions by naming the two direction methods (Ptolemaic or Regiomontanus), though it never explicitly contrasts itself with those siblings.

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 only implied: the tool searches "up to a maximum age" and yields a timeline, which hints at long-term predictive work. There is no statement of when to choose primary directions over symbolic directions, progressions, or profections, and no prerequisites or exclusions are given.

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