Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No arguments

Behavior4/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It discloses that the content is English tech news and lists topics. For a zero-parameter tool, this is adequate, though it could mention retrieval behavior (e.g., recency, number of articles).

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is a single sentence that is perfectly sized for a simple tool. It front-loads the key action and source, with no redundancy or unnecessary words.

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?

Given the tool has no parameters and no output schema, the description covers the essential context: what news (The Verge) and what topics. It does not specify update frequency or output format, but for a simple retrieval, it is moderately complete.

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

Parameters5/5

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

There are no parameters, and schema coverage is 100%. The description adds meaningful context about the type of content retrieved, going beyond the empty schema. Baseline is 4, and the extra topic details justify a 5.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states the action (获取/Get), the specific resource (The Verge news), and the content scope (tech innovation, digital product reviews, internet trends, tech company dynamics). It effectively distinguishes itself from sibling tools like get_bbc_news or get_nytimes_news by naming the source.

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?

The description implies usage for fetching news from The Verge, but lacks explicit guidance on when to use it versus alternatives (e.g., other news sources on the server) or any exclusions. The purpose is clear, but the absence of comparative context or conditions lowers the score.

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