TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states this is a retrieval operation but doesn't mention whether it's read-only, has rate limits, requires authentication, returns paginated results, or handles errors. For a data API tool with 7 parameters, this leaves significant behavioral gaps.
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 a single, efficient sentence that states exactly what the tool does without unnecessary words. It's appropriately sized for a data retrieval tool and front-loads the core functionality.
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 the tool's complexity (7 parameters, no output schema, no annotations), the description is minimally adequate but leaves significant gaps. It identifies the data source but doesn't explain return formats, error handling, or how to interpret results. The combination of good schema coverage but missing behavioral context results in a borderline complete picture.
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?
The schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all parameters thoroughly. The description doesn't add any additional parameter semantics beyond what's in the schema, such as explaining relationships between parameters or providing usage examples. This meets the baseline expectation when schema coverage is complete.
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 verb 'retrieve' and resource 'education data' with specific source 'Urban Institute's Education Data API', making the purpose unambiguous. However, it doesn't distinguish this from its sibling tool 'get_education_data_summary', which likely provides aggregated or summarized data versus the raw retrieval described here.
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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, including its sibling 'get_education_data_summary'. There's no mention of prerequisites, typical use cases, or contextual factors that would help an agent decide between this and other data retrieval options.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_education_data_summaryC
Retrieve aggregated education data from the Urban Institute's Education Data API
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| level | Yes | API data level to query | |
| source | Yes | API data source to query | |
| topic | Yes | API data topic to query | |
| subtopic | No | Optional additional parameters (only applicable to certain endpoints) | |
| stat | Yes | Summary statistic to calculate (e.g., 'sum', 'avg', 'count', 'median') | |
| var | Yes | Variable to be summarized | |
| by | Yes | Variables to group results by | |
| filters | No | Optional query filters |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states the tool retrieves aggregated data but doesn't mention critical behavioral aspects like whether it's read-only, potential rate limits, authentication requirements, error handling, or the format/scope of returned data. This leaves significant gaps for a tool with 8 parameters.
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 a single, efficient sentence that directly states the tool's purpose without unnecessary words. It's appropriately sized and front-loaded with the core functionality, making it easy to parse quickly.
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?
For a tool with 8 parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is insufficiently complete. It doesn't explain what 'aggregated' means in practice, doesn't address the sibling tool relationship, and provides no behavioral context. The agent would struggle to use this tool effectively without additional information.
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?
The schema description coverage is 100%, so all parameters are documented in the schema. The description adds no additional parameter semantics beyond implying aggregation occurs, which is already clear from the schema's parameter descriptions (e.g., 'stat' for summary statistics). This meets the baseline for high schema coverage.
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 action ('Retrieve aggregated education data') and the source ('Urban Institute's Education Data API'), which is specific and informative. However, it doesn't explicitly distinguish this tool from its sibling 'get_education_data', leaving some ambiguity about when to use one versus the other.
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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus its sibling 'get_education_data' or any alternatives. It lacks context about appropriate use cases, prerequisites, or exclusions, leaving the agent with no usage direction beyond the basic purpose.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Scored across 2 tools
The two tools have overlapping purposes that could easily cause confusion. Both retrieve education data from the same API, with 'get_education_data_summary' described as aggregated data, but the distinction between regular and aggregated data is not clearly defined in the descriptions. An agent might struggle to choose between them without more specific guidance on when to use each.
The tool names follow a perfectly consistent verb_noun pattern with 'get_education_data' and 'get_education_data_summary'. Both use snake_case and the same verb 'get', making them predictable and easy to parse. There are no deviations or mixed conventions in the naming.
With only 2 tools, this server feels too thin for its apparent scope of accessing an education data API. A typical data API server would benefit from more operations like filtering, searching, or accessing different endpoints, making this set under-scoped. The count is borderline minimal and may limit agent functionality.
The tool surface is severely incomplete for an education data API domain. There are obvious gaps: no tools for filtering data by parameters, accessing specific datasets, updating or managing data, or handling errors. This forces agents into dead ends and limits practical use to basic retrieval only.
