TDQS

A3.8/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive and open-world, so the safety profile is free. The description still adds real value beyond that by disclosing that results are limited to pages the caller can access and that linked Instagram references appear only 'when available' — a conditional-field behavior not visible in annotations.

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?

One sentence, front-loaded with the action and resource, followed by the returned fields. Nothing is repeated from annotations and nothing is filler.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values needn't be explained, and pagination is covered by the cursor/limit schema descriptions. The remaining gap is small: the description doesn't state that results may be empty when the token manages no pages, nor how the permission scope is determined.

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%, so limit, cursor and businessId are already fully documented in the schema, including the businessId vs /me/accounts distinction. The description adds no parameter guidance of its own, which is the expected baseline when the schema carries the burden.

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?

Specific verb (List) plus specific resource (Facebook Pages) plus an enumeration of returned fields, which separates it from siblings like meta_get_page_posts or meta_get_instagram_accounts. It stops short of naming a sibling or scope boundary explicitly, so it is clear but not fully differentiated.

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 word 'accessible' signals that results are permission-scoped to the token's pages, and the fields hint at discovery/selection use. There is no explicit when-to-use statement, no mention of when to prefer meta_get_instagram_accounts or meta_get_business_assets, and no note about when to supply businessId.

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