TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations exist, so the description must carry the full burden. It explains three distinct behaviors (search, detail, ranking) but does not disclose whether the tool is read-only, requires authentication, or what errors might occur. The behavioral description is functional but lacks safety or side-effect details.

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 extremely concise: one sentence summarizing functionality followed by three example invocations. Every line adds value, and the structure is front-loaded, making it easy to parse quickly.

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 6 parameters and an output schema (not described), the description covers the core three modes well but omits the 'order' and 'fund_type' parameters. It also doesn't mention default behavior or output structure. Still, for a parametric query tool, it is fairly complete.

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

Parameters4/5

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

With 0% schema description coverage, the description compensates by explaining code for detail, keyword for search, sort_by for ranking, and limit for pagination. However, order and fund_type are not described, leaving some semantics implicit. Overall, it adds significant meaning beyond the bare schema.

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 it queries fund data with three explicit modes: search, detail, and ranking. Examples with concrete parameters (keyword, code, sort_by) make the purpose unmistakable and differentiate from sibling tools like finance_stock (stock data) and finance_market (market data) by focusing on mutual funds.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides clear usage guidance by showing which parameters to use for each mode (keyword for search, code for detail, sort_by for ranking). It doesn't explicitly state when NOT to use or compare to siblings, but the examples are sufficiently directive.

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

finance_marketA

Get market data. Supports multiple modes:

  • Market overview: finance_market() — indices, breadth, volume, top sectors, macro

  • With sectors: finance_market(include="sectors") — add sector ranking

  • With funds: finance_market(include="funds") — add fund ranking

  • With valuation: finance_market(include="valuation") — add industry valuation map

  • With macro: finance_market(include="macro") — add macro indicators

  • All extras: finance_market(include="sectors,funds,valuation,macro")

  • Sector detail: finance_market(sector="半导体") — specific sector with constituents

TDQS

A3.7/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must convey behavior fully. It mentions the data included in each mode (indices, breadth, sectors, etc.), but does not disclose side effects, rate limits, staleness of data, or whether the tool is read-only.

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 description is well-structured with clear bullet points and examples. It is somewhat lengthy, but each line adds value. Could be slightly more concise by grouping similar modes.

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?

Given 6 parameters (all optional) and no annotations, the description covers the core functionality and return data for each mode. However, it omits explanations for several parameters (date, type, limit, sort_by) and does not specify default values or constraints.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It explains 'include' and 'sector' via examples, but fails to describe 'date', 'type', 'limit', and 'sort_by'. This leaves half the parameters undocumented.

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 'Get market data' and enumerates multiple modes (overview, sectors, funds, valuation, macro). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like finance_fund and finance_stock by focusing on broad market metrics rather than individual securities.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides concrete invocation examples for each mode, showing how to use the 'include' and 'sector' parameters. However, it does not explicitly state when to avoid this tool or compare use cases with sibling tools.

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

finance_stockA

Query A-share stock data. Supports multiple modes:

  • Search: finance_stock(keyword="茅台") — find stocks by name or code

  • Latest quote: finance_stock(symbol="600519") — current price, PE, PB, dividend yield

  • Specific date: finance_stock(symbol="600519", date="2026-03-28")

  • History: finance_stock(symbol="600519", days=60) — last N trading days

  • With technicals: finance_stock(symbol="600519", days=60, include="technicals")

  • With fundamentals: finance_stock(symbol="600519", include="fundamental") Either keyword or symbol is required.

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description effectively conveys that this is a read-only query tool by listing output fields (price, PE, PB, dividend yield, technicals) and parameters. It does not disclose potential limitations like rate limits or data freshness, but the behavior is well-explained for typical use.

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 concise with a clear bullet list of modes and examples. It is front-loaded with the purpose, and every sentence adds value without redundancy.

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's complexity (7 parameters, multiple modes) and presence of an output schema, the description covers most scenarios. Minor omissions like limit and indicators parameters prevent a perfect score, but overall it is complete for a data query tool.

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 0%, so the description must compensate. It explains keyword, symbol, date, days, and include through examples, but does not explicitly describe limit or indicators parameters, leaving gaps in parameter understanding.

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 'Query A-share stock data' and lists multiple specific modes (search, latest quote, date-specific, history, with technicals, with fundamentals), which distinguishes it from siblings like finance_fund and finance_stock_screen.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides explicit usage examples for each mode and notes that either keyword or symbol is required. However, it does not explicitly mention when not to use this tool (e.g., for in-depth fundamentals vs finance_fund) or highlight alternatives among siblings.

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

finance_stock_screenA

Screen stocks by criteria or get top/bottom rankings.

  • Ranking: finance_stock_screen(sort_by="change_pct", limit=10) — today's top gainers

  • Filter: finance_stock_screen(industry="半导体", pe_max=30) — semiconductor stocks with PE < 30 All filter params are optional. With no filters, returns a simple ranking.

TDQS

A3.9/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It reveals that the tool can operate in ranking or filtering modes, and that all parameters are optional, implying a query behavior. However, it does not explicitly state that it is read-only or disclose any mutation risks, rate limits, or other behavioral traits.

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 extremely concise, using two clear bullet points with examples. Every sentence adds value, and the structure is front-loaded with the main purpose.

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 presence of an output schema (not shown), the description adequately explains the two main operational modes. However, it could be more complete by briefly summarizing the output format or clarifying that the tool returns a list of stocks. The missing parameter explanations reduce completeness slightly.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It only explains a subset of parameters (sort_by, limit, industry, pe_max) through examples. Critical parameters like pb_max, pe_min, min/max_market_cap, min_dividend_yield, and order are not described, leaving ambiguity about their meaning and default values.

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 specifies that the tool screens stocks by criteria or obtains top/bottom rankings, differentiating it from sibling tools like finance_stock (individual stock info) and finance_market (market data). Concrete examples illustrate both ranking and filtering modes.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides explicit examples of ranking (sort_by, limit) and filtering (industry, pe_max) usage, and states that with no filters it returns a simple ranking. However, it does not explicitly mention when not to use this tool or suggest alternatives.

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

A3.6/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It only mentions parameters and default values, omitting critical traits like idempotency, authentication needs, or rate limits. The read-only nature is implied but not stated.

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 extremely concise: one sentence for the main action and one for parameters. Every word adds value with no redundancy. The front-loading is effective.

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?

For a simple tool with an output schema, the description covers parameter semantics adequately but lacks context about ordering, time window, or pagination. It is sufficient for basic use but could be more informative.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Given 0% schema description coverage, the description compensates by explaining the 'category' parameter with example values and the 'limit' parameter with a range. This adds meaning beyond the schema's type and default fields, though a complete enumeration of categories would improve it.

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 uses a specific verb-resource pair ('Get latest news headlines'), clearly indicating the tool's purpose. The examples of categories (finance/general/tech/sports/...) further clarify the scope. The purpose is distinct from sibling tools like finance_stock or info_search.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

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 such as info_search or info_scrape. It lacks explicit conditions or exclusions, leaving the agent to infer usage context.

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

TDQS

C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations available, and the description only says 'read a webpage' without disclosing limitations like dynamic content handling, rate limits, or authentication requirements.

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 description is two sentences, first stating purpose and second describing the parameter. It is concise but could front-load the parameter hint more efficiently.

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

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the presence of an output schema, return values aren't needed, but the description lacks usage context, alternatives, or behavioral details, making it incomplete for effective tool selection.

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

Parameters2/5

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

The schema has 0% description coverage for the 'url' parameter; the description adds 'the webpage URL to scrape,' which is minimal and doesn't clarify format or constraints.

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 tool reads a webpage and returns markdown content, distinguishing it from sibling tools like info_news or info_search which serve different purposes.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

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 siblings (e.g., info_news might also retrieve web content) or any prerequisites or restrictions.

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

No output parameters

TDQS

A3.8/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, and the description only mentions default behavior. It does not disclose rate limits, data accuracy, error handling, or authentication needs, which are important for a geolocation tool.

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 extremely concise: two sentences, front-loaded with the primary action, and no unnecessary words. Every part earns its place.

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 output schema exists (providing return structure), the description covers the core functionality and parameter semantics. It lacks error handling details but is adequate for a simple lookup tool.

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

Parameters4/5

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

The input schema has zero description coverage (0%), so the description compensates by explaining the 'address' parameter and its default value. This adds meaningful context beyond the schema.

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 'Get IP geolocation info,' specifying the verb and resource. It also explains the parameter, making the purpose unambiguous.

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 does not provide guidelines on when to use the tool or its alternatives. While the context signals show no direct sibling for IP geolocation, the lack of usage guidance is a gap.

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

life_logisticsA

Track a courier package. number: tracking number. company: courier company code (auto-detected if omitted).

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
numberYes
companyNo

Output Schema

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescription

No output parameters

TDQS

A3.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. It only mentions auto-detection and leaves out important details such as idempotency, rate limits, whether it requires authentication, or what the response contains.

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 consists of two short sentences, front-loading the purpose and efficiently covering the parameters. Every phrase adds value with no redundancy.

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?

The description covers the essential usage and parameters, and an output schema exists to describe return values. However, it lacks details on expected output behavior or any prerequisites, making it adequate but not fully comprehensive.

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

Parameters4/5

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

With 0% schema description coverage, the description compensates by explaining that 'number' is a tracking number and 'company' is a courier company code that can be auto-detected. This adds meaningful context beyond the raw schema.

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 'Track a courier package,' providing a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools (finance, info, life_ip, life_weather) which address different domains.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description explains auto-detection of the courier company if omitted, giving clear guidance on parameter usage. While it does not explicitly state when not to use this tool, the sibling tools cover unrelated areas, making the context clear.

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

life_weatherA

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
cityNo
forecastNo
locationNo

Output Schema

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescription

No output parameters

TDQS

A3.8/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must cover behavioral aspects. It describes the core function and parameters but does not disclose any limitations, required permissions, or response characteristics beyond the input schema.

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 extremely concise: two sentences that front-load the main purpose and then explain parameters. Every word adds value, with no redundancy or 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?

For a simple tool with three optional parameters and an existing output schema, the description covers the core functionality and parameter usage. However, it does not clarify precedence between city and location or potential error conditions, leaving minor gaps.

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

Parameters4/5

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

With 0% schema description coverage, the description compensates by explaining the parameters: city example ('北京'), location format ('lat,lng'), and forecast effect ('include 7-day forecast'). This adds significant meaning beyond the schema's types and defaults.

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 tool's purpose: 'Get weather data: current conditions and optional 7-day forecast.' It uses a specific verb and resource, and the sibling tools are all in different domains (finance, info, other life tools), making differentiation straightforward.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives or when not to use it. Although siblings are distinct, the description lacks any 'when-to-use' or 'when-not-to-use' advice.

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