TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint, so safety is covered. The description adds scope context (only groups with data on EnviDat) and explains the return shape: a readable text list plus structuredContent matching OrganizationListOutput. No contradiction with annotations.

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 reasonably concise and front-loaded with the core purpose. The second sentence adds practical context, and the Returns block is structured. It could be tightened slightly, but no sentence is wasted.

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 zero-parameter list tool with strong annotations and an output schema, the description is largely complete: it states what is listed, the scope, and the output format. Minor ambiguity remains about whether 'alle WSL-Forschungseinheiten' includes units with zero published datasets or only those with at least one, so it is not perfect.

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 tool has zero parameters and the schema coverage is 100%, so there are no parameter details to document. The baseline of 4 applies because nothing is missing and the description does not need to compensate for schema gaps.

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 ('Listet') and resource ('alle WSL-Forschungseinheiten'), and adds the dataset count per unit. It also distinguishes itself from the sibling wsl_get_organization by positioning this as the overview-level query that precedes a detailed organization lookup.

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 gives a clear usage context: it provides an overview of WSL research groups that published data on EnviDat and is useful for identifying relevant organizations before querying wsl_get_organization. It lacks an explicit when-not-to-use statement, but the intended workflow is evident.

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