TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/openWorld, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds real value beyond that: the Rakuten-imposed mutual exclusion between genre and age/sex filters, and the shape of the payload (rank, price, review stats, purchase URL) in the absence of an output schema.

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?

Front-loaded with purpose, then constraints, then routing hint, then return contents — a sensible order with no filler. The only cost is the complete Japanese duplication of the same content, which doubles length without adding information for a single-language consumer.

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 4-parameter, all-optional read tool with no output schema, the description covers the ranking modes, the key cross-parameter constraint, and the returned fields. What is missing is only marginal — e.g. how the 1–34 page cap interacts with the ~1000-item ceiling, which the schema already states.

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% and each parameter (age, sex, page, genre_id) is already documented in-schema with enums, defaults, and range limits. The description restates the genre/age/sex exclusivity that the schema already carries, adding no syntax or format detail beyond it. Baseline 3 applies.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Get the Rakuten Ichiba realtime bestseller ranking') and immediately enumerates the three supported scoping modes (overall, genre, demographic). It also names the sibling ichiba_genre_search as the way to obtain genre IDs, so an agent can distinguish it from the other ichiba_* tools without opening schemas.

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?

Gives clear operating context: the three ranking modes, the mutually exclusive genre vs. demographic rule, and a routing hint to ichiba_genre_search for genre IDs. It does not, however, say when to prefer this ranking tool over ichiba_item_search or ichiba_product_search, so the alternative-selection guidance is incomplete.

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