TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It declares a read-only listing with no side effects. Adequate for a simple list 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?

Two sentences, no wasted words, front-loaded purpose, and a hint at usage. Perfect conciseness.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Given no parameters, no output schema, and simple operation, the description is fully complete: it explains output grouping and a primary use case.

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?

No parameters; schema coverage is 100% trivially. Description adds no parameter info, but none is needed. Baseline 4 for zero parameters.

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 lists all 69 dimensions grouped by category, listing the categories explicitly, and mentions a downstream use case (filtering games). No ambiguity.

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?

Context is clear: use to retrieve dimensions. No exclusions or alternatives needed since no sibling tools. Could mention it's read-only, but not required.

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

Disambiguation5/5

With only a single tool, there is no possibility of confusion or overlap. The purpose of get_dimensions is clearly defined and distinct from anything else.

Naming Consistency5/5

The single tool follows a clear verb_noun pattern (get_dimensions), which is consistent and predictable. There are no conflicting naming conventions to confuse an agent.

Tool Count2/5

A single dimension-listing tool is too few for the apparent scope of a gameplay DNA server. The description references search_games, but that tool is absent, leaving the server feeling like an incomplete stub.

Completeness1/5

The server only provides static dimension metadata with no way to search or retrieve games, which the dimensions are intended to filter. This is a severely incomplete surface for its stated purpose.
