TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It states the tool gets current time but doesn't disclose behavioral traits like whether it's read-only, requires permissions, has rate limits, or what the output format is. This is a significant gap for a tool with zero annotation coverage.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, efficient sentence that front-loads the purpose with zero waste. Every word earns its place, making it appropriately sized for this simple tool.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's low complexity (0 parameters, no output schema), the description is minimally adequate but lacks details on behavioral aspects like output format or usage context. It doesn't fully compensate for the absence of annotations and output schema, leaving gaps in understanding.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0 parameters and 100% schema description coverage, the baseline is 4. The description adds no parameter information, which is acceptable since there are no parameters to document.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Get') and resource ('current time'), specifying it returns time in the configured local timezone. It distinguishes from siblings like get-time-in-timezone by focusing on local time, but doesn't explicitly contrast with get-current-timezone or list-timezones.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like get-current-timezone or get-time-in-timezone. The description implies usage for local time retrieval but lacks context on exclusions or prerequisites.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get-current-timezoneB
Get the current system timezone
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden but only states what the tool does without behavioral details. It doesn't disclose whether this is a read-only operation, if it requires permissions, how it handles errors, or what format the timezone is returned in (e.g., IANA code, offset).
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, clear sentence with no wasted words. It's front-loaded with the core purpose and efficiently conveys the essential information without unnecessary elaboration.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the lack of annotations and output schema, the description is incomplete for a tool that returns data. It doesn't specify what the output looks like (e.g., timezone name, offset, or structured object), which is critical for an agent to use the tool effectively. The simplicity of the tool mitigates this somewhat, but key behavioral context is missing.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The tool has 0 parameters, and schema description coverage is 100%, so no parameter documentation is needed. The description appropriately doesn't mention parameters, aligning with the schema. A baseline of 4 is applied since no parameters exist.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Get') and resource ('current system timezone'), making the purpose immediately understandable. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'get-current-time' or 'list-timezones', which prevents a perfect score.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'get-current-time' (which might return time without timezone) or 'list-timezones' (which lists available timezones). The description lacks context about use cases or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states what the tool does but doesn't describe how it behaves—for example, it doesn't mention error handling for invalid timezones, whether it returns formatted time or raw data, or any rate limits. This leaves significant gaps in understanding the tool's operation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, clear sentence that efficiently conveys the tool's purpose without unnecessary words. It is front-loaded and wastes no space, making it easy to parse quickly.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the lack of annotations and output schema, the description is incomplete for a tool that performs a read operation. It doesn't explain what the return value looks like (e.g., formatted string, timestamp), error conditions, or how to handle invalid inputs. This leaves the agent with insufficient context to use the tool effectively.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, with the single parameter 'timezone' fully documented in the schema. The description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema provides, such as examples of valid timezone formats (e.g., 'America/New_York') or constraints. Baseline 3 is appropriate since the schema does the heavy lifting.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'get' and the resource 'current time in a specific timezone', making the purpose immediately understandable. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'get-current-time' (which might return time without timezone specification) or 'list-timezones' (which lists available timezones rather than getting time for one).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 its siblings. It doesn't mention alternatives like 'get-current-time' for time without timezone or 'list-timezones' for browsing timezones, nor does it specify prerequisites such as needing a valid timezone identifier.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the lack of annotations and output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain what the return value looks like (e.g., list format, timezone identifiers), which is critical for a tool that lists data. This gap reduces usability for an AI agent.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 0 parameters with 100% coverage, so no parameter documentation is needed. The description appropriately doesn't mention parameters, earning a high baseline score for not adding unnecessary information.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb ('List') and resource ('all available timezones'), making the purpose unambiguous. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'get-current-timezone' or 'get-time-in-timezone', which prevents a perfect score.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 like 'get-current-timezone' or 'get-time-in-timezone'. It lacks context about use cases, prerequisites, or exclusions, leaving the agent to infer usage from tool names alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Scored across 4 tools
Every tool has a clearly distinct purpose with no ambiguity: get-current-time retrieves local time, get-current-timezone returns the system timezone, get-time-in-timezone fetches time for a specified zone, and list-timezones enumerates available zones. The descriptions make it impossible to confuse these tools.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with hyphens (e.g., get-current-time, list-timezones). This predictable naming scheme enhances readability and agent usability without any deviations.
With 4 tools, the server is well-scoped for handling date/time operations. Each tool earns its place by covering core functionalities: retrieving time, managing timezones, and listing options, making the count appropriate for the domain.
The tool surface provides complete coverage for basic date/time operations: it supports getting current time (locally and in specific zones), accessing timezone information, and listing all available zones. There are no obvious gaps for this focused purpose.
