TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, so description must carry the burden. It describes the core behavior (calculating one from two) but does not disclose error handling, return format, or limitations 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences with no wasted words. Front-loaded with purpose and immediately followed by usage rule. Exemplary conciseness.
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 no output schema, the description does not specify what is returned, but for a calculator it's natural to return the computed value. Sibling tools are clearly different. Could mention output format but still sufficient.
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 coverage is 100% with format descriptions. The description adds the key semantics that exactly two parameters must be provided and which one is inferred. This adds value beyond the individual parameter descriptions.
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?
Description clearly states it calculates pace, finish time, or distance from any two inputs. Verb 'calculate' and resource 'running pace, finish time, or distance' are specific and distinguishable from sibling tools like get_guide or heart_rate_zones.
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?
Explicitly instructs to provide any two of the three parameters, which is clear usage guidance. However, no when-not-to-use or alternative tool references are provided, but given the tool's simplicity this is adequate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_guideA
Get detailed information about a specific running guide including FAQs and related tools
| Name | Required | Description | Default |

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 coverage is 100% with example values. Description adds no extra meaning beyond what the schema provides for the slug parameter.
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 'detailed information about a specific running guide', and distinguishes itself from siblings like `list_guides` which lists guides without details.
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?
Usage is implied but no explicit when-to-use or alternatives given. The description doesn't mention not to use it for browsing or for getting tool info.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_marathonA

| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | Yes | Marathon ID or slug, e.g. "tokyo", "boston", "berlin2026", "kobe2026" |
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 mentions output includes countdown and Schema.org data, which is helpful, but it does not disclose if the operation is read-only, any side effects, authentication needs, or rate limits. For a simple data retrieval tool, this is minimal but adequate.
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 sentence of 12 words, front-loading the purpose and including key output details. No redundancy or unnecessary content.
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 simplicity (1 param, no output schema), the description adequately conveys the return content ('detailed information, countdown, Schema.org data'). It could be improved by noting the return format or error conditions, but it is largely sufficient.
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 100% coverage with a clear description of the 'id' parameter (Marathon ID or slug with examples). The description does not add extra meaning beyond what the schema provides, so the baseline score of 3 is appropriate.
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 ('detailed information about a specific marathon'), and it adds distinguishing features like 'including countdown and Schema.org data', which differentiates it from sibling tools like list_marathons or marathon_countdown.
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 implies usage for retrieving details of a specific marathon via the required 'id' parameter, but it does not explicitly state when to use this tool over alternatives like list_marathons (for all) or marathon_countdown (for countdown only). No when-not or alternative guidance is provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Scored across 10 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: calculations (pace, HR zones, prediction) and information retrieval (guides, marathons, tools) are separated, with no overlap.
All tools use snake_case with a consistent verb_noun pattern (e.g., calculate_pace, heart_rate_zones, list_marathons), making the set predictable.
With 10 tools, the server covers a reasonable scope for a running resource: calculators, info queries, and listings. Not too sparse or overloaded.
The tool set covers major running needs (pace, HR zones, race prediction, event info). A minor gap is the lack of a calorie calculator, but the domain is well served.
