TDQS

A3.8/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already establish read-only, open-world, and idempotent behavior. The description adds meaningful context beyond those by specifying that the chart is framed on exactly the trading-day window and that the operation takes 20-40 seconds. No contradiction exists.

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?

The description is two short sentences with no wasted words. The core purpose is front-loaded, and the latency warning earns its place as an operational hint.

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 tool with a rich input schema, safety annotations, and an output schema, the description covers the main operational facts: what it captures, the window framing, and the expected delay. It could be slightly more complete by mentioning when to choose this over get_range_chart, but that gap does not undermine correct invocation.

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%, so the input schema already documents all five parameters with defaults, examples, and meanings. The description does not need to add parameter-level detail, and does not, 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.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a specific verb ('Screenshot') and resource ('TradingView chart'), and adds a key scoping detail about the trading-day window. It is clear, though it does not explicitly differentiate itself from sibling tools like get_range_chart.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies when to use the tool: whenever a screenshot of a TradingView chart is needed, especially one aligned to a trading-day window. It provides no explicit when-not-to-use guidance or alternatives, and the latency note is useful but does not help with sibling selection.

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