TDQS

D1.3/5.0
Behavior2/5

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 only mentions billing per call, which is a minor cost trait, but it does not explain whether this is a read operation, what it returns, or what parameters affect behavior.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness2/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is short, but under-specification is not true conciseness. It contains almost no useful information and the billing sentence does little to justify the tool.

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

Completeness1/5

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

With 7 undocumented parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is desperately incomplete. The agent cannot realistically infer what this tool does, how to call it, or when to select it.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters1/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0%, all 7 parameters lack any definitions, and the description does not compensate. Parameter names like t, show, and before are ambiguous without documentation.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose1/5

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

The description 'Top Group: Explore' is vague and does not state a specific verb or resource. It does not explain what 'get_top' retrieves or how it differs from the many sibling listing tools. The only concrete statement is a billing note.

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

Usage Guidelines1/5

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

There is no guidance about when to use this tool versus alternatives like get_best, get_hot, or get_new. The description fails to mention any use case, criteria, or exclusions.

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

D1.9/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool targets a distinct resource and action combination (e.g., get_hot vs get_subreddit_hot vs get_user_posts). The scope is clearly delineated by prefixes like 'get_subreddit' and 'get_user', making it easy for an agent to pick the right tool.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools follow the consistent 'get_<resource>_<modifier>' pattern using snake_case. Even get_by_id fits the general get_ prefix style. The naming is uniform and predictable across 31 tools.

Tool Count2/5

With 31 tools, the count exceeds the 25+ threshold considered too many. While Reddit has many read endpoints, this server covers only GET operations and still feels bloated, especially with multiple near-duplicate sort variants. It could be consolidated.

Completeness2/5

The tool surface is entirely read-only (only get_* operations). For a Reddit integration, obvious write operations like posting, commenting, voting, and moderation actions are missing. This creates significant gaps for many use cases and limits the server to exploration only.
