TDQS

B3.4/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true, idempotentHint=true, openWorldHint=true and readOnlyHint=false, so the risk profile is known. The description adds nothing beyond that: it does not say that only the supplied fields change, that resuming recalculates the next send time, or what happens to paused reminders in the interim — all of which is covered by the schema, not the prose. The description is essentially a restatement of the parameter names.

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?

A single short sentence that front-loads the operations and lists the mutable fields with zero filler. Nothing is padded or repeated.

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?

With 7 parameters fully documented in the schema, rich annotations, and no output schema to explain, little more is strictly required. The remaining gap is minor: the description does not say that all optional fields are applied as a partial update, though the schema hints at this for time_zone.

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%, and the parameters carry their own semantics (e.g. 'paused: no emails; active: from the next time after now', 'Left out: the current one stays'), so the baseline of 3 applies. The description's field list mirrors the schema without adding any detail about formats, defaults, or interactions between fields.

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 names a specific verb set (pause, resume, change) tied to a specific resource (a reminder), and enumerates the mutable facets: text, rule, time zone. That is enough to distinguish it from reminder_create, reminder_delete and reminder_list among the siblings, though it does not name any of them explicitly.

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 list of supported operations implies when the tool applies, but there is no explicit guidance on prerequisites (a reminder_id from reminder_create or reminder_list), no statement about when to use reminder_delete instead of pausing, and no mention that at least one of the optional fields should be supplied.

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