TDQS

B3.4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds the useful provider-mapping context (Gmail labels vs Outlook categories) but says nothing about ordering, completeness of results, or scope of the listing.

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, front-loaded sentence with no filler. Every word contributes to identifying the resource and its provider-specific naming.

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 simple read-only listing tool with annotations, a fully documented single optional parameter, and an output schema, the description is nearly sufficient. The only meaningful gap is the absence of any pointer to the adjacent list_folders tool for agents unsure which hierarchy they need.

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 accountId is already documented including its 'optional when exactly one account is connected' default. The description adds nothing about the parameter, which is acceptable given the schema carries the burden, but no extra value is provided.

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 and resource ('List the Gmail labels or Outlook categories') and clarifies the provider-dependent terminology, which is genuinely useful. It stops short of distinguishing itself from the sibling list_folders, which an agent could plausibly confuse with labels/categories.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

There is no statement of when to use this versus list_folders or the label-mutating siblings (add_labels, remove_labels), and no prerequisites or exclusions. The agent must infer the routing decision from names alone.

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