TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

The description adds meaningful behavioral context beyond the annotations: posts 'fire sequentially,' the time is 'shown in the customer's local timezone,' and it names an authorization requirement ('Requires Allow posting'). It does not contradict the annotations, and the destructiveHint is not undermined by the text.

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 compact and front-loaded with the core purpose, then provides practical usage and behavioral details in a few short sentences. Every sentence earns its place.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a 5-parameter tool with an output schema, annotations, and sibling separation, the description covers purpose, prerequisites, behavior, and alternatives. Nothing critical is missing for an agent to select and invoke this tool correctly.

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 coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds a little extra context such as 'finished run' and platform values, but it mostly restates information already in the schema (platforms, scheduled_at, timezone).

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description opens with a specific action and resource: 'Schedule a finished run to post at scheduled_at (ISO-8601).' It clearly distinguishes the tool from its sibling post_run by stating 'Prefer this over post_run when the user names a time,' so an agent can tell them apart.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

The description explicitly says when to use this tool over post_run ('when the user names a time'), and points to create_campaign as an alternative ('On create_campaign you can pass scheduled_at instead'). It also states a prerequisite ('Requires Allow posting').

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