TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare this a safe, idempotent read, so the bar is lower, and the description still adds real context: unread videos answer `not_in_corpus`, and `detail='full'` returns every compiled field as a large payload. Those edge-case and cost traits are not in the schema or annotations.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

Roughly the right length, but it is redundant: 'what happens in it' and 'its beats' appear twice, and the phrase 'By a post's link or Shorti's video_id:' interrupts the field list. Front-loading is fine, but the repetition costs it.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be explained, and annotations carry the safety profile. The description covers both addressing modes and the important not_in_corpus and full-detail behaviors, leaving little an agent needs missing.

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 schema already documents url, lang, detail and video_id, including the enum meanings. The description only re-states that full is large and that lookup accepts a link or id, adding minimal semantics beyond the schema; baseline 3 applies.

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+resource: retrieve one video with its beats, numbers and formats, addressable by post link or Shorti video_id. It is clear enough to distinguish from siblings like shorti_find or shorti_format, though it never names 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?

It implies usage by explaining the two lookup keys ('a post's link or Shorti's video_id') and the `not_in_corpus` outcome, but gives no explicit when-to-use versus shorti_find or shorti_check_link, and no guidance on when brief vs full detail is appropriate beyond a size warning.

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