TDQS

A3.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint=false, openWorldHint=false), and the description adds genuinely non-obvious behavior: stored text is token-budgeted and paginated via a paragraph cursor specifically so long documents don't flood agent context. That is useful operational context beyond the annotations, though it doesn't mention default token limits or how the cursor terminates.

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?

Two tight sentences with zero waste; the core action is front-loaded and the pagination/token behavior follows immediately. Every sentence earns its place.

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 no explanation, and the safety profile is covered by annotations. The description supplies the one piece an agent could not infer – the token-budgeted, cursor-based retrieval model – making it largely complete, with only minor gaps around max_tokens defaults and cursor termination.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 50% – id and include_content are documented in-schema, while cursor and max_tokens are not. The description compensates by explaining the purpose of both (paragraph cursor for long documents, token budget for context control), giving semantics for the undocumented parameters, though it stops short of describing cursor step size or the max_tokens default.

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?

States a specific verb ("Read") and resource ("one library item by id"), so an agent knows exactly what it does. However, it does not distinguish itself from near-neighbors like get_article, get_library_item/get_library_object, or search_saved_item, leaving sibling disambiguation to the id semantics.

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?

Provides no when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites, and no alternatives such as search_saved_item for lookup-by-query versus this tool's lookup-by-id. Usage context is only weakly implied by "by id."

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