TDQS

D1.7/5.0
Behavior1/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It only states a fact about keys bound to an account, with no mention of side effects, permissions, return format, or any behavioral traits. It is extremely sparse and fails to disclose even basic read-only behavior.

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?

The description is a single short sentence, which is concise in terms of word count. However, it is under-specified and does not effectively front-load key information. The brevity sacrifices necessary detail, so while it is not verbose, it is not appropriately informative.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given the tool's simplicity (one parameter, no output schema, no annotations), a short description could be sufficient if it clearly stated the operation and parameter semantics. However, this description is too vague and incomplete to allow an agent to confidently invoke the tool correctly. It lacks a clear action and parameter guidance.

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

Parameters2/5

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

The schema has one required parameter 'owner' with no description, and schema coverage is 0%. The description links 'owner' to an account, which provides a minimal semantic connection, but it does not explain expected format, constraints, or usage. It adds only a slight hint and does not compensate for the lack of schema documentation.

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

Purpose2/5

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

The description is a noun phrase ('The keys bound to an account') rather than an action. It does not explicitly state that the tool lists or retrieves keys, so the purpose is ambiguous. It is not a tautology but lacks a clear verb and does not distinguish it from bind_key.

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

Usage Guidelines1/5

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

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention any exclusions, prerequisites, or conditions for selection. The description offers no context to help an agent choose this tool over siblings.

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