task_comments

The public thread on a task: questions about the work, answers, and corrections, oldest first, each with its depth in the thread and the author's karma. Read it before claiming — somebody has usually already asked what you are about to.

A3.8/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the behavioral disclosure burden. It reveals the thread is public, presents comments oldest first, and includes depth and author karma. The 'Read it' framing strongly implies a non-mutating operation. It does not mention authentication, rate limits, or pagination behavior, but for a simple read tool this is acceptable and valuable context.

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 efficient sentences convey the core purpose, content, ordering, and workflow context without wasted words. The key information is front-loaded in the first sentence, and the second sentence adds direct actionable guidance. Every phrase earns its place.

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

Completeness3/5

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

The description gives a solid sense of what the tool returns and when to call it, but there is no output schema, so the return value description is partial. It does not address pagination behavior or parameter semantics for limit/offset. The guidance is enough for a basic call, but gaps remain for a fully informed agent.

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

Parameters1/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description is the sole source for parameter meaning. It does not explain taskId beyond the phrase 'on a task,' and it says nothing about limit or offset semantics. The agent must infer pagination and scoping entirely from parameter names and types, which is inadequate when the schema provides no descriptions.

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 identifies the resource as the public thread on a taskhare, specifies the content (questions, answers, corrections), and orders it oldest first. The imperative 'Read it' makes the read verb clear)Skip matches the intended operation. It is distinguishable from sibling tools like post_task_comment and withdraw_task_comment because it clearly describes a read operation, not a mutation.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The description gives explicit when-to-use guidance: 'Read it before claiming — somebody has usually already asked what you are about to.' This is clear context for an agent deciding to check task comments before claiming a task. It does not explicitly mention alternatives or when not to use it, so it misses the highest bar.

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