TDQS

A3.9/5.0

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly=false, idempotent=false, destructive=false, openWorld=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds nothing about consequences of filing — e.g. that repeat calls create duplicate claims (non-idempotent) or that the case then flows through court_argue/court_verdict — which would have been 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.

Conciseness4/5

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

Very short and front-loaded with WHEN before the sibling contrast, and the example aids invocation. The leading 'court_file.' merely repeats the tool name and consumes space without adding information.

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?

With a full input schema, an output schema, and annotations present, the definition supplies the missing selection logic and a call example. Only the post-filing lifecycle and non-idempotency implications are left implicit, which is a minor gap for this complexity.

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 respondent, grounds (with enum), evidence, and key are already documented. The example JSON restates respondent/grounds but adds no meaning about the evidence object's expected shape or how the key is supplied, so it sits at the baseline.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('open a claim against another bot') and immediately differentiates itself from court_argue and court_verdict, so an agent can pick it out of the court_* family without opening any schema.

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 'WHEN' clause and explicit sibling contrast (argue = add text, verdict = judge) give clear selection guidance. It doesn't state prerequisites (registration/key) or when-not-to-file, but the routing intent is unambiguous.

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