Read-onlyIdempotent

QUICK statistical snapshot for ONE table — row count, null rates, cardinality, numeric min/max/avg, date ranges. Optionally drill into a specific column. Use this for a fast at-a-glance read. Use data_profile instead when the user wants a FULL quality report including PII detection and a health score.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
tableYesTable name to analyze
columnNoSpecific column to deep-analyze
connectionNoTarget connection name from this tenant's inventory. Call `list_connections` to see every name + dialect, then match semantically to the user's intent (e.g. 'analytics' → a connection named `*-analytics-*`; 'prod' → a connection with `prod-` prefix). If the user didn't specify, use the tenant's default (first added). Do not invent names — resolve from `list_connections` output.

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and openWorldHint, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds meaningful behavioral context by framing this as a lightweight/fast operation contrasted with the heavier full-profile sibling, though it says nothing about latency, rate limits, or cost beyond the 'QUICK' framing.

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?

Three tight sentences: the value proposition and outputs lead, then the usage context, then the alternative-tool routing. Nothing is wasted and the most decision-relevant content is front-loaded.

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

Completeness5/5

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

With annotations covering safety, a full output schema covering return values, and 100% schema coverage of parameters, the description only needs to establish purpose and routing. It does both completely, leaving no gap an agent needs to fill before calling.

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 all three parameters are documented in the schema itself. The description only nudges the optional column param ('Optionally drill into a specific column'), adding minimal meaning beyond what the schema already conveys, which matches the baseline 3.

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 opens with a specific verb and resource ('QUICK statistical snapshot for ONE table') and enumerates the concrete outputs (row count, null rates, cardinality, min/max/avg, date ranges). It is immediately distinguishable from siblings, especially data_profile, which it names explicitly.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

It states the use condition ('fast at-a-glance read') and the exclusion plus alternative ('Use data_profile instead when the user wants a FULL quality report including PII detection and a health score'). This is explicit when-to-use and when-to-use-something-else routing.

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