TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden and does well: it discloses that nothing downstream is triggered, that a private follow token grants read/change rights on the session, and that only the SHA-256 digest is stored — a meaningful security model an agent could not infer elsewhere. It stops short of stating creation side effects like whether an existing session is reused or what happens on a duplicate idea.

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?

Four short sentences, all load-bearing, with the scope statement and the 'nothing else is started' guarantee front-loaded where the agent needs them. Slight overlap between 'free co-invention session' and 'Free concept selection only' costs it the top mark.

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?

The output schema means return values needn't be explained, but for a 4-parameter creation tool with a nested object and zero schema coverage, the description leaves the agent guessing what to put in each field. It covers scope and the token security model well while neglecting the inputs almost entirely.

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?

Schema description coverage is 0% across 4 required parameters, including a nested agent object with name and platform, so the description must compensate and it does not. The mention of a 'private follow token' is about the returned credential, not the required open_key input, leaving idea, domain, agent, and open_key entirely undifferentiated beyond their raw constraints.

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?

The first sentence states a specific verb and resource (open a co-invention session) and immediately scopes it to concept selection only. The sentence 'No research, model run, payment, procurement or manufacture is started' separates it from the heavier siblings like prepare_simulation_study or request_physical_solution, though it never names those siblings explicitly.

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?

'Free concept selection only' plus the list of activities that are NOT started gives the agent a clear sense of when this lightweight opener is appropriate versus heavier workflows. What is missing is explicit routing to the related session siblings (follow_, feed_, steer_, decide_, end_) that would tell the agent what comes next.

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