TDQS

B3.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is fully covered. The description adds only the auth requirement, which is useful but minimal. It says nothing about side effects such as marking the thread as read, which is the one behavior an agent might care about for a 'get' on a conversation.

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?

Three short, front-loaded fragments with no filler, and the core action leads. The 'Inputs: inbox_id, thread_id.' clause is redundant given a fully documented schema, which is the only wasted element.

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?

Annotations and an output schema exist, so return values and safety need not be explained. The description is still thin for a tool whose main ambiguity is its relationship to cooper_get_thread and cooper_list_sms_threads, and it does not note any read-state side effect.

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 description coverage is 100% and the schema already explains both parameters, including where to obtain them (cooper_list_inboxes, cooper_list_sms_threads). The description merely restates the parameter names in an 'Inputs:' line, adding no meaning beyond the schema; baseline 3 applies.

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 description states a specific verb and resource: 'Read one SMS thread.' The 'SMS' qualifier implicitly separates it from the sibling cooper_get_thread and from the list tool cooper_list_sms_threads. It does not, however, explicitly contrast with those siblings, so a reader must infer the boundary.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

Usage is only implied by 'Read one SMS thread' and the singleton-scoped inputs. There is no statement of when to choose this over cooper_get_thread, cooper_list_sms_threads, or cooper_list_messages, and no prerequisites beyond 'Requires auth.'

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