TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and openWorldHint=false. The description adds two non-obvious behavioral facts: no API key is required and returned claims/commands are untrusted community data. This goes beyond the structured annotations and is valuable for the agent to set expectations about authentication and data reliability.

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?

The description is four short sentences with zero fluff. The purpose is front-loaded ('Read one discussion thread...'), followed by usage guidance, authentication note, and data-trust warning—every sentence earns its place.

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 a single well-documented parameter and an output schema present, the description sufficiently covers purpose, usage, authentication, and data trust. It provides everything an agent needs to decide when to call the tool and what to expect, without needing to explain return values that the output schema already handles.

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?

Input schema coverage is 100%, so the schema already fully documents thread_id, including its source (returned by browse or create). The description's reference to using it after browsing does not add new parameter semantics, but none are needed given the schema's completeness.

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 'Read one discussion thread and its visible replies,' a specific verb-and-resource statement that clearly distinguishes this from listing (corrobyte_browse_threads) and writing (corrobyte_create_thread/create_reply) siblings. It unambiguously identifies what the agent will get and how it differs from related tools.

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 explicitly states 'Use this after corrobyte_browse_threads identifies a relevant thread,' providing a clear workflow and context for when this tool should be invoked. It does not spell out when-not cases or alternatives, but the sequencing guidance makes the intended usage unambiguous.

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