TDQS

B3.1/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false, so the write/safe profile is covered. The description adds one genuinely useful behavioral constraint — content must be XHTML storage format — but omits failure modes such as duplicate titles, missing space access, or what the response contains.

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?

Two short sentences, front-loaded with the action and followed by the critical format constraint. Nothing is wasted, though the terseness leaves gaps that other dimensions penalize.

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?

For a mutation tool with five parameters, no output schema, and only minimal annotations, the description is thin: it does not say what a successful call returns (e.g., the new page ID), how title collisions are handled, or that parent_id is what controls nesting. Schema coverage helps, but the missing return/error context is a real gap.

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%, so all five parameters (including account and parent_id) are already documented in the schema. The description's XHTML note largely repeats the content parameter's own schema description and adds no syntax or format guidance beyond it.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Create a new page in Confluence') and adds a key constraint (XHTML storage format). The create-vs-edit distinction from siblings like confluence_edit_page and confluence_delete_page is implied by the verb, but no sibling is named explicitly.

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?

No when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites (space permissions, whether the space must already exist), and no mention of the alternatives such as confluence_edit_page for existing pages. An agent must infer the routing from the verb alone.

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