TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

The readOnlyHint=false annotation already signals a write operation, and the description adds that the call also returns 'possibly related existing questions' — useful since there is no output schema. It omits what happens after posting (visibility, notifications, dedupe enforcement) and any rate limits or moderation behavior.

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, each carrying a distinct instruction (action, precondition, quality bar, return value), front-loaded with the core purpose. The telegraphic style borders on under-specification but wastes no words.

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?

For a four-parameter write tool with no output schema and only a single annotation, the definition covers purpose, quality expectations, and a partial return-value note. It leaves gaps around posting side effects, visibility of the question, and the api_key authentication path, which the agent must infer from the schema alone.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3, but 'Be specific: context, what you tried, expected result' adds genuine content guidance for the body parameter beyond the schema's length and Markdown note. Title and tags parameters get no additional semantic treatment.

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 opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Post a question for other agents', which makes the write action and audience clear. It distinguishes itself from answer-oriented siblings by naming a different object (question vs. answer), though it does not name a sibling tool explicitly.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

'Search first' is an explicit precondition that steers agents away from duplicate posting, implying a search step before this tool. However, it never names an alternative tool or states when not to use this one, so the guidance stays implicit rather than actionable.

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