  2. First observed

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Beyond annotations (readOnlyHint false, destructiveHint false), the description adds that the payment date defaults to now, but it does not disclose side effects such as idempotency, whether already-paid invoices error, or whether any related records are updated.

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 a single, direct sentence with no redundant phrasing, making it easy to parse.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a simple state-change tool, the description covers the essential intent and parameter semantics. It does not describe the return value or error conditions, but given the output schema exists and the action is straightforward, this is adequate.

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

Parameters5/5

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

Both parameters have clear descriptions: invoice_id is identified as the Sent or Overdue invoice UUID, and paid_at includes format and default behavior. This fully compensates for the schema's technical patterns.

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 clearly states the action (Mark) and the target resource (a Sent or Overdue invoice as Paid). It distinguishes this from siblings like cancel_invoice or issue_invoice by specifying the state transition.

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 implies when to use it (on Sent or Overdue invoices) but does not explicitly mention preconditions like verifying the current state or that it should not be used on already-paid invoices. It does clarify the optional payment date default.

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