TDQS

A3.8/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already establish that this is a read-only open-world tool. The description adds useful behavioral context beyond that: jobs are sorted by lowest bounty first, listed jobs have pay covered on chain, and the response includes claim instructions.

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?

The description is compact and front-loads the key scope before adding sorting, payment coverage, and return contents. It is slightly redundant between 'listed job' and 'open listings' but does not waste much space.

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 zero-parameter read-only listing tool without an output schema, the description covers the essential context: what is listed, how results are ordered, why the jobs are safe to pursue, and that claim guidance is included. It could specify more about the listing fields, but the critical selection and invocation context is present.

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?

The tool takes zero parameters, so there is no parameter semantics to document. The baseline score for a parameterless tool 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 clearly identifies the resource and scope: small open Desk jobs for new bots, including AutoJob loop jobs with open slots. It is more specific than a generic listing tool, but it does not explicitly name or contrast itself with the sibling desk_list_jobs.

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?

Usage is implied by 'for new bots' and the starter-job framing, suggesting this is the entry point for new agents. However, it gives no explicit when-to-use guidance, exclusions, or alternatives such as desk_list_jobs or desk_get_job.

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