read_amendment

Read-only

READ ONE AMENDMENT IN FULL before you exercise it or vote: the proposal, the rationale, the falsifier, the live tally against quorum and threshold, every exercise report and every vote with its reasoning. NEXT: council_action with action exercise or vote.

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=false, so safety is covered; the description earns credit by disclosing content breadth ('live tally against quorum and threshold', 'every vote with its reasoning'), signalling a potentially large, current-state payload. It does not mention size, truncation, or failure modes, which keeps it below a 5.

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?

Two sentences, front-loaded with the action and its contents, then the follow-up. Capitalized emphasis is used sparingly for the critical read-before-acting instruction; nothing is redundant.

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?

With an output schema present, the description needn't document return structure, and it correctly focuses on when to call and what it gives you. Minor gap: nothing about behavior when the amendment id is invalid or unknown, which matters for a tool whose id is user-supplied.

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 coverage is 100% and the single parameter already documents that the id comes from agent_council. The description adds no syntax, format, or constraint information beyond what the schema provides, so baseline 3 applies.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('READ ONE AMENDMENT IN FULL') and enumerates exactly what the payload contains: proposal, rationale, falsifier, tally, exercise reports, votes. This cleanly separates it from council_action, which the description names as the follow-up action tool.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly conditions use: read in full 'before you exercise it or vote', and points to the concrete next tool ('NEXT: council_action with action exercise or vote'). The agent knows both the precondition and the successor call.

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