  4. First observed

TDQS

C2.5/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is fully supplied by structured data. The description's only addition is "with the total count", which hints at a return field but leaves the response shape, pagination behavior and default page size unexplained.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

One short clause with no filler, so nothing is wasted, but the terseness crosses into under-specification rather than efficient concision. The single permitted extra detail (total count) is buried after a comma with no explanation of how it is returned.

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?

This is a five-parameter list tool with nested objects (query, sort) and no output schema, so the return shape depends entirely on prose that does not exist. Nothing is said about default ordering, what an 'alert state' record contains, or how the total count relates to the page size.

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 80%, so skip, limit ("Default: 10, maximum: 100"), sort, query and select are already documented in the schema. The description adds no meaning about these parameters, which is acceptable at this coverage level but is the bare baseline.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose3/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description names a verb ("List") and resource ("Alert States"), so the basic operation is identifiable, but it is essentially a restatement of the tool name plus one clause. It does nothing to distinguish this from the crowded siblings count_alert_states, get_alert_state, list_alert_state_timelines, or list_incident_states, so an agent gets no help choosing among them.

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?

There is no when-to-use guidance at all: no mention of when to prefer this over count_alert_states (which only counts) or list_alert_state_timelines (which lists history). The agent must infer the distinction from the tool names alone.

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