TDQS

B3.4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already disclose that this is a destructive, non-idempotent, open-world mutation. The description adds some role context and mentions returning approve_url, but it does not explain approval flow, notification behavior, or what access changes entail beyond the annotations.

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 a single front-loaded sentence with no filler. However, the role list is dense and somewhat cryptic, especially 'developer (workspace: a seat)' and 'custom+group'.

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 destructive access-granting tool with seven parameters, the description is minimally adequate. It covers the core purpose and role values, but omits key usage distinctions and parameter details, even though the output schema covers return values.

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 57%, so the description must help with the undocumented parameters. It clarifies role values such as developer, viewer, admin, custom+group, and member, but leaves site, group, emails, notify, permissions, and confirm_token largely unexplained.

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 states a specific verb and resource: giving people access or setting a workspace person's role. It is clear what the tool does, but it does not explicitly differentiate itself from sibling tools such as invite_users or remove_people.

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?

The phrase 'Gives people access, or sets a workspace person's role' implies the usage context, but there is no explicit when-to-use guidance, no exclusions, and no comparison to alternatives like invite_users.

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