Publish a live timeline

visualize_schedule
Destructive

Publish a program as a live, shareable timeline (a public share link) and return its URL, with an ASCII Gantt and an itinerary. For a schedule the user wants to follow or share ('plan this so it all finishes at 6', 'when do I start each thing'). Validates first and refuses an invalid program with fix hints.

  4. First observed

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Adds useful behavior beyond the annotations: it validates before publishing, refuses invalid programs with fix hints, and creates a public share link. The annotations already signal destructive/open-world behavior, so the description does not need to restate those; it could still mention the allowInvalid exception or permanence of publication, but the key behavioral traits are disclosed.

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?

Three short sentences front-load the primary action and output, then give usage intent and validation behavior. Every sentence earns its place without repeating the schema.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a two-parameter tool with an output schema and annotations, the description is complete: it covers what the tool does, what it returns, when to use it, and how it handles invalid input. No critical selection or invocation detail is missing.

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%, so the schema already describes program and allowInvalid. The description adds context about validation and publishing intent but not new parameter-level meaning; baseline 3 is appropriate.

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: 'Publish a program as a live, shareable timeline' and tells exactly what is returned (URL, ASCII Gantt, itinerary). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like preview_timeline, validate_program, and analyze_schedule, since publishing/sharing is a distinct action.

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?

Provides a clear target scenario: 'For a schedule the user wants to follow or share', with concrete user phrasings ('plan this so it all finishes at 6'). It does not explicitly name alternatives or state when not to use the tool, so it stops short of full routing guidance.

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