  4. First observed

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is fully covered. The description adds that the operation is scoped to the 'signed-in' user and lists the specific profile fields returned, which is modest but useful context beyond annotations. It does not describe side effects, rate limits, or error behavior, which is acceptable given the read-only annotations.

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?

The description is a single, front-loaded sentence that starts with the verb 'Read' and then enumerates the relevant data points. Every word earns its place: there is no filler, repetition, or unnecessary explanation. It is appropriately sized for a zero-parameter read tool.

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 simple, no-parameter read operation with a full output schema and comprehensive read-only annotations, the description is complete. It states the scope (signed-in profile), the key data categories, and sufficient context for an agent to invoke it correctly. Nothing essential is missing.

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 per the rubric the baseline is 4. The description does not need to add parameter semantics, and it correctly does not introduce any. There is no gap to compensate for.

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?

The description states a specific verb ('Read') and resource ('signed-in Synoptic profile') and enumerates the exact fields returned: email address, onboarding status, terminal access request status. The phrase 'signed-in' distinguishes it from siblings like get_user and get_user_by_id, which likely target arbitrary users. An agent can tell what this tool does and when it differs from other profile-related tools without opening the schema.

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?

The description gives clear context: this reads the *signed-in* user's own profile, implying it should be used when the current user's identity or access status is needed. It does not explicitly name alternatives (e.g., get_user for other users) or state exclusions, so it falls short of a 5. The context is nevertheless clear enough that an agent can infer appropriate usage.

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