TDQS

C2.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

The annotations already declare this as destructive, non-idempotent, and not read-only. The description adds useful context with "ATOMIC" and a price of "$0.02 USDC," but it does not explain what exactly is locked or reserved, what the destructive hint implies, or how TTL expiry affects the reservation.

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

Conciseness2/5

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

The description is short but fragmented and poorly front-loaded. The irrelevant output-field detail ("an object with 19 fields including agent_id, algorithm") does not earn its place, especially since an output schema exists.

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?

With an output schema and annotations present, the description still needs to clarify the reservation lifecycle, TTL behavior, and relationship to settlement or release tools. It omits these while spending space on output shape and a vague routing claim.

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 100%, so the schema already fully documents amount, intent, agent_id, and ttl_seconds. The description mentions agent_id but also mentions "algorithm," which is not an input parameter, and adds no meaningful input semantics beyond the schema.

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 states a specific verb and resource ("reserve_governance_budget") and adds "ATOMIC reserved lease," which clarifies the operation. However, the phrase "an object with 19 fields including agent_id, algorithm" is irrelevant to the tool's purpose and muddies rather than sharpens it.

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?

It says to use this rather than `settle_governance_budget` for governance budget specifically, but settlement is usually a follow-on lifecycle step, not an alternative to reservation. It gives no clear when-not-to-use guidance or prerequisites such as budget availability checks.

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