TDQS

B3.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=true, so the delete semantics are fully covered structurally. The description adds the useful context that this is a thin wrapper over the Telerivet REST API (with a docs URL), but says nothing about irreversibility, confirmation expectations, or failure modes for destructive calls.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence with no wasted words and a directly actionable URL. It is efficient, though the brevity borders on under-specification for a destructive tool.

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?

Given full annotations, complete schema coverage, and no output schema, most requirements are met. However a destructive multi-method dispatcher would benefit from stating that deletions are permanent and that method_name should be validated first; those omissions leave it only minimally complete.

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% and both parameters (method_name enum, arguments object) are documented inline, including pointers to list_api_methods and get_method_schema. The description adds no parameter meaning beyond that, so baseline 3 applies.

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?

States a specific verb+resource: executes a Telerivet REST API method that deletes data. The 'deletes data' framing distinguishes it from read_api/modify_api/send_api in spirit, but the description never names those siblings to make the routing explicit.

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?

No when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance at all; there is no mention of choosing this over modify_api or read_api, nor of preconditions such as resolving method_name via list_api_methods or get_method_schema. The only hint is the enum of delete-style method names in the schema, which is structured data rather than description guidance.

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