B3.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare read-only, idempotent, closed-world, non-destructive behavior, so safety is covered. The description usefully adds that only status metadata is returned and no notes/reports leak, but says nothing about pagination, ordering, or whether results persist across other events.

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?

Two short sentences with no filler, and the scope disclosure is front-loaded with the purpose. The wording 'persisted comprehensive task IDs' is slightly awkward but not wasteful.

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?

An output schema exists so return values needn't be explained, and annotations cover safety for this simple two-param list tool. Still, the description is silent on pagination semantics and result ordering, which matter for a list endpoint the agent may need to page through.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0% for the two parameters (limit, offset), leaving the description as the only place to add meaning, and it adds none. It never mentions pagination paging windows, defaults, or ordering, so an agent gets no guidance beyond the bare parameter names.

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 and resource ('Find persisted comprehensive task IDs') and scopes the output to status metadata rather than notes or reports, which distinguishes it from report-oriented siblings like research_get_report. The phrase 'comprehensive task IDs' is jargon-y but the intent is inferable.

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?

'After reconnect' gives a situational trigger for calling this, and the exclusion of 'private notes or reports' hints at when a sibling is better. However, no sibling is named explicitly (e.g., research_task_status for a single task, research_get_report for content), so the agent must infer the boundary.

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