TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true, non-idempotent, non-readOnly, so safety profile is covered by structured data. The description adds little beyond what annotations provide, though 'settle a match' hints at finality. It does not explain reversibility or what data a status change affects.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence with zero waste. Every word earns its place and the main action is stated first.

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?

The tool is a mutation with subtle implications (settling a match changes tournament standings and stage progression), yet the description does not mention downstream effects or whether the fixture must be in a particular state. With an output schema present, return values need not be explained, but the behavioral context for a destructive update is thin.

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 all six parameters are already documented in the schema, including status enum values and winner semantics for walkover. The description only names 'score and status' generically, adding no syntax or format detail beyond the schema baseline.

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 (update) and resource (fixture) with the fields ('score and status') and an example motivation ('settle a match'). It does not name the sibling get_fixture as the read alternative, but the purpose is clear enough to distinguish from list/get tools.

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?

The parenthetical 'settle a match' implies a primary use case, but there is no explicit when-to-use vs when-not-to-use guidance, no mention of prerequisites, and no routing to alternative tools for reading the fixture first.

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