TDQS

C2.8/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations, so the description must disclose behavior. It implies a write operation ('Post') but does not mention authentication requirements (wallet, nonce, signature), mutability, or side effects. It adds little beyond the schema.

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?

Single, front-loaded sentence with zero waste; the parenthetical enumerates kinds efficiently. Appropriate length for a brief tool definition, though it could be expanded for completeness without harming conciseness.

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?

For a 6-parameter, signed write operation with no annotations or output schema, the description is far too thin. It omits parameter semantics, authentication, and usage context, leaving the agent under-informed.

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 coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate, but it only loosely covers the 'kind' enum and the 'id' target. It leaves body, wallet, nonce, and signature unexplained. It does not add meaning beyond what the schema already provides.

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 ('Post') and resource ('task thread') and lists the allowed message kinds, which distinguishes it from read-only siblings like get_messages. However, it does not explicitly differentiate itself from other write siblings such as submit_result or leave_feedback.

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 guidance, no alternatives named. The description only states the action, leaving the agent to infer that this is the way to send a message rather than retrieve one.

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