TDQS

C2.2/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations say readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, openWorldHint=false, implying a non-destructive mutation, but the description adds nothing about side effects, whether checks are idempotent, what state they read or alter, or what 'steward checks' entail. It also doesn't explain the 'token' parameter's role, which matters for an authorization-sensitive operation.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

It is a single efficient sentence with no bloat, but its brevity comes at the cost of substance — the one sentence leaves the essential mechanics unexplained rather than front-loading useful detail.

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 four-parameter, schema-coverage-zero tool with no output schema and mutation-style annotations, the description should explain what is checked, what the token is for, and what a result means. Virtually all of that is absent.

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

Parameters1/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0% across four parameters (token, viewId, spaceId, version), and the description explains none of them. It doesn't even clarify that viewId/version are required or what 'version' refers to (schema version vs. trial iteration).

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?

States a verb ('Run') and a resource ('steward checks for a view trial'), but 'steward checks' and 'view trial' are opaque domain jargon. It does not distinguish this from siblings such as views_list or views_propose, leaving the agent guessing what is actually being checked or produced.

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?

There is no indication of when to call this versus views_propose or views_list, no stated preconditions (e.g., that a trial/version must exist first), and no mention of what happens after the checks run.

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