TDQS

A3.7/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is fully covered. The description adds content-scope context (three roadmap stages, hosted version) but says nothing about freshness, volatility, or format. With a zero-parameter, annotation-covered tool, this is an adequate but modest addition.

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 sentence with no filler, front-loading the three roadmap horizons and tucking the waitlist context into a clarifying parenthetical. Every clause earns its place.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a zero-argument, read-only tool whose annotations carry the safety profile, the description tells the agent what content comes back, which is the only real unknown. No output schema exists, but a roadmap payload needs little more explanation; only the ordering/format of the returned items is left implicit.

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

Parameters4/5

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

The tool takes zero parameters, which is the baseline-4 case: there is nothing for the description to disambiguate beyond confirming the call is unconditional. No gaps here.

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?

The description states a specific resource (the Bureau roadmap) and breaks down its content into three concrete time horizons — today, next, later — plus the hosted version the waitlist targets. That is far more specific than a restatement of the title, though it does not explicitly position itself against siblings like about_bureau or get_faq.

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?

Usage is only implied: an agent can infer this is the tool for 'what's coming / future plans' questions, and the parenthetical about the waitlist hints at a hosted-version use case. There is no explicit when-to-use statement, no exclusion, and no pointer to about_bureau for present-state questions.

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