  4. First observed

TDQS

B3/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and non-destructive behavior, lowering the burden on the description. The description adds useful behavioral context with 'semantic static' and 'one exact symbol,' but it does not explain matching behavior, result shape, or pagination implications 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?

The description is a single sentence that opens with the action and object, contains no filler, and communicates the core distinction in a short sentence. It is optimally front-loaded for an agent scanning tool descriptions.

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?

Despite having an output schema and favorable annotations, the description omits the required input-mode choice between files and snapshot and does not explain pagination or compact output. For a six-parameter tool with zero schema descriptions, this is a significant completeness gap.

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%, so the description must carry parameter meaning, but it only clarifies the 'symbol' parameter. The key files/snapshot one-of contract, limit, offset, and compact are left undocumented; an agent cannot learn their semantics from the description or schema descriptions.

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 names a specific verb ('return') and resource ('semantic static references to one exact compiler symbol'), so an agent immediately knows this is a reference-lookup tool. It does not explicitly contrast with sibling tools like get_definition or get_importers, but the phrasing is distinct enough to establish core purpose.

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?

The description gives no guidance on when to choose this tool over siblings such as get_imports, get_definition, or get_symbol_context, and it does not state any exclusions. An agent must infer usage from the name and one-line description alone.

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