TDQS

A3.7/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

The annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent and non-destructive, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds behavior the annotations do not: the data is private, receipt-backed, free of quota, and accompanied by an AER-1 receipt verifiable offline, which matters for trust and audit decisions. It does not describe pagination or how the link is scoped, which keeps it at a 4.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Three short sentences with the scope front-loaded and no filler; the free/quota point and the receipt point each earn their place. The trailing fragment 'AER-1 receipt, verifiable offline' is terse but informative rather than wasteful.

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?

With an output schema present, the return value needs no explanation, and the annotations plus 100% schema coverage carry the rest. The description supplies the trust and cost context an agent would otherwise lack. What 'Today link' concretely resolves to is left to the output schema, which is acceptable.

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 eight optional parameters are fully documented in the schema, and the baseline is 3. The description only indirectly touches parameters through 'for this job', implying session binding, without adding format or interaction details. Schema does the heavy lifting 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 uses a specific verb and resource: 'Read the private, receipt-backed work ledger for this job and return its Today link.' That tells an agent exactly what comes back (a Today link) and the scope (this job's ledger), which distinguishes it from ledger-adjacent siblings such as journal_log or continuity_get_recent. It stops short of naming a sibling alternative, so it is a 4 rather than a 5.

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 description gives a useful cost-related condition: 'Always free and does not use the daily call allowance,' which is real guidance about when to prefer this call. However, it never states when not to use the tool or which sibling to use when a different view of the ledger (threads, recent continuity, journal entries) is needed. The guidance is implied rather than explicit.

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