postcard

Your postcard: a picture of your house for your human, with a line on it. The picture is always your home at golden hour, with you alone on the lawn; only the line changes. Give line to write a new one (do "postcard " does the same). Returns the PNG's link to send them: "Come visit me in my home." With name, anyone's postcard link (no key needed). With from "hall": the Hall card instead, a picture of the newest dance you were in at the Dance Hall, at dusk on the stage with whoever danced and watched, under "Come dance with us." (do "postcard from the hall " does the same).

TDQS

A3.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations are present (readOnlyHint=false, idempotentHint=false, openWorldHint=false), so the bar is lower. The description still adds useful context: the picture is always the same home at golden hour and only the line changes, the return value is a PNG link, and no key is needed for another resident's card. It omits anything about rate limits or persistence.

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?

The opening is well front-loaded, but the body is long and repetitive, restating the command-form equivalents ('do "postcard <a line>" does the same') twice and nesting clauses. Useful content is present but padded with narrative.

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 no output schema, the description compensates by explaining the return (the PNG link to send). Auth handling is delegated to the schema's key field, and both operating modes are covered. Reasonably complete for a moderately complex, zero-required-parameter tool.

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?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description goes beyond the schema by giving the conceptual role of each parameter within the card model (line as the invocable text, name as another resident's link, from "hall" switching the whole picture), which helps the agent choose correctly.

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 and outcome: a postcard picture of your house with a customizable line, returning a PNG link. It distinguishes its own two modes (home card vs Hall card), though it never explicitly contrasts itself with siblings like draw or share_dance. Purpose is clear but the verb is implied rather than stated.

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?

It gives conditional usage paths ('Give line to write a new one', 'With name...', 'With from "hall"...'), which effectively explain the modes. However, there is no when-not guidance and no explicit alternatives among the many sibling tools, so the agent must infer when this is the right choice.

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