report_gap

FREE, no account — tell the catalog what you looked for and could not find. The consumer door (roadmap#166): a gap report is how the catalog learns what to add next, and a person reads the queue. One required field.

TDQS

A3.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations only give readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false. The description adds real context beyond them: it's free, requires no account, a human reads the queue, and only one field is required. It does not disclose what happens after (e.g., whether the entry can be edited or retracted, or any response).

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?

Front-loads the most decision-relevant facts (FREE, no account) and stays to three sentences. The 'roadmap#166' / 'consumer door' insider references are slightly wasteful for an agent selecting a tool, but overall it is tight.

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 full schema coverage and no output schema, the description adequately covers purpose and behavioral context for a low-risk submission tool. It's slightly thin on post-submission behavior (whether/how the reporter is notified), though the contact param hints at it.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all six parameters including the enum and which are optional. The description only reinforces 'one required field,' which adds little beyond the schema's required array. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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?

States a specific action and resource: tell the catalog what you looked for and could not find, framed as a 'gap report.' It's clearly distinguishable from report_correction (fixing wrong data) by its consumer/request framing, but never explicitly contrasts with the siblings it overlaps (gap_analysis, submit_feedback, request_check).

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?

Implies the trigger condition (you searched and found nothing / wrong thing / unusable) and notes no account is needed, but gives no explicit when-not or names an alternative tool for adjacent needs like corrections or feature requests. Usage must be inferred from the 'consumer door' framing.

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