TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so 'Does not modify it' largely restates the structured data. The description does add the useful scope detail that the lookup is confined to the authenticated workspace, but it says nothing about behavior on a missing or unauthorized identifier, which is the real unknown for a lookup tool.

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?

Two short sentences with the resource and scope front-loaded and no filler. The second sentence is nearly redundant with the annotations, which is the only inefficiency.

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 one-parameter read-only lookup with full annotation coverage and no output schema, the description is close to sufficient. The remaining gaps, identifier format and not-found behavior, are modest but real for an agent that must construct the call.

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 0% for the single id parameter, so the description carries real weight here. It clarifies that id identifies a sender within the authenticated workspace, but gives no format, type constraints, or examples (UUID, slug, numeric), leaving the caller guessing at the expected value.

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 verb (Retrieve) and resource (saved sender settings) scoped to the authenticated workspace and keyed by identifier, which distinguishes it from save_sender and list_senders implicitly via the singular identifier lookup. It stops short of explicitly naming the sibling it is not, so it is clear but not fully differentiated.

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: 'by its identifier' suggests fetching one known sender, and the presence of list_senders as a sibling makes the split reasonably inferable. However, there is no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use statement, and no guidance on what to do if the identifier is unknown.

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