TDQS

C2.4/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden and largely fails it: it does not say the action is a public write, does not mention the bot_key/Authorization auth requirement surfaced in the schema, and gives no rate limits, moderation, or editability context. Only the weak implication of 'share' hints at publishing.

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?

A single short sentence, front-loaded and free of filler, which is structurally clean. It is arguably under-specified rather than verbose, but the sizing itself is appropriate.

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?

For a 4-parameter write tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description omits auth requirements, content formatting expectations, and the title/description field semantics. It is too thin to let an agent invoke the tool correctly without guessing.

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 50% — url and bot_key are documented, but title and description are not, including their 140/3500 character limits. The description adds no parameter meaning at all, so it fails to compensate for the undocumented half.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose3/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states an action ('share') and a target ('the "Show your creations" topic'), so the general intent is inferable, but it never says this creates a forum post nor how it differs from sibling posting tools like lounge_post or lounge_thread. An agent cannot tell from the text alone which posting tool applies to a given request.

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?

There is no when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites, and no mention of alternatives. The only implicit cue is the phrase 'something you made', which loosely hints at the content type but gives no selection criteria against the other lounge_* or bot_* siblings.

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