TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is fully covered by structured data. The description's remaining value is conceptual — it explains that postcoordination adds severity/laterality/anatomy — which aids interpretation but adds no operational behavior (no failure modes, auth, or limits) beyond the annotations.

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-loaded with the core verb+resource sentence, then a compact bulleted clarification of what the tool returns. No filler sentences, though the bullets restate the purpose somewhat rather than adding new information.

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, return values need not be described, and the single required parameter is schema-documented. The description supplies enough domain context (what postcoordination means) for an agent to call it correctly; only routing relative to sibling ICD-11 tools is unaddressed.

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?

Only one parameter with 100% schema description coverage, so the schema already documents 'code' fully. The description adds no syntax, format, or versioning detail about the code beyond what the schema says; baseline 3 applies.

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 verb and resource ('Get postcoordination information for an ICD-11 code') and the bullet list clarifies what 'postcoordination information' concretely means (axes, required/optional, extensions). It implicitly distinguishes itself from lookups like icd11_lookup or icd11_hierarchy, though it never names a sibling to route against.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The 'Use this tool to' bullets give clear use cases (build composite codes, check required vs optional, explore extensions), which is solid context for when to reach for it. There is no explicit when-not guidance or named alternative among the many ICD-11 siblings, so it stops short of a 5.

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