  3. First observed

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds meaningful behavioral context: the PDF is 'short-lived', the report must be 'authorized', and the in-app link is 'exact highlighted'. It also clarifies that the tool only provides URLs, not the actual file contents, which is useful behavioral information 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.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Three sentences with zero waste. The core purpose is front-loaded in the first sentence, the alternative use case is in the second, and the prerequisite is in the third. Every sentence earns its place.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a single-parameter read-only tool with an output schema, the description is complete. It covers what the tool returns (PDF URL + in-app link), when to use it, when not to use it, and the prerequisite. The output schema handles return value details, so nothing an agent needs to call it correctly is missing.

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% and the only parameter (reportId) is described as 'Report ID from list_reports'. The description reinforces this by saying 'Use list_reports first to find the reportId', which adds provenance context beyond the schema. With a single parameter and full schema coverage, the description adds just enough extra meaning.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description states a specific verb ('Get'), a specific resource ('one exact authorized expense report'), and the exact output format ('short-lived direct PDF download' plus 'exact highlighted in-app report link'). It clearly distinguishes itself from sibling tools like get_report_details and share_report by focusing on export URLs rather than details or sharing workflows.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

The description explicitly says when to use this tool ('Use the in-app report for CSV, XLSX, receipt ZIP, comments, invoicing, and other visually reviewed actions') and provides a prerequisite ('Use list_reports first to find the reportId'). This gives clear routing guidance and tells the agent what to do before invoking.

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