TDQS

A4.1/5.0
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, covering the safety profile. The description adds the context that this is for the 'current registered account', but does not disclose behavior for missing aliases or response details. This matches the reference case where annotations carry the bulk of behavioral disclosure.

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?

One sentence, clear and front-loaded with the verb and resource. No filler or redundancy. Every word contributes to the meaning.

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?

This is a low-complexity getter with only 2 parameters, an output schema, and robust annotations. The description sufficiently covers purpose and account scoping. There are no missing pieces that would impede correct tool selection or invocation.

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% — both 'alias' and 'domain' are fully described in the input schema. The description's mention of 'by alias' merely echoes the schema, adding no extra semantic value. Baseline of 3 is appropriate when schema does the heavy lifting.

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 clearly states 'Get a single short link by alias' with a specific verb and resource. It is scoped to 'the current registered account', which distinguishes it from list_links and get_link_stats. This leaves no ambiguity about its function.

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 description clearly implies the use case: fetching a specific link by alias. However, it does not explicitly name alternative tools like list_links or mention when not to use this tool. The context is clear but exclusions are absent.

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

A3.9/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool targets a clearly distinct resource and action: links, domains, tags, auth, and account status are all separate concerns. Even similar tools like shorten_url and bulk_create_links are differentiated by single vs. batch creation, and check_alias is distinct from get_link by checking availability before creation.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case (e.g., add_domain, delete_link, list_tags, verify_registration_code). Mixed verb styles like tag/untag and shorten_url are still predictable and fit the established convention.

Tool Count3/5

At 23 tools, the set is on the heavy side and falls in the 16-25 borderline range. The number is somewhat justified by the broad scope (links, domains, tags, auth, analytics), but it approaches the upper limit where an agent may have difficulty selecting between many options.

Completeness5/5

The tool surface covers the full lifecycle of short links (create, read, update, delete, list, stats), domain management (add, delete, verify, list), tags (create, list, delete, tag/untag), and account/auth flows (guest tokens, registration, pro upgrade). It is hard to identify any critical missing operation for the stated purpose.
