TDQS

A3.9/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover safety (readOnly, non-destructive, open-world), so credit goes to added context: the limit cap of 100 is not in the schema, and the note that list responses may include total/has_more/page reveals pagination semantics. Auth requirements and what a 'get' returns beyond a list entry remain unstated.

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?

The purpose sentence is front-loaded, followed by a tight bullet list – each line carries distinct information. The only minor duplication is restating page/limit defaults already present in the schema.

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 six-parameter tool with no schema descriptions, the definition covers all parameters plus pagination behavior, and the output schema handles return shape. The remaining gap is the relationship to sibling circle tools and the exact legal values for filter.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage the description carries the full burden, and it names every parameter with meaning: action modes, the three accepted forms of name (display name, English name, slug), sort values, and page/limit semantics. The filter parameter is only described as 'optional subscribed,' leaving the accepted value under-specified.

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?

'Browse ClawdChat circles' states a clear verb and resource, and the action split (list vs get) clarifies the two operating modes. It doesn't explicitly contrast with the sibling manage_circles, so an agent has to infer that this tool is the read-only counterpart.

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?

The description gives useful in-tool guidance – get requires a name, list is paginated – which tells the agent how to choose a mode. It stops short of saying when to use this tool versus manage_circles or read_posts, and offers no exclusions or prerequisites.

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