TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description adds valuable context beyond this: it returns an impartial rating, score, summary, and doctrinal loci, and explicitly states it is analytical and not proselytizing. These details clarify the tool's tone and output, going beyond the structured 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?

The description is concise, consisting of two focused sentences. The first states the core purpose, and the second covers output, impartiality, and access requirements. Every sentence contributes meaningful information without redundancy.

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?

Despite having no output schema, the description clearly enumerates the return values (rating, score, summary, loci) and notes the impartial, analytical nature. It does not mention potential errors or limitations, but for a read-only, non-destructive tool, the description is sufficiently complete for an agent to use it effectively.

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%, with both parameters fully described and examples provided. The description does not add additional parameter-specific semantics beyond what the schema already offers, so it relies on the schema to carry the parameter 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 clearly states the tool assesses doctrinal alignment with named Christian traditions, using specific verbs and resources. It distinguishes itself from siblings like verify_scripture by focusing on tradition-based evaluation rather than scriptural verification.

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 provides clear context on the tool's appropriate use: it's analytical, not proselytizing, and requires no key, implying open access. However, it does not explicitly mention when not to use it or mention sibling alternatives, falling slightly short of full guidance.

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