TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare this is a non-destructive, non-idempotent, closed-world write, so the bar is lower. The description does add genuinely useful cost context ('Does not spend credits'), but says nothing about what happens on a duplicate name, what identifier is returned for later add_chatbot_content calls, or any auth requirements — gaps that matter for a create tool.

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 short sentences, all front-loaded: what it does, what it costs, and what to do next. No filler or restated name/title.

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

Completeness3/5

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

The workflow chain and cost note cover the most important context, and the lack of an output schema means return values are not required. However, an agent still cannot tell whether it needs the created chatbot's ID/name for the follow-up add_chatbot_content call, which is the central post-condition of this tool.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is only 50%: temperature and system_prompt are documented in the schema, but 'name' and 'openai_model' carry no description at either layer. The description adds nothing about parameters, leaving the model enum choice and the name-uniqueness question entirely to inference.

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 ('Create a chatbot for this project'), which is unambiguous against most siblings, and the added workflow sentence distinguishes it from add_chatbot_content and ask_chatbot. It stops short of naming what a chatbot is scoped to beyond 'this project', but the core action is clear.

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?

Gives an explicit three-step sequence: create here, populate with add_chatbot_content, then query with ask_chatbot — that is real routing guidance an agent can act on. It lacks any exclusion or prerequisite (permissions, uniqueness of name), 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.
