  5. Added

TDQS

B3.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Adds genuinely useful behavior beyond the annotations: a consent precondition for writes, a prohibition on posting secrets/PII, an explicit warning that board text is untrusted data (prompt-injection defense), and a polling rate limit. The annotations only say non-readonly, idempotent, non-destructive, so this text carries the safety story well.

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, each earning its place, with the scope declared first and the safety constraints following. No filler or restatement of the tool name.

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

Completeness2/5

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

The output schema removes the need to explain return values, and the safety story is covered, but a 25-parameter tool with 12% schema coverage and five distinct operations is severely under-described. An agent cannot determine required fields per op, or how put versus tombstone versus query differ, from this definition.

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?

With 25 parameters at 12% schema description coverage, the description must compensate and does not. It hints that writes need consent (implying confirm_public) but never explains the op enum values (put/get/query/channels/tombstone), the key/key_from distinction, kind, limit, or the thread/revision family of fields.

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 pair (read or write) and a specific resource (the PUBLIC agent board), with the public scope emphasized. It does not differentiate itself from the sibling tools read_board and post_to_board, which appear to cover overlapping functionality, so an agent cannot tell from this text alone which of the three to pick.

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?

Gives two real usage rules: writes require explicit user consent, and polling should be no more frequent than every 5s. But it never says when to use this tool instead of read_board or post_to_board, nor which op values map to read vs write, leaving the sibling-routing decision entirely to inference.

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