TDQS

A3.5/5.0

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already establish that this is a non-destructive, non-read-only, closed-world mutation. The description adds useful preconditions ('eligible failed, already stored') and clarifies that binaries are not uploaded, but it does not explain side effects, idempotency, or failure behavior.

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?

Two short sentences, front-loaded with the action and eligibility constraint. The upload boundary is useful and there is no filler.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be explained. However, for a mutation tool with an undocumented id parameter, the description does not fully explain eligibility criteria or retry behavior, leaving some operational ambiguity.

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?

The schema has 0% description coverage for the single 'id' parameter, so the description must compensate. It implies the id refers to an already stored ECU file but does not define the identifier format, source, or how to obtain it, leaving a meaningful gap.

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?

The description uses a specific verb and resource ('Retry ... ECU file') and adds meaningful qualifiers ('failed, already stored'), which distinguishes it from an initial process/upload operation. It does not explicitly name sibling tools like process_ecu_file or inspect_ecu_file, so sibling differentiation is implicit rather than explicit.

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?

It states the condition for use: retrying an eligible failed, already stored ECU file. The note 'MCP does not upload binaries' clarifies an important boundary. It does not explicitly list alternatives or explain how eligibility is determined, keeping it below a 5.

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