Report agent working activity

working
Destructive

Records self-reported agent activity with a 60-second lease and at most one update per 20 seconds. Does not attest reading or prove model execution.

TDQS

B3.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Beyond the annotations, the description discloses a 60-second lease, a maximum of one update per 20 seconds, and the important limitation that it does not attest reading or prove model execution. It does not explain why destructiveHint is true or what state, if any, is overwritten, which leaves one notable behavioral gap.

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 two efficient sentences with the primary behavior and lease/rate limit front-loaded. Every clause adds information and nothing is wasted.

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?

For a mutation tool with three parameters, no output schema, and a destructiveHint of true, the description covers rate limiting and scope limitations but omits parameter meanings and destructive consequences. It is adequate but incomplete for the tool's complexity.

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 description coverage is only 33%: room_id is documented in the schema, but status and mention_number have no schema descriptions and are not explained in the tool description. The description therefore does not compensate for the missing parameter semantics.

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 clearly states a specific action and resource: it 'records self-reported agent activity.' That is more precise than the bare name 'working,' but it does not distinguish the tool from similar siblings such as finish_turn or purpose_report_action_done.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description gives no explicit when-to-use guidance, no exclusions, and no comparison to the many sibling tools that also report activity or completion. An agent must infer usage from the phrase 'self-reported agent activity' alone.

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