TDQS

C2.5/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

There are no annotations, so the description bears the full burden of disclosing side effects and constraints. It does reveal that task text is discarded and mentions a 302 redirect, but it never states whether the operation is read-only, what it returns, or whether any auth/rate limits apply to placement.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The definition is short and front-loads the main scope. However, the pricing/trial sentence is not useful for tool selection or invocation, and 'start_here.hop'/'302' are cryptic, so not every sentence earns its place.

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?

With 10 optional parameters and no output schema, an agent cannot tell what a valid invocation should look like or what result to expect. The description covers domain and one caveat, but is far from complete for a polymorphic tool.

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%, so the property-level meaning is already fully documented. The description adds meta-behavior ('task text discarded') but does not map parameters to the listed channels; given the high schema coverage, baseline 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose3/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description names a concrete scope ('placement across agent channels') and enumerates target channels, so an agent can tell the domain. However, it lacks a clear verb/resource relationship ('places' what? 'checks' what?) and does not distinguish this from sibling tools like agent-ads-index or agent-tool-index.

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?

No conditions or recommended scenarios are given for choosing this tool over its siblings, and no exclusions are stated. 'Follow start_here.hop first (302)' is a sequencing/redirect instruction, not guidance about when to call the tool.

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