TDQS

D1.4/5.0
Behavior1/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of disclosing behavior. It provides none—no indication of whether the tool is read-only, mutating, has side effects, or what it returns. The phrase 'OK' is ambiguous and does not clarify outcomes.

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

Conciseness2/5

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

The description is extremely short but this is under-specification rather than conciseness. It fails to provide any actionable information. While a concise description can be effective, this one omits essential context entirely.

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

Completeness1/5

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

Given 10 optional parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is grossly inadequate. It does not explain what the tool does, how to interpret results, or any behavioral constraints. An agent cannot reliably invoke this tool correctly.

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 baseline is 3. The description adds no parameter meaning beyond the schema, but the schema itself fully documents each parameter. The tool's overall purpose remains unclear, but parameter semantics are adequately covered by the schema.

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

Purpose1/5

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

The description 'USPS state code OK' is a near-tautology of the tool name 'st-ok'. It does not state an action (e.g., validate, check, return) nor a resource, and it fails to explain the tool's actual scope. The input schema lists 10 diverse parameters (url, json, path, etc.) that have no apparent connection to a USPS state code, making the purpose misleading.

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

Usage Guidelines1/5

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

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus its 30+ siblings. There is no mention of context, prerequisites, or alternatives. An agent cannot determine when this tool is appropriate.

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