TDQS

C2.6/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so safety is covered. The description adds nothing beyond that — it doesn't say what form the prompt comes back in (raw markdown? structured object?), whether the names are case-sensitive, or what happens with an unknown name despite the tool being non-destructive.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

A single short sentence with no filler, front-loading the verb and resource. It is efficient but borders on underspecified rather than wasteful.

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?

For a lookup tool with no output schema, the description should convey what the returned prompt looks like and how it differs from adjacent assets (playbooks, skills, scenarios). Neither is present, leaving an agent unable to predict the result or choose confidently.

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 coverage is 100%, and the single name parameter already enumerates all six available prompt names inline. The description adds no syntax, formatting, or matching rules beyond what the schema provides, so baseline 3 applies.

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?

"Read a reusable starter prompt from the pack" names a verb (read) and resource (starter prompt), so intent is discernible. But "the pack" is undefined and the tool is not distinguished from siblings like tide_playbook, tide_scenario, tide_skill, or tide_canon, which all sound like reusable assets an agent could reach for.

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 guidance on when to call this versus tide_playbook, tide_skill, or tide_choose_playbook. An agent reading only this description has no basis for routing between the reusable-content tools.

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