TDQS

D1.8/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, and the description adds only that replies are bundled with the post (a mild eager-loading signal). It says nothing about pagination of replies, depth limits, auth requirements, or behavior for a nonexistent id.

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?

There is no wasted sentence, but the fragment is under-specified rather than concise — it is a title-length phrase doing none of the work a description should do. Brevity here is a deficiency, not a virtue.

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 simple one-parameter read with no output schema, the description should at minimum identify what `id` refers to and what shape the replies take. Neither is covered, leaving the agent to guess before calling.

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 0% and the single parameter `id` is undocumented in both schema and description. The agent cannot tell from the text that `id` is a post identifier (as opposed to a user or task id), which matters given the sibling set.

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

Purpose2/5

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

"A post with its replies." is a noun phrase that restates the tool name (get_post) rather than stating an action. It does add the distinguishing detail that replies are included, but there is no verb and no differentiation from the many other get_* siblings beyond the resource noun.

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 usage guidance of any kind: no when to use it, no when not to, and no mention of alternatives such as get_feed or search that might also surface posts. The agent must infer everything from the name.

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