TDQS

C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=true, so the description's main added duty is to explain consequences, permissions, or gating — none of which it does. The operation list merely restates the action enum, adding no behavioural context such as irreversibility of deletes/moves or that confirm gates destructive actions.

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 front-loaded sentence enumerating the operation families, with no filler. It is somewhat redundant with the action enum but remains an efficient one-line summary for a 27-parameter tool.

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?

The enormous action enum and 100% parameter documentation in the schema carry most of the burden, so the description need not repeat parameters. However, for a destructive, 27-parameter write tool with no output schema, it should at minimum flag the confirm requirement and the read/delete siblings, which it does not.

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% and each oneOf action entry documents its own required and optional fields, so the schema already carries full parameter meaning. The description adds nothing parameter-specific (e.g. the overloaded id/name fields or required action), so the baseline 3 applies.

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 uses concrete verbs and resources ('creates and updates forums, sections, topics, posts and polls; closes, pins, moves, joins and splits') that accurately mirror the action enum, so an agent knows exactly what class of operation this tool performs. It stops short of distinguishing itself from the sibling forum_read and forum_delete tools, which is the missing piece for a 5.

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?

There is no statement of when to use this tool versus forum_read (read) or forum_delete (delete), and no prerequisites or ordering advice. It also never mentions the approval workflow encoded in the confirm parameter, which is essential guidance for the join/split/move actions.

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