Link Claim to Thesis

link_claim_to_thesis
Idempotent

Attach a claim to a thesis with a role: 'supports' (the claim, if true, strengthens the thesis), 'refutes' (if true, weakens it — track disconfirming evidence first-class), or 'context' (relevant but not directional). Idempotent — re-linking updates the role. A claim can support one thesis and refute another.

This composes theses from claims; it does NOT make the thesis score a function of claim scores (they're scored independently). Tier: paid + free (sample rejected).

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already provide idempotentHint and destructiveHint, and the description adds concrete behavioral meaning: re-linking updates the role, not duplicates. It also exposes a non-obvious relational constraint ('A claim can support one thesis and refute another') and the scoring independence, which goes beyond annotation fields.

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?

The core behavior is front-loaded in the first sentence, with role definitions integrated efficiently. The later sentences add useful semantics about idempotency and scoring independence, though the 'Tier: paid + free (sample rejected)' note is somewhat cryptic and could be clearer or placed elsewhere.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Given the output schema exists and the input schema covers all params, the description provides enough for correct invocation: role meanings, idempotent update behavior, and the score-independence caveat. It could improve by explicitly noting the opposite operation (unlink) or any prerequisite that claims/theses must exist, but it is largely complete.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema has 100% coverage for the three parameters, so the base is 3. The description adds significant semantics for the 'role' enum by defining what 'supports' and 'refutes' mean, and it clarifies relationship constraints between claim and thesis that the schema alone doesn't convey.

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

Purpose5/5

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

States a specific verb ('Attach') with a clear resource ('claim to a thesis') and enumerates the three roles with semantics. The description distinguishes this from related tools like unlink_claim_from_thesis and save_claim/thesis by focusing on the linking relationship.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Clear context for when to use: when attaching/relating a claim to a thesis with a directional role. It also clarifies a boundary by stating it does not make thesis scores a function of claim scores, but it does not explicitly name alternatives or exclusion cases beyond that.

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