TDQS

A3.6/5.0

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds what data is surfaced (quality gate status, issue counts), but says nothing about pagination, branch limits, permissions, or how long-unanalyzed branches are handled.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

A single sentence that front-loads the verb and resource and appends the returned fields. No padding, no restatement of the title.

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?

A simple read-only, two-parameter tool with an output schema, so the description need not explain return values; the schema plus annotations do most of the work. Only pagination/result-size behavior is left unspecified, which is a minor gap.

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%: the project param already documents SonarQube keys, SonarCloud org_project keys and overview URLs, and context_id is documented. The description's only contribution is the phrase 'for a project', 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?

States a specific verb (List) and resource (analyzed branches for a project) and adds what each item carries: quality gate status and issue counts per branch. It does not distinguish itself from the sq_* siblings (sq_analyses_latest, sq_hotspots_search), but for 'list branches' there is little genuine overlap.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Usage is only implied: an agent can infer it is the tool for checking branch-level quality gates, but there is no explicit when-to-use, no prerequisites (e.g. branch analysis must be enabled in SonarQube), and no pointer to alternatives such as sq_analyses_latest for analysis history.

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