TDQS

B3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly=false, openWorld=true, idempotent=true, and destructive=false. The description adds useful behavioral context beyond annotations: which operations are free, that purchases require approval, and that approvals use request_id and max_fee. It does not contradict the annotations, though it could better explain mutation/revision semantics.

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 description is short, front-loaded, and avoids repetition. However, the telegraphic style ('Read prices free; approve...') is compressed to the point of being cryptic for a tool with six action variants, so it is concise but not fully well-structured for comprehension.

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?

This is a complex multi-action tool with several oneOf branches (offer, request, status, download, continue, cancel), yet the description covers only a small slice of the workflow. It does not explain the actions, order lifecycle, request/approval progression, or how to use the schema's variants, leaving major gaps despite the available annotations and schema.

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 reported as 100%, so the schema carries most parameter meaning. The description adds limited value by tying request_id and max_fee to the approval flow, but it does not clarify the oneOf action variants, product choices, order_id, expected_revision, or other key parameters.

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?

The description gestures at a multi-step research workflow (prices, identification, report, status, download, cancellation) but never states a single clear verb+resource for the tool as a whole. It is possible to infer that this tool handles card identification/report requests, but the description does not cleanly distinguish it from siblings such as buy or browse.

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?

The description gives some cost/approval rules (free reads, free status/download/cancel, purchases require approval) but does not say when to choose this tool over alternatives or when to use each internal action. No explicit when-not guidance or sibling routing is provided.

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