  2. First observed

TDQS

B3.1/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, openWorldHint=false and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description contributes only the "public" visibility scope; it says nothing about pagination behavior despite limit/cursor parameters, nor about locale affecting results.

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 with the resource and filter stated up front and no filler. It is efficient, though its brevity comes partly at the cost of the missing pagination and locale context.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be described. However, for a 5-parameter tool with 40% schema coverage, the description leaves pagination, the locale default of "de", and the meaning of "actual category" unexplained, which is not enough for an agent to call it confidently.

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 40%: only locale and idempotencyKey carry schema descriptions, while limit, cursor, and category are undocumented. The description mentions the category filter but adds no semantics for it ("actual category" is ambiguous), and it does not explain limit/cursor pagination at all, so it fails to compensate for the coverage gap.

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 and resource ("List existing public playbooks") plus a scope qualifier (public) and an optional filter (category). The plural form implicitly separates it from the singular academy_playbook sibling, but no sibling is named, so differentiation is inference-based rather than explicit.

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?

"Optionally filtered by their actual category" implies a browse-or-filter usage pattern, but there is no statement of when to prefer this over academy_search, academy_playbook, or academy_paths. The agent must infer the browsing scenario from the plural resource name alone.

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