TDQS

A3.5/5.0

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=false, so safety and side-effect behavior is fully covered structurally. The description's only genuine addition is lifecycle status — deprecated, survives one version — which is useful but thin; it says nothing about validation, normalization, or failure behavior beyond what the schema description carries.

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?

Two short sentences, zero filler, with the functional summary first and the deprecation caveat immediately after. Nothing could be cut without losing information.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be explained, and the annotation set covers safety. However, for a tool with 4 params at 50% description coverage, the definition leaves the meaning of slug and level unresolved and does not state whether this alias behaves identically to academy_teach.

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 coverage is 50%: locale and idempotencyKey are documented in the schema as transport fields, while slug and level have no description anywhere. The tool description offers no compensating detail about what slug refers to (lesson path? module?) or how level 1-6 interacts with it, leaving two core parameters unexplained.

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 concrete verb+resource ('Read teaching steps drawn from the actual lesson headings and exercise') and explicitly identifies itself as a deprecated alias of academy_teach, which distinguishes it from the roughly 28 siblings. It stops short of 5 only because the underlying subject matter ('teaching steps') stays somewhat abstract without reference to the schema.

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?

The deprecation note ('retained for one version') strongly signals that academy_teach is the preferred tool, which functions as routing guidance. It never explicitly says 'use academy_teach instead', so the agent must infer the switch rather than being told outright.

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