TDQS

B3.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations only supply destructiveHint=true, which the description neither explains nor contradicts; it is genuinely unclear why a create operation is flagged destructive. The description does add the REST endpoint and flags the required field, but says nothing about auth, idempotency, or what the call returns. Minimal added value over the annotation.

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?

Three short front-loaded fragments with no filler sentences. The REST endpoint mention is arguably noise for an agent invoking the tool, but nothing is padded or buried.

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?

For a 6-parameter mutation tool with a nested passthrough object and no output schema, the description covers only the required field. Because the schema itself is fully described, an agent can still call it correctly, but the destructiveHint goes unexplained and the `extra` passthrough behavior is left entirely to the 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 100%, so all six parameters (body, dueAt, extra, title, status, assigneeId) are already fully documented. The description only repeats that `title` is required, which the schema's required array and field description already state, adding no new semantics. 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 and resource ('Create a task') and even the backing endpoint (POST /rest/tasks), which clearly separates it from the get_/list_/update_ siblings. It lacks explicit sibling naming, but the create verb is unambiguous within this tool family.

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?

No guidance on when to create a task versus using twenty_update_task or other create tools, and no stated prerequisites (permissions, workspace membership, required fields beyond title). The agent must infer usage from the verb alone.

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