TDQS

C2.9/5.0

Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false, so the safety profile is known. The description adds nothing behavioral: it does not say deletion is irreversible, how an unknown/missing template is handled, or whether references to the template are affected — the only added information ('by name or public reference') is parameter-related.

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 no filler. It is efficient, though the brevity leaves real gaps for a destructive operation rather than reflecting completeness.

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 and annotations carry the destructive/read-only profile, so the description needn't restate those. Still, for a delete tool it omits confirmation/permission requirements, irreversibility, and not-found behavior, and doesn't reconcile the optional-arg schema with the 'by name or public reference' phrasing.

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 0%, so the description must compensate, and it partly does by revealing that the identifier may be a name or a public reference. However, it conflicts with the schema's single 'template_name' field and with required=0, leaving the agent unsure how the 'public reference' is passed or whether the argument is optional for a destructive call.

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 ('Delete a template'), clearly distinct from templates_create/get/list/update by the verb. It does not differentiate 'template' from the similarly named creatives_delete or explain what a template is, so sibling disambiguation beyond the noun prefix is missing.

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 delete versus update or reverse-engineer a template, no preconditions, and no mention of confirmation or irreversibility. The agent must infer everything about when this destructive call is appropriate from the name alone.

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