  2. First observed

TDQS

B3.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true, idempotentHint=false, openWorldHint=true and readOnlyHint=false, so the mutation/write nature is covered without the description. The description adds the master-key auth requirement, which is useful non-schema context. It says nothing about batch-size limits, partial-failure behavior, or reversibility of created tasks.

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?

Two short sentences, front-loaded with purpose then requirement, with no author-supplied padding. The trailing pricing comment is injected boilerplate rather than authored content, so it is not heavily penalized.

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?

With an output schema present, return values need no explanation and annotations cover the safety profile. What remains missing for a bulk mutation tool is whether the batch is atomic, any cap on contact_ids, and the auth scope consequence if the master key is absent — the description stops at naming the requirement.

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?

Measured schema description coverage is 0% at the parameter level (the sole top-level 'body' object is undocumented), and the description supplies no parameter information at all, so it fails to compensate. The nested properties do carry rich inline descriptions (examples, ISO 8601 format, enum values), which keeps this from being a 1, but the description itself contributes nothing.

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 ('Bulk create tasks'), and the 'Bulk' qualifier implicitly separates it from the single-create sibling post_apollo_tasks. It does not name any sibling explicitly, so it lands at clear-but-not-differentiated.

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?

The prerequisite 'Requires a master API key' is a genuine usage condition, which is more than most. However, there is no guidance on when to prefer this over post_apollo_tasks or post_apollo_tasks_search, so the when-to-use dimension is only implied by the tool name.

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