TDQS

D1.8/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already establish that this is a non-read-only, non-destructive, idempotent operation. The description adds no behavioral detail beyond that: it does not explain that submission is a state-changing action, what preconditions must hold, or what happens to the draft after submission.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness2/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The single sentence is front-loaded and contains no filler, but it is essentially identical to the title and far too sparse for a six-parameter mutation tool. Conciseness here is achieved through omission rather than efficient communication.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness1/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given five required parameters, optimistic-concurrency fields, no output schema, and zero parameter documentation, the description is not complete enough for an agent to invoke the tool safely. It omits preconditions, expected inputs, and the effect of submitting a draft for approval.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters1/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

All six parameters have 0% schema description coverage, and the description mentions none of them. Critical fields such as expected_draft_revision, expected_approval_digest, expected_policy_revision_id, idempotency_key, and offer_id are left completely unexplained.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose2/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Tautological: description restates name/title.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus the related approval preview, bind, or review tools. It also does not state prerequisites, such as the draft needing to be in a valid state or having an approval digest and policy revision already computed.

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