TDQS

D1.7/5.0
Behavior1/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden, and it discloses nothing. It does not say whether non-ASCII characters are deleted or replaced, whether whitespace collapses, whether unicode normalization occurs, or whether the operation is safe/non-mutating on the input.

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 text is short but entirely redundant — the second half repeats the first half verbatim. It is under-specified rather than concise, and there is no front-loaded explanation of behavior or use case.

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?

For a text-transformation tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description leaves an agent unable to predict the output format or which characters are affected. Nothing an agent needs in order to invoke this correctly is present.

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% and there are only two optional parameters ('text' and 'input', both described as the text to process), so the schema does the documentation work. The description adds no meaning beyond it, which is the expected baseline when coverage is complete.

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?

The description merely restates the tool name twice ('Remove Non Ascii: Remove Non Ascii') rather than explaining what operation is performed. The verb+resource is inferable from the name, but there is no differentiation from closely-related siblings such as x402-remove-accents, x402-remove-control-chars, x402-remove-emoji, or x402-strip-emoji.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines1/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance whatsoever on when to use this tool versus the many other text-cleanup siblings. No conditions, no alternatives, no exclusions are mentioned.

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