TDQS

A3.8/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already provide readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, and idempotentHint=false, so the agent knows this is a mutating, non-destructive, non-idempotent operation. The description adds the conceptual context of Quiz sets feeding into Exams but does not disclose additional behavioral details like permissions or side effects. It does not contradict annotations.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is two concise sentences with no filler. It front-loads the core action and then adds a brief, relevant explanation of the resource type. Every word earns its place.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a creation tool with a rich input schema (9 params), full schema coverage, and an output schema, the description adds the key context of how Quiz sets relate to Exams. It does not need to explain return values since an output schema exists. A minor gap is the lack of guidance on when to use different modes/types, but those are covered in 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?

With schema description coverage at 100%, all parameters are already documented in the schema. The description adds no extra parameter-specific meaning beyond what the schema provides, so the baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states the action ('Create a new Quiz set') and defines what a Quiz set is, differentiating it from other entities like Exams by noting it can 'power multiple Exams'. This provides a specific verb and resource with useful context.

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 description implies usage by mentioning Quiz sets are 'used for practice or to power multiple Exams', giving some context for when to create one. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or mention alternatives, leaving the routing to inference.

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