TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already establish that this is not read-only, not idempotent, and not destructive. The description adds that it creates a distinct new account, but it does not surface side effects such as automatic password generation, email/SMS notification when notify is set, or behavior when a username/email already exists. No contradiction with 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 a single front-loaded sentence with no filler. Every word carries the operation and resource, which is ideal for a tool whose parameter details are fully captured in its schema.

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 19-parameter write operation, the one-line description is lean, but completeness comes from the accompanying schema: required fields, default password, notification, and valid values are all defined, and an output schema is present so return value details do not need to be in the description. It could be strengthened by naming sibling endpoints for lifecycle handling, but the core decision context is sufficient.

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?

Because schema_description_coverage is 100%, the schema already documents all 19 parameters including defaults, enums, lengths, formats, and the custom object behavior. The description itself adds no parameter-level details, so the standard baseline 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 states a specific action ('Create') and a specific resource ('new EduBase user account'). This clearly distinguishes from sibling user operations like edubase_get_user, edubase_patch_user, and edubase_delete_user, so an agent can infer this is the provisioning endpoint.

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 choose this over related user endpoints, no prerequisites such as required permissions or uniqueness constraints, and no mention that existing accounts should be handled with edubase_patch_user or edubase_delete_user. The only usage signal is the verb 'Create', which restates the tool's purpose rather than offering routing context.

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