tandem_review_run

Run a complete read-only code review scenario without manually coordinating steps. Supply review requirements and request key, then use run_id for status, replies, or cancellation.

Instructions

Run one read-only review scenario without manually coordinating its native turns.

start: supply ReviewRequest and a stable request_key for this logical request. Reusing the key returns the same run; a different payload conflicts. Code captures the snapshot, runs independent think review, then at most one comparison if author material was supplied and the independent report succeeded. Total budget defaults to 600 seconds, including startup, both stages and questions. It never edits files or runs supplied test commands. status/reply/cancel: use the returned run_id, never start again to wait. Replies require the current question_id. Full stage answers, findings, applicability and peer-only usage are assembled by code. Claims are not automatically accepted or applied. Missing context needs an explicit new capture (context_paths), not hidden live reads.

  4. Addedv3.3.0

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden, and it delivers. It discloses read-only behavior, never edits files or runs test commands, describes the snapshot and comparison stages, mentions the 600-second default budget, explains key reuse behavior (same key returns same run, different payload conflicts), and notes that claims are not auto-accepted. This covers the essential behavioral traits an agent needs.

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?

The description is structured with action labels (start, status/reply/cancel) and front-loads the primary purpose. It is dense but every sentence adds value, covering constraints, budget, and caveats. It is longer than average but well-organized, avoiding redundancy. The structure helps an agent parse it quickly.

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 tool with 10 parameters and an output schema, the description covers the full lifecycle (start, status, reply, cancel), safety constraints, budget, and important caveats like key reuse and missing context. Since an output schema exists, return values don't need explanation. It is sufficient for an agent to invoke correctly, though it could elaborate on parameter combinations and the request object.

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 0% (despite some inline schema descriptions), so the description must compensate. It explains request_key, run_id, question_id, context_paths, and budget_seconds implicitly. However, it does not address parameters like answer, compare, execution, wait_seconds, or the request object's nested fields. The core flow parameters are covered, but a fuller mapping would be better given the low schema coverage.

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 verb 'Run' and the resource 'read-only review scenario', and explicitly contrasts with 'without manually coordinating its native turns', distinguishing it from the manual orchestration siblings (tandem_start, tandem_reply, etc.). It also outlines the stages (snapshot, think review, optional comparison), making the purpose unambiguous.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

It provides clear guidance: use this tool when you want a single-call orchestration instead of manual turn coordination. It gives action-specific instructions (start with request_key, status/reply/cancel with run_id) and warns against restarting to wait. It doesn't name sibling tools explicitly but the implication is strong. Missing context handling is also specified, adding practical guidance.

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