Retrieve all badge challenges you have joined, including in-progress and completed ones. See progress, completion status, and earned dates, with pagination controls for large histories.

Instructions

Get all badge challenges the user has joined (completed and in-progress)

Returns the user's history of badge challenges including progress, completion status, and earned dates.

Args: start: Starting index for pagination (starts at 1) limit: Maximum number of challenges to return (default 20, max 100)

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of explaining behavior. It clearly indicates the scope (user's joined challenges) and the return content, but it does not explicitly state that the operation is read-only or mention any side effects, authentication requirements, or rate limits. However, the verb 'Get' makes the read-only nature implicit.

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 concise and well-structured: a single sentence for the main purpose, one for the return details, and a clear breakdown of parameters. There is no extraneous information, making it easy for an agent to parse quickly.

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

Completeness5/5

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

The description provides enough context for an agent to know exactly what the tool does and what parameters mean. Since an output schema is indicated as existing, the description does not need to enumerate the return structure. It covers the essential information for correct invocation.

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

Parameters5/5

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

The schema only provides types and defaults for 'start' and 'limit', but the description adds meaningful semantics: 'start' is the starting index (1-based) and 'limit' is the maximum number to return with a default of 20 and max of 100. This fully explains the parameters beyond the raw schema.

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 tool retrieves all badge challenges the user has joined, including both completed and in-progress ones. It also lists the specific data returned (progress, completion status, earned dates), making the purpose unambiguous and distinct from sibling tools like get_earned_badges or get_available_badge_challenges.

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 when to use this tool—when you need the user's full history of joined badge challenges—but it does not explicitly contrast it with alternatives such as get_non_completed_badge_challenges or get_available_badge_challenges. The guidance is inferred rather than stated.

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