  5. First observedv0.3.9

TDQS

B3.4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description does not contradict those annotations, but it adds little beyond the verb 'Summarise'—no detail about what gets read, potential output size, or any other behavioral traits. This meets the baseline with annotations present.

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?

A single, front-loaded sentence with no filler: verb, object, and source are all in the first clause. It is scannable and 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?

This is a low-complexity read-only tool with full annotations, an output schema, and two fully described optional parameters. The description adequately captures the operation and input source. The main gap is the lack of selection guidance among siblings, but that is less critical given how simple and safe the operation is.

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%, so the schema fully documents both parameters. The description mentions 'saved loop file or run-store directory', which mirrors the file parameter's schema description and adds no new format, syntax, or precedence information. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states a specific verb ('Summarise') and resource ('Martin Loop run records') plus the input source. It implies an aggregate, read-oriented operation distinct from siblings like martin_list_runs or martin_get_run, but does not explicitly differentiate itself by name, so it stops short of a perfect score.

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?

No guidance is given on when to use this tool versus the many sibling inspection tools (e.g., martin_get_run, martin_list_runs, martin_triage_runs, martin_run_dossier). The only implicit usage context is the accepted input types in the description, but there are no exclusions, conditions, or alternative routing hints.

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