TDQS

D1.7/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds nothing beyond that: it does not say what the response contains, whether it is expensive, or what 'cascade' means in this system.

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

Conciseness2/5

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

Two words and a colon: nothing is wasted, but nothing is communicated. This is severe under-specification rather than conciseness, and the fragment is not even a complete sentence.

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

Completeness1/5

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

No output schema exists, so the description must explain what the 'cascade info' payload looks like and why an agent would request it; it does neither. For a read tool whose only value is its return content, this is entirely inadequate.

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

Parameters2/5

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

There is one required parameter 'id' with 0% schema description coverage, and the description never explains what id refers to (entity id? which entity type?) or what happens for an invalid id. Only the endpoint name lets an agent infer it is an entity identifier.

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

Purpose2/5

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

"Cascade preview:" essentially restates the name (cascade info retrieve) without a verb, an object, or any indication of what is being previewed. It does not distinguish this from the dozens of sibling *_cascade_info_retrieve tools for other resources, nor from entities_list / entities_object_retrieve.

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

Usage Guidelines1/5

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

There is no guidance at all: no when-to-use, no mention of the alternative entity endpoints, no note that this is typically a pre-deletion impact check. The trailing colon even suggests truncated content.

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