TDQS

D1.7/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint, so safety is covered. The word "preview" hints that nothing is mutated, but the description says nothing about what a cascade preview returns, how deep it traverses, or what a caller should do with it — a real gap for a read endpoint whose whole value is the shape of its response.

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?

It is short, but only because it is truncated — a two-word fragment ending in a colon, not a concise statement. Under-specification rather than economy.

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?

With no output schema, one undocumented parameter, and no annotations explaining semantics beyond read-safety, the description carries full burden and delivers nothing. An agent cannot tell what the id refers to or what a cascade preview contains.

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?

Schema coverage is 0% and the single required parameter is named only "id". The description does not say whether this id identifies an entity assessment, an entity, or something else, leaving the agent to guess which object type to pass.

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:" is a fragment that only echoes the operation type implied by the tool name (cascade_info) without stating what is being previewed, on what resource, or what the output represents. It does not distinguish this from the dozens of sibling *_cascade_info_retrieve tools (actors, assets, frameworks, entities, etc.).

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?

No guidance whatsoever on when to call this instead of ciso_assistant_api_entity_assessments_retrieve, _object_retrieve, or the many other cascade_info tools. The agent must infer usage entirely from the tool name.

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