TDQS

D1.9/5.0
Behavior1/5

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

The description claims the endpoint allows evidences to be 'viewed or edited', but the annotations declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. That inconsistency could lead an agent to attempt a write against a read-only endpoint. Aside from the contradiction, no behavioral context is added (e.g., whether the response is a file blob or metadata).

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

Conciseness3/5

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

One short sentence with no padding, so nothing is wasted, but the brevity comes from under-specification rather than economy of expression. It is not front-loaded with any actionable information.

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

Completeness2/5

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

With no output schema and no meaningful annotations beyond safety hints, the description must explain what a successful call returns (file content vs. attachment metadata) and how to use the id. It supplies none of that, so an agent is left guessing about the core behavior of an attachment-fetch endpoint.

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 a single required parameter 'id' with 0% schema description coverage and no documentation in the description. The text never says whether 'id' refers to the evidence, the attachment, or a revision, leaving the one thing the agent must supply entirely ambiguous.

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?

The description says only 'allows evidences to be viewed or edited', which restates a generic CRUD endpoint and never mentions the attachment that the tool name and sibling names (evidences_upload, evidence_revisions_attachment_retrieve) indicate is the actual resource. An agent cannot tell from this text why this tool differs from ciso_assistant_api_evidences_retrieve.

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 on when to call this versus ciso_assistant_api_evidences_retrieve, ciso_assistant_api_evidences_object_retrieve, or ciso_assistant_api_evidence_revisions_attachment_retrieve. The 'viewed or edited' phrasing also fails to state any precondition such as requiring an existing evidence id with an uploaded attachment.

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