TDQS

D1.9/5.0
Behavior1/5

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

Annotations declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, yet the description says the endpoint allows frameworks to be 'viewed or edited', implying a write capability the tool does not have. Nothing is said about what is actually returned (a downloadable Excel template file), which is the single behavioral fact an agent needs here.

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?

It is a single short sentence, so it is compact and front-loaded, but the sentence is boilerplate that conveys no tool-specific information, so its brevity comes at the cost of usefulness rather than from discipline.

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 one required parameter, no output schema, and a read-only endpoint returning a file, the description should explain the id and the binary/file nature of the response. It explains neither, so an agent cannot confidently construct the call or anticipate the result.

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 'id' is an undescribed string. The description does not clarify whether this id identifies a framework, a template, or a library, leaving the caller to guess.

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 is generic Django-REST-Framework boilerplate ('allows frameworks to be viewed or edited') that never mentions the actual operation named in the tool and title: retrieving an Excel template. It does not distinguish this tool from sibling endpoints such as ciso_assistant_api_frameworks_retrieve, frameworks_list, or frameworks_export_yaml_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?

There is no statement of when to call this endpoint versus the many other framework endpoints, no prerequisite information (e.g., that it produces a template for import), and no exclusions. The only guidance is the implied 'frameworks' domain.

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