TDQS

B3/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=true, so the agent knows this is a non-destructive write that may touch external state. The description adds that it scaffolds/creates a new project, consistent with those hints, but says nothing about filesystem effects, prerequisites, or whether it overwrites existing projects.

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 zero filler; the verb and resource lead, and the CLI reference is compactly parenthesized. Nothing here wastes space.

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, opaque parameters, and only a terse one-liner, the definition omits what gets created, where, and how to pass arguments via params_json. For a scaffolding operation with real write side effects, more context is needed for an agent to invoke it confidently.

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% for two opaque parameters ('params' and 'params_json'), and the description offers no explanation of their expected format or content. For a CLI-passthrough-style tool the agent is left guessing what to put in params_json (default '{}').

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?

States a specific verb ('Scaffold') and resource ('a new scoped app / Fluent project'), and grounds it in the underlying CLI command with its alias. This lets an agent distinguish it from sibling sdk tools like servicenow_sdk_build or servicenow_sdk_deploy, though it doesn't explicitly name what it is not.

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 explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance, and no alternative tool is named. 'Scaffold a new ... project' only weakly implies this is a project-init step; nothing tells the agent when this is the right choice versus build/deploy/transform.

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