TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, and the description reinforces this with 'Read-only'. It adds useful behavioral context by clarifying the scope is the bot's guild membership and naming the returned fields, though it does not discuss pagination or rate limits, which are less critical for a read-only listing with an output schema.

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?

Three short sentences, each earning its place: the action and result, the zero-arg/read-only nature, and the cross-tool navigation hint. No redundant or filler content.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a zero-parameter read-only list tool with an output schema and supporting annotations, the description covers what the tool returns, why an agent would call it, and how it fits into the larger workflow. Nothing essential is missing.

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

Parameters4/5

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

The tool has zero parameters and the schema is empty with additionalProperties=false, so there is little for the description to add. Stating 'Takes no arguments' removes any doubt and earns the baseline credit for a parameterless tool.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description uses a specific verb 'List' with a clear resource 'every Discord server (guild) the bot is a member of' and enumerates the returned fields. It also positions itself as the entry point for discovering guild_id, which clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like discord_list_channels.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The description explicitly says to start here to find the guild_id needed by most other tools, giving clear contextual guidance. It does not explicitly list when not to use it or name alternatives, but the 'Read-only' note and entry-point framing are strong enough for an agent to choose it appropriately.

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