TDQS

C2.7/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

The description adds a useful operational constraint (the 10-modifications-per-5-minutes limit) beyond the annotations, which already mark the operation as destructive and not read-only. It does not describe side effects, reversibility, or confirmation requirements, but those are partly covered by the confirm parameter and destructiveHint.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is compact and front-loaded: the first sentence states the operation and the second adds a rate-limit note without filler. It is slightly too terse for the tool's complexity, but the structure itself is clean.

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?

The tool is complex (13 required params, nested object, enums, destructive, no output schema), and the description provides only a purpose and rate limit. Missing are enum meanings, what relisting entails, prerequisites like an existing advertisement ID, and any indication of the high-risk confirmation flow.

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

Parameters1/5

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

With schema description coverage at only 8% and 13 required parameters, the description needed to explain the key fields, enums, and nested tradingPreferenceSet object. It does not define actionType (MODIFY vs ACTIVE), priceType, premium, or any other parameter meaning, so it adds essentially no parameter-level value beyond the schema.

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?

The description uses a specific verb and resource ('Update or relist a P2P advertisement'), making the core action clear and distinguishing it from creation or removal tools like postAd/removeAd. It is slightly weakened by not defining 'relist' or explicitly naming the sibling alternatives 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 guidance on when to use updateAd versus postAd, removeAd, or getMyAds. The operation is implied to target an existing advertisement, but no prerequisites, exclusions, or alternative-selection conditions are stated.

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