TDQS

C2.5/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It discloses 'no fixed client timeout' and mentions streaming progress, but it fails to explain side effects, permissions, failure behavior, or what happens to artifacts. This is minimal disclosure for a test runner.

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?

The description is concise but awkwardly phrased; 'Streams progress' reads as a fragment and lacks clarity. It front-loads the core action but could be more intelligible and structured.

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

Completeness1/5

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

For a tool with 30 parameters and a complex serial execution model, the description is grossly incomplete. It does not explain the meaning of 'serial test suite', how paths are used, the operational context, or how it differs from replay. The output schema exists, but behavioral and usage context is missing.

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?

The description adds no parameter-specific information beyond what the schema provides. With schema coverage at 60%, many parameters lack descriptions, and the description does not compensate. It only vaguely references 'replay scripts', which aligns with the 'paths' parameter but nothing else.

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 states a specific action ('Run') and resource ('one or more replay scripts') and indicates a serial test suite, which distinguishes it from the 'replay' sibling. However, the phrasing 'Streams progress' is ambiguous and no explicit comparison to alternatives is given.

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 is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'replay'. The phrase 'serial test suite' implies batch usage, but it never explicitly says to use 'replay' for a single script or mentions any prerequisites or exclusions.

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