TDQS

A4.2/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already indicate this is a write operation (readOnlyHint=false, idempotentHint=false, destructiveHint=false). The description adds valuable context: it requires MANAGE_GUILD, produces a shareable snapshot, and returns untrusted_text, which warns the agent about potential untrusted content. This goes beyond what annotations provide.

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?

The description is compact and front-loaded with the core purpose. Each sentence earns its place: purpose, permission requirement, and return value. No filler or redundancy.

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

Completeness4/5

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

The description covers the essential context for a creation tool: what it does, what permission is needed, and what it returns. It does not explain the template's use_url or how to inspect it, but the output schema and sibling tools (templates_inspect) fill that gap. The untrusted_text warning is a useful addition.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all four parameters. The description adds context about the template being a snapshot of channels, roles, and settings, but does not add parameter-specific details beyond what the schema provides. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 states a specific verb ('snapshot'), a resource ('the caller bot's current guild layout'), and the output (a Discord Guild Template). It clearly distinguishes this from sibling tools like templates_inspect, templates_diff, and templates_sync by focusing on creation from the current guild state.

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 states the required permission (MANAGE_GUILD) and advises inspecting the template before sharing its use_url. It does not explicitly name alternatives or when-not-to-use, but the purpose is specific enough that an agent can infer when to use it versus sibling template tools.

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