TDQS

C2.2/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations only state readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false, which the description's 'Create' action agrees with. However, the description adds no behavioral context beyond the annotations: no mention of side effects, required permissions, uniqueness constraints, or what 'placeholder' means operationally.

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 short and front-loaded, making it easy to read. However, the extreme brevity crosses from concise into under-specified: it gives no context, parameter rationale, or usage nuance.

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 four parameters, an output schema, and a large sibling tool family, this single-sentence description is insufficient for an agent to confidently select and invoke the tool. The output schema reduces the need to document return values, but the semantic meaning of a placeholder resource and its parameters is entirely absent.

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?

Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description says nothing about the parameters. It does not explain that title is required, or what role, location, or discipline represent in the context of a placeholder resource. The description provides zero value beyond the raw schema.

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

Purpose3/5

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

The description names a specific verb and resource: 'Create a placeholder resource.' This distinguishes it from sibling tools like create_user or create_project at a basic level, but the meaning of 'placeholder resource' is never explained, leaving the purpose somewhat vague.

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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention that placeholder resources can later be listed or deleted via rm_list_placeholder_resources and rm_delete_placeholder_resource, nor does it explain when a placeholder is preferable to a real resource.

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