C2.9/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and openWorldHint, so the safety profile is covered structurally. The deprecation flag is genuine added behavioral context, but it is unactionable without naming a replacement, so it only partially earns credit.

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?

Short, but the first two sentences say the same thing twice ('Get a specific test suite' / 'Retrieve a test suite...'), so it is redundant rather than dense. The deprecation notice is correctly front-loaded only in the sense of being last-but-prominent.

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?

For a tool explicitly marked deprecated, the definition leaves the most important question unanswered: what should the agent use instead. With no output schema and an undocumented nested parameter object, the description is not complete enough to call this tool confidently.

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 reported as 0% for the nested 'path' object, and the description only says retrieval happens 'using its identifier,' which restates the parameter name rather than clarifying the nested structure. It adds minimal meaning 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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Get a specific test suite'), and adds a useful synonym clarification that a suite is a folder. It does not explicitly distinguish itself from the sibling get_test_suites_collection, but the singular/plural pair is unambiguous enough.

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?

The only usage signal is the bare tag 'DEPRECATED.' with no indication of what supersedes it or when it is still safe to call. An agent learns it should avoid the tool but has no path to an alternative.

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