TDQS

D1.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of disclosing behavior. It only states 'Get', with no information about read-only expectations, response contents, error behavior, or any side effects; it adds no meaningful behavioral context beyond the verb.

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

Conciseness2/5

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

The description is extremely concise and has no filler, but it is under-specified rather than efficiently complete. A three-word fragment does not provide enough structured context to support correct tool invocation.

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?

Although an output schema exists and the tool is a simple get-by-identifier operation, the description still omits essential context such as the resource scope and the role of the required parameter. The description is not complete enough for reliable selection and invocation.

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 does not compensate at all. It never mentions provider_id or accept-language, so the agent cannot learn that provider_id is the required lookup key or what accept-language controls.

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

Purpose2/5

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

The description is a bare restatement of the tool name, condensing 'get_groups_ai_providers_providers_by_provider' to 'Get Ai Provider'. It conveys only a generic read action and does not specify the resource scope, the group context, or that a specific provider is retrieved by ID.

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 the related create, update, delete, or list variants among the sibling tools. The description provides no conditions, exclusions, or alternatives for the agent to follow.

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