TDQS

C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

The only annotation is readOnlyHint=false, which already tells the agent this is a write operation. The description adds nothing beyond that: it does not disclose that deletion is irreversible, whether funds in the goal are returned to the account, or what permissions are required. For a destructive tool with no destructiveHint, this is a meaningful gap.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Three words, zero waste, and the operation is front-loaded. It is minimal but not tautological, so it avoids the under-specification penalty while remaining appropriately sized for the label it is.

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?

An output schema exists so return values need not be explained, but for a destructive delete the description should at least note irreversibility or side effects. With only readOnlyHint=false as annotation coverage, the agent lacks the behavioral context needed to invoke this safely.

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% and both parameters (accountUid, savingsGoalUid) are documented in the schema, so the baseline of 3 applies. The description adds no format, constraint, or identifier-sourcing detail beyond what the schema already provides.

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 (Delete) and resource (savings goal) in a single phrase, so an agent immediately knows the operation. However, it offers no differentiation from siblings such as savings_goal_update or savings_goal_withdraw beyond the name itself.

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, no prerequisites, and no warnings. The description does not even mention the obvious routing distinction against savings_goal_update or savings_goals_list.

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