TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Discloses that it types literal text and does not press Enter. With readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false, this adds useful behavioral context beyond annotations. However, it does not describe potential side effects like overwriting existing field content.

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?

Two short sentences, front-loaded with action. No filler.

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?

For a simple 2-param tool with annotations, the description covers purpose, usage, and key behavior. Lacks explicit detail on sid and possible side effects, but is sufficient for most agents.

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 provides no descriptions for sid or text, so description must compensate. It implies sid is the session identifier and text is the literal text, but does not explicitly define sid or elaborate on text limitations. Partial compensation only.

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?

Clearly states 'Type literal text into the session' with a specific verb and resource. Distinguishes from siblings by explicitly noting 'no Enter' and 'filling fields', differentiating from send_line and send_keys.

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?

Gives usage context: 'Use for filling fields.' Implicitly indicates when to use (form filling) and excludes sending Enter, but does not explicitly reference sibling tools or state when not to use.

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