TDQS

B3.3/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds one genuinely useful behavioural fact: the mutation is limited to allow_comments and other fields cannot be changed. It does not mention permission requirements or what a successful update returns.

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 with zero waste; the purpose is front-loaded and the mutation constraint immediately follows. Nothing extraneous is present.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a single-field mutation tool with no output schema, the essentials are covered but barely. It omits what happens on success/failure and any auth or precondition context, leaving the definition thin for a write operation.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must carry parameter meaning and it only partly does. It identifies allow_comments as the sole mutable field but says nothing about the required post_id or the nested data wrapper, leaving the schema to communicate structure with no prose support.

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+resource ('Update a structured post'), which matches the tool name and distinguishes the resource from the plain post siblings like reddit_ads_update_post. It is clear but does not explicitly disambiguate against siblings such as update_post or get_structured_post.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The constraint 'Only allow_comments can be changed' gives implicit guidance about what the tool is for, but there is no explicit when-to-use, no alternative-naming, and no prerequisites (e.g. that the post must exist). Usage is left to inference.

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