TDQS

A4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden, and it does disclose the most important behavioral fact: deletion is cascading and destroys all contained messages, not just the class header. It also flags the transport dependency. It stops short of stating irreversibility, permission requirements, or failure behavior for non-existent classes.

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 sentences, no filler, with the destructive scope front-loaded before the transport caveat. Every clause earns its place.

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 three-parameter delete with no output schema, the description covers the essential agent-facing facts: what is destroyed and the transport requirement. It is slightly thin on post-deletion behavior and error conditions, but nothing critical is missing.

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%, including the enum for 'detail' and the transport-request semantics, so the schema already documents all three parameters. The description's transport sentence essentially restates the schema text rather than adding format, default, or validation detail. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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?

States a specific verb (Delete), the exact resource (ABAP message class / MSAG), the mechanism (ADT deletion API), and the cascade scope ('and all of its messages'). This last clause cleanly separates it from the sibling DeleteMessageClassMessage, which removes a single message.

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?

It gives one prerequisite condition — transport request required for transportable objects, optional for local ones — which tells the agent when the parameter is needed. However, it never routes the agent between this tool and DeleteMessageClassMessage or other delete siblings, leaving the when-to-use decision implied.

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