TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive/openWorld, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds genuine context beyond them: the content is scoped to coverage, safety rules and known limitations, which tells the agent what kind of answer to expect. It omits whether the output is static or how large it is, which would matter for a doc-dump tool.

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 no waste. The content scope comes first and the actionable directive ('read it before...') is second, so the agent gets both identity and instruction immediately.

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?

With zero params, full annotation coverage and an output schema, the description needn't explain return values, and it doesn't. The only real gap is that it doesn't signal this is a one-time orientation read rather than something to call per-query, which would help an agent budget its calls.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Zero parameters, so there is nothing for the description to disambiguate and the baseline applies. The description correctly implies a parameterless call by describing no inputs at all.

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?

The noun phrase 'Coverage, safety rules and known limitations of this server' names the exact resource returned, which is enough for an agent to tell it apart from the data-fetching siblings (bing_get_campaigns, bing_get_report, etc.). It never states the verb — that it *returns* a guide document — so the agent infers the retrieval action from the title rather than the description.

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?

'Read it before claiming that a feature is or is not supported' gives an explicit trigger condition, which is the key routing signal for a documentation tool. It does not name alternatives or state when this can be skipped, but for a prerequisite doc tool the positive guidance is the part that matters.

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