TDQS

B3.4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive and openWorld, so the safety profile is fully covered. The description adds a genuinely useful data-semantics note about _micro monetary units, but the claim that 'pagination is preserved' is confusing on a single-item fetch and goes unexplained.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

It is short, but the first sentence is malformed — 'Get a single card by ID Native X fields and pagination are preserved' runs two clauses together with no punctuation, hurting front-loading. The pagination clause is also noise for a single-item get.

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 read-only single-entity lookup with an output schema and fully documented parameters, the definition covers what an agent needs to invoke it. The one remaining gap is not explaining the account_id/card_id relationship or the soft-delete default's effect on output.

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%, with card_id, account_id and with_deleted all documented in the schema including the soft-delete default. The description adds no parameter-level meaning beyond that, so the baseline of 3 applies.

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 and resource: 'Get a single card by ID'. The singular 'single card' implicitly contrasts with the sibling x_ads_list_cards, though it never names it.

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?

Usage is only implied by 'by ID' — an agent can infer this is the lookup path when it already has a card_id, but there is no explicit statement of when to use this versus x_ads_list_cards or how to obtain a card_id.

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