TDQS

C2.7/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure, but it only says 'append' and mentions workspace/subject identity. It omits permissions, idempotency or duplicate behavior, severity semantics, and side effects for a six-required-parameter write tool.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is a single front-loaded sentence with no filler. Brevity is structurally appropriate, though it leaves other dimensions underdeveloped.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given seven parameters, six required, no annotations, no output schema, and 0% schema descriptions, the definition is far from complete. It does not explain valid formats, required identity relationships, severity values, or expected results.

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 should explain all seven parameters. It adds only vague meaning for workspace_id and subject_ref, leaving sender, recipient, body, severity, and references undocumented in both schema and description.

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 verb 'Append' plus the resource 'Core ISSUE' makes the action identifiable and distinguishes it from list_issues and read_review siblings. 'Core ISSUE' is domain jargon that is not explained, so it is clear but not fully self-contained.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus list_issues or other write tools, and no prerequisites or exclusions are stated. The sentence only implies that this is a write operation.

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