TDQS

B3.4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is fully covered and the description carries a lower burden. The description adds that this is a historical action log and lists example action types, which is genuinely useful context. It does not mention pagination or result ordering, which are relevant given the page/per_page params.

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?

A single well-formed sentence with no wasted words, and the core purpose is front-loaded. The concrete action examples add clarity without bloat.

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 paginated read-only list tool whose annotations and full schema coverage already carry the safety and parameter burden, the description is nearly complete. It would be improved by noting pagination behavior, but nothing essential to invoking it correctly 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%, so the schema already documents id, page, per_page, sort, and status including enum-like values for status. The description adds no parameter semantics beyond what the schema provides; baseline 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 (list) and resource (actions on a specific floating IP), then enumerates the kinds of actions (assign, unassign, rDNS changes). This distinguishes it from the sibling hetzner_list_floating_ips, which lists the IPs themselves rather than their history. It stops short of naming a sibling explicitly, so it lands just under 5.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as hetzner_list_floating_ips or hetzner_get_floating_ip, and no stated prerequisites (e.g. that the floating IP id must already be known). Usage is only implied by the description. No exclusions or conditions are given.

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