TDQS

A3.7/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already signal a non-read-only, non-idempotent operation, so the description's job is lighter. It adds that the action targets in/out points on the active sequence and that either or both can be cleared, but it does not disclose recovery behavior, no-op behavior, or what happens if the sequence lacks in/out points.

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, front-loaded sentence with no redundant words. It efficiently states the operation, target, and scope.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a simple two-optional-boolean tool with a full schema and output schema, the description plus schema are sufficient for an agent to invoke it correctly. No critical behavioral or contextual information 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 coverage is 100%: both clear_in and clear_out have descriptive text and defaults. The description's 'and/or' phrasing matches the boolean combination model, but it adds little beyond what the schema already communicates.

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?

The description names a specific verb ('clear'), a precise resource ('the in and/or out points'), and a scope ('active sequence'). This cleanly distinguishes it from related tools like set_sequence_in_out_points and clear_item_in_out.

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 is provided about when to use this tool versus alternatives such as set_sequence_in_out_points, get_sequence_in_out_points, or clear_item_in_out. The intended invocation context is only implied by the phrase 'active sequence.'

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