TDQS

B3.1/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

The annotations already indicate this is not read-only and not destructive, but the description adds no additional behavioral context such as whether a new sequence is created, how it is named, or whether the original is left untouched. It primarily restates the tool's title.

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?

The description is a single compact sentence with no filler and delivers the core meaning immediately. It is appropriately sized for a simple one-parameter operation.

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

Completeness3/5

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

The tool is simple, has one required parameter, and an output schema is reported to exist, so return-value details are not the description's responsibility. However, useful context about the behavior of duplication, such as naming collision handling and whether the original sequence is unchanged, 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?

The input schema provides full coverage of the single parameter, sequence_id, described as 'Sequence name or ID to duplicate'. The description adds nothing beyond the schema, but with 100% schema coverage a baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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 description uses a specific verb ('Duplicate') and identifies the resource ('an existing sequence'), making the core operation clear. It does not explicitly contrast with related tools like create_sequence or duplicate_clip, but the phrasing is specific enough to distinguish the intent.

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 given about when to use this tool versus alternatives such as create_sequence, create_subsequence, or duplicate_clip. The description implies the operation but provides no exclusions or selection criteria.

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