TDQS

B3.4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already disclose readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the agent knows this is a safe, non-mutating call. The description clarifies the predicate nature ('Check if') but adds little beyond what the safety annotations and tool name already imply; no side-effect or error behavior is disclosed.

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 concise sentence with no filler or repetition. It front-loads the essential action and resource, and every word contributes to meaning.

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 low-complexity, one-parameter, read-only tool with rich annotations and a declared output schema, the description is largely sufficient. It explains the core behavior, and remaining details like return format are plausibly covered by the output schema. There is no mention of edge cases, but none seem critical for this simple predicate.

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 node_id documented as 'Node ID of the clip.' The description adds no additional meaning about the parameter's format, source, or validity constraints. Baseline 3 is appropriate because the schema already fully documents the single parameter.

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 'Check if a clip is an adjustment layer' uses a specific verb ('Check') and resource ('clip... adjustment layer'), clearly indicating this is a predicate-style query. It is not a tautology, and it is distinguishable from the sibling add_adjustment_layer, though it does not explicitly name that sibling.

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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor any exclusions or context such as 'use this before adding an adjustment layer' or 'use get_clip_properties instead for other clip info.' The usage context must be inferred entirely from the tool name and description's single sentence.

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