TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

The annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is well covered. The description adds useful context about the scope (project panel media file) and the type of data returned, but it does not disclose any additional behavioral traits such as authentication requirements, rate limits, or potential side effects beyond what annotations already indicate.

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, well-structured sentence that front-loads the core action and resource, then efficiently lists the specific information fields. Every part contributes value, and there is no filler or redundant wording.

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, read-only getter with one parameter and an existing output schema, the description is complete. It identifies what the tool operates on, what information it returns, and the annotations confirm it is safe and side-effect-free. No critical calling context is missing for an agent to use it correctly.

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 item_id described as 'Node ID or name of the project item'. The main description adds a bit of context by clarifying that the item is a media file in the project panel, but it does not provide additional parameter-level details such as examples, ID formats, or how to obtain the item_id. Since the schema already describes the single parameter adequately, the baseline 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 names a specific verb ('Get') and resource ('project item (media file in the project panel)') and enumerates the exact fields returned, making the purpose clear. It does not explicitly differentiate from the very similarly named sibling 'get_item_info' or related metadata tools, but the detail level still distinguishes it well enough for most cases.

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 alternatives like get_item_info, get_project_panel_metadata, or inspect_project_item_av_metadata. The description implies it is for reading project item details, but it does not state when not to use it or which sibling covers overlapping functionality.

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