TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior1/5

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

The description implies a read-only, idempotent operation (just verifying connectivity), but the annotations state readOnlyHint=false and idempotentHint=false. This contradicts the description's implied behavior, so the transparency is poor and potentially misleading.

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 two short sentences, directly to the point, with no unnecessary detail. It efficiently conveys the tool's function and usage.

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?

The description is completely sufficient for an agent to understand what the tool does, when to call it, and what it returns (connection status). No additional context is needed for this simple health check.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The tool has zero parameters, and the description does not need to explain any. There is no gap between the schema (empty) and the description, so this dimension is fully satisfied.

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 clearly states the tool's purpose: a health check to verify the CEP plugin is running and connected to Premiere Pro. It uses a specific verb ('verify') and names the target resource, distinguishing it from other tools that perform more complex actions.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicit guidance is given: 'Call this before other tools to confirm connectivity.' This tells the agent exactly when to use the tool and what to expect, leaving no ambiguity about its role in a workflow.

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