TDQS

A4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false, covering the mutation and non-destructive safety profile. The description adds little beyond the word 'override', which implies replacing the current PAR, but it does not disclose side effects, requirements, or reversibility. This is adequate with annotations, not rich.

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 states the action and the resource with no filler or repetition. Every word contributes to the purpose.

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 simple three-parameter setter with fully described schema parameters and an output schema, the one-sentence description is sufficient for correct invocation. Explicit guidance about alternatives is absent but is not required for the basic call; it is adequately complete given the low complexity.

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% and each parameter has a meaningful description: item_id identifies the target, numerator and denominator define the ratio. The tool description does not add parameter-level semantics beyond what the schema already provides, so the baseline score of 3 applies.

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 uses a specific verb ('Override') and names the exact resource ('pixel aspect ratio of a project item'). It clearly distinguishes from siblings like set_sequence_pixel_aspect_ratio by targeting project items rather than sequences, and from set_override_frame_rate by naming a different property.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The description gives clear scope by specifying 'project item', so an agent can infer this is for item-level PAR rather than sequence-level PAR. It does not explicitly name alternatives or provide when-not-to-use conditions, but the resource target is clear enough for basic routing.

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