TDQS

B3.1/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

The description conveys only the basic mutation intent. It does not add behavioral context beyond what the verb 'set' already implies, such as whether unspecified paths are left unchanged, whether paths must already exist, or whether this overwrites existing project settings. Annotations provide no positive safety information, so the description carries the burden and does not meet it.

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, front-loaded sentence with no filler. Every phrase maps to the tool's actual purpose, and it is appropriately sized for the simplicity of the 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?

For a simple setter with fully documented parameters, the description is nearly sufficient. However, it leaves out important behavioral details such as the effect of omitting parameters, whether existing scratch disk paths are replaced, and how this differs from set_scratch_disk_path. These gaps prevent it from being fully complete.

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 already documents all four parameters with clear path descriptions, so schema coverage is 100%. The description adds only a high-level grouping of paths into captured video/audio and previews, which does not materially improve on the schema's per-parameter descriptions.

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 states a clear verb and resource: it sets the project's scratch disk paths for captured video, audio, and previews. It is unambiguous about what the tool operates on, though it does not explicitly distinguish itself from the similarly named sibling set_scratch_disk_path.

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 provided for when to use this tool instead of related alternatives, especially set_scratch_disk_path or get_project_scratch_disks. It also does not clarify whether it partially updates or fully replaces scratch disk settings, which is essential for safe usage.

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