TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations indicate this is a mutation (readOnlyHint false) but not destructive or idempotent. The description adds no behavioral context such as whether the path must already exist, whether the change persists, whether a restart/reload is required, or how it interacts with existing scratch disk settings.

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, focused sentence that states the operation and its scope with no filler. It is front-loaded and easy to parse.

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 two-parameter setter with a complete schema and output schema, the core invoke details are covered. However, the description does not clarify the relationship with set_project_scratch_disk or disclose side effects, leaving the agent to infer routing and behavior.

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 both `path` and `scratch_disk_type` already documented. The description does not add extra meaning beyond the schema, so the baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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 states a specific verb and resource: 'Set the scratch disk path for a specific media type'. It clearly identifies the tool's scope and distinguishes it from the sibling set_project_scratch_disk by emphasizing per-media-type targeting.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The phrase 'for a specific media type' implies the intended use and contrasts with set_project_scratch_disk, but the description does not explicitly say when to choose this tool over that alternative or what the setting affects project-level versus application-level.

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