TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already indicate this is a mutating operation (readOnlyHint false), so the description does not need to establish that. It adds minor context by explaining the purpose of setting in/out points, but does not describe side effects such as overwriting existing points or whether the change is undoable. This is adequate but not detailed.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single, efficient sentence that states what the tool does and includes a useful parenthetical purpose. It avoids redundancy with the schema, though the main clause closely mirrors the tool name.

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 two-parameter setter with clear annotations and full schema coverage, the description is reasonably complete. It gives the core purpose and relies on the schema for parameter details. It could be improved by mentioning the relationship to get/clear in/out points or describing validation rules, but nothing critical is missing.

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 descriptions cover both parameters ('In-point in seconds', 'Out-point in seconds') at 100%, so the description does not need to add much. The tool description adds no extra constraint information, such as in_seconds needing to be earlier than out_seconds, which the schema also omits.

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 clearly states a specific action ('Set') on a specific resource ('sequence in and out points') and adds context about the use case ('for export range, etc.'). It is clear enough to distinguish from get/clear variants, though it does not explicitly differentiate from related range tools like set_work_area.

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 parenthetical hints that this tool is used for defining an export range, which implies one common scenario. However, it provides no explicit guidance about when to prefer this over alternatives such as set_work_area or clear_sequence_in_out, and does not mention any prerequisites or constraints.

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