C2.4/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. The verb 'Get' implies a read-only operation, but it does not state what the version history contains, whether results are ordered, whether an active connection is required, or any limitations. This is too thin to be considered transparent.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

The single sentence is free of fluff and gets straight to the point, but it is under-specified. It is concise in length, not concise in the sense of packing necessary information efficiently, so it earns a middle score.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a tool with one required parameter, no output schema, and no annotations, a five-word description is insufficient. The agent is left without parameter semantics, return-value expectations, or behavioral context needed for confident invocation.

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

Parameters1/5

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

The schema only defines 'id' as a required string with 0% description coverage, and the description adds no meaning to this parameter. An agent cannot tell whether 'id' is a DTP technical name, a GUID, or a version-specific identifier, making correct invocation guesswork.

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 specific verb ('Get') and a clear resource ('DTP version history'), so an agent can tell this is the version-history lookup for DTP objects. It does not, however, distinguish it from sibling version-history tools like bw_adso_versions or bw_trfn_versions beyond the object type named in the tool name itself.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as bw_dtp_details, bw_dtp_get_xml, or the version tools for other object types. The description gives no context about prerequisites, typical use cases, or when a different tool would be more appropriate.

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