TDQS

B3.4/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations exist, so the description carries full burden. It only states the tool identifies alarms during downtime, but does not disclose whether it is read-only, performance implications, authorization needs, or any constraints. The behavioral traits are inadequately covered.

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 extremely concise: one sentence for purpose and two lines for parameter format. No unnecessary words. The structure is front-loaded with the core purpose followed by parameter specifications.

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?

While an output schema exists (reducing need to describe returns), the description lacks contextual details like prerequisites, data freshness, interpretation guidance, or how this tool relates to alarm monitoring workflows. For a diagnostic tool with zero annotations, this is incomplete.

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 0%, so the description must add meaning. It specifies that start_time and end_time are ISO 8601 strings, which adds format info beyond the schema's 'string' type. However, it does not explain the meaning of the time range (e.g., alignment with downtime periods) or provide examples.

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 explicitly states it identifies alarms active during downtime periods for root cause diagnosis. The verb 'identifies' and resource 'alarms' are specific, and it clearly distinguishes from sibling tools which focus on KPIs (downtime_kpi, productivity_kpi, quality_kpi).

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 description implies usage for downtime alarm analysis but provides no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance. No alternatives are mentioned, though siblings are different in nature.

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