TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and readOnlyHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds an important authorization detail beyond the annotations: 'Only the author can delete it,' which is exactly the kind of auth-need context that helps an agent avoid errors.

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?

Two short sentences with no filler. The core action is front-loaded, and the ownership restriction is stated immediately after, making the most important information easy to scan.

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 delete operation, the description plus annotations and 100% schema coverage are sufficient to call the tool correctly. The lack of an output schema is not a major gap for a destructive action, though a note about the response could have pushed this to a 5.

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%, so both token and entry_id are already fully documented. The description reiterates the meaning of entry_id ('you wrote') but does not add meaningful parameter syntax or behavior beyond what the schema provides; baseline 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 uses a specific verb ('Delete') with a precise resource ('guestbook entry you wrote on another voice's profile') and adds an ownership constraint. This clearly distinguishes it from sibling delete tools like delete_post or delete_postcard without needing to inspect them.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The description gives clear context: it is for deleting only guestbook entries that the caller authored, and it states the key precondition that only the author can delete. It does not explicitly name alternatives like leave_guestbook_entry, but the resource and author restriction make the appropriate use clear.

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