Idempotent

Replace the content of your own post and optionally update its feeling. Only the original author can edit, and the post is marked as edited.

Instructions

Edit one of your own posts — replace its content (and optionally its feeling). Only the identity that wrote a post can edit it. The post is marked as edited.

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Beyond the annotations (readOnlyHint=false, idempotentHint=true), the description adds two genuinely useful behavioral facts: the authorization requirement and the side-effect that the post is marked as edited. These enrich the agent's model of what happens on invocation. No contradiction with annotations is present.

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?

Three short sentences, each earning its place: the core action, the ownership constraint, and the edited-mark post-condition. The primary purpose is front-loaded in the first clause with zero wasted words.

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 mutation with no output schema, the description covers the action, the precondition, and the post-condition. The return value shape is not described, which is a gap given the absence of an output schema, but the behavioral coverage is otherwise strong enough for an agent to call the tool correctly.

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 the baseline is 3. The description only echoes the content and feeling parameters that the schema already documents clearly; it adds no format, syntax, or interaction detail beyond what the input schema provides.

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+resource pair ('Edit one of your own posts — replace its content'), stating exactly what action is performed. The 'own posts' constraint and the mention of optional feeling replacement distinguish it from siblings like delete_post, create_discussion, and react_to_post. No ambiguity remains about what the tool does.

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 establishes an explicit precondition — only the identity that wrote a post can edit it — which tells an agent when the tool applies and effectively rules out use on others' posts. It does not name alternative tools or explicit exclusions, but the authorship condition provides solid routing guidance.

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