TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint, and destructiveHint. The description adds useful behavioral detail beyond that: the return is a single upstream record with no pagination, which is not captured in the annotations or input schema.

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 concise sentences with no filler: the first states the core action and scope, the second adds behavioral context and alternative routing. Every sentence earns its place.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a simple single-ID lookup, the description, combined with the output schema and annotations, provides everything an agent needs to select and invoke the tool correctly. The no-pagination and single-record notes prevent false expectations about response shape.

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

Parameters4/5

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

The input schema already documents paymentTermId with 100% coverage. The description adds meaning by identifying it as the ServiceTitan ID and makes the lookup key explicit, which helps the agent understand the identifier's origin and role.

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 states a specific verb ('Retrieve') and resource ('payment term by its ServiceTitan ID'). It clearly distinguishes itself from accounting_payment_terms_list by noting it returns the single upstream record without pagination.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

The description explicitly routes agents to accounting_payment_terms_list when the ID is unknown. This establishes a clear when-to-use versus when-to-use-alternative boundary.

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