TDQS

C2.4/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. 'Listar' weakly implies a read-only operation, but nothing is said about pagination behavior (limite defaults to 50, offset to 0), whether results are truncated, or how expensive the association lookup is. For a no-annotation tool this is a substantial gap.

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?

A single short sentence is efficient, but the leading '75.' is an unexplained artifact that adds noise to the front of the description. The brevity stems from under-specification rather than disciplined editing.

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?

An output schema exists, so return-value shape need not be described, but the description still omits filtering semantics and pagination defaults for a three-parameter listing tool. An agent would have to guess how to scope a query or page through results.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0% for all three parameters. The description does not explain whether 'nome' is an exact match, substring, or regex filter, nor does it mention that 'limite'/'offset' control paging. The parameter names are the only guide, which is insufficient.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose3/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The verb 'Listar' and resource 'templates' are clear, but 'associações' is undefined — it is unclear whether this means host-template links, template group links, or something else. The description also does not distinguish it from close siblings like zabbix_consultar_template, zabbix_listar_grupos_templates, or zabbix_auditar_cobertura_templates.

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 list tool versus zabbix_consultar_template (single template lookup) or zabbix_recomendar_templates. No prerequisites, no exclusions, and no indication of when the association data is relevant.

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