TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already establish readOnlyHint=true, so the description does not need to restate safety. It adds useful behavioral context beyond the schema by disclosing the failure mode when launch_id is not found and directing the agent to list_launches for valid IDs. This is meaningful added value for a read-only tool.

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 compact and front-loaded: a one-line purpose statement, followed by USE WHEN and FAILS WHEN triggers. Every sentence earns its place, and there is no fluff or redundant elaboration.

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 single-parameter read-only tool with an output schema, the description covers the essential context: what the tool returns, when to invoke it, and what to do when the ID is invalid. The agent has enough information to call this tool correctly without consulting additional documentation.

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?

There is only one parameter and the schema already describes it as 'Launch ID from list_launches' with 100% coverage. The description repeats the same ID-source guidance without adding format, constraints, or additional behavioral meaning, so it does not exceed the schema baseline.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description states a clear verb and resource: 'Get launch details with checklist.' It is clearly a launch-level read operation, but it does not explicitly contrast itself with sibling tools like get_launch_sections or get_launch_tasks, so some sibling differentiation is left to inference.

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 USE WHEN section gives concrete natural-language triggers ('Tell me about this launch', 'Launch readiness'), and FAILS WHEN warns about invalid IDs while pointing to list_launches as the ID source. It provides clear usage context but does not mention when to prefer an alternative tool, so it stops short of a 5.

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