TDQS

A3.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

The description adds meaningful context beyond the annotations by specifying exactly which visibility aspects are affected: recommended, admin's home, and shared user's home. It does not contradict the annotations, and the idempotent/non-destructive hints already signal the safety profile. However, it does not explain side effects of setting these values, such as whether false removes an existing promotion.

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 clear action line, the HTTP path, and a structured Args list. Every line earns its place, and there is no filler or redundant restating of the schema.

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

Completeness3/5

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

The description covers the core action and all parameters, and the output schema handles return values, so it is functionally usable. But it omits usage guidance, accepted value formats, and the relationship to the many similar manage/move sibling tools, leaving some important context missing for a 5-parameter update tool.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description provides one-line meanings for all five parameters, which is valuable. But it says 'Whether this hub should be displayed for promoted_to_* parameters while the schema types are string/null, creating ambiguity about expected values such as 'true'/'false' and the effect of null/defaults.

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 specific action and resource: 'Change hub visibility' with the PUT path. The path and parameter list make clear it changes promotion flags for a specific hub in a section, but it does not explicitly differentiate itself from sibling tools like create_hubs_sections_by_section_id_manage or update_hubs_sections_by_section_id_manage_move.

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?

The description provides no guidance about when to use this tool versus the many related hub-management siblings, no exclusions, and no mention of alternatives. The word 'update' implies modification of existing hub preferences, but that is left entirely to inference.

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