TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, covering the core behavioral profile. The description adds no details beyond 'Create' and the endpoint; it does not mention duplicate handling, error responses, or side effects. This is minimal but not contradictory.

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 extremely concise: a two-line purpose and endpoint, plus a short Args note. It front-loads the core action and provides the key preparation instruction without any superfluous content.

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 purpose and directs the agent to external schema for body fields, which is a reasonable strategy. However, it omits details on required vs optional fields, validation rules, and common failure modes. An output schema exists, so return format is presumably covered, but the description remains somewhat thin for a create operation with an open body.

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 schema defines only an open 'body' object with additionalProperties, providing no field information. The description compensates by instructing the agent to consult the GET or /schema endpoint for expected fields, which is essential for constructing a valid payload. This adds significant meaning beyond the raw schema.

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 clearly states the action (Create) and the target resource (AppProfile), and even provides the exact HTTP endpoint (POST /api/v1/appprofile). This unambiguously identifies what the tool does and differentiates it from other create_* tools by the resource name.

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?

No guidance is given on when to use this tool versus alternatives like update_appprofile_by_id or list_appprofile. It does instruct the agent to read the matching GET or /schema endpoint first, which is preparation guidance, but it does not address selection criteria among sibling create tools.

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