TDQS

C2.6/5.0
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. It discloses only the return value; it says nothing about where the new step is placed by default, how sequence/sequence_order conflicts are resolved, whether required fields like step_type default to 'action', or what permissions are needed for a mutation.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two short sentences with the purpose front-loaded and zero filler. It is efficient, though the terseness tips into under-specification for a 13-parameter tool.

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?

For a mutation tool with 13 params, nested object schemas, alias/duplicate fields, and no annotations, two sentences are far from sufficient. The stated return value partially helps since there is no output schema, but the parameter ambiguity and placement behavior are unaddressed.

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

Parameters1/5

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

Schema description coverage is only 31% across 13 parameters including nested objects, and the description mentions none of them. Critical ambiguities — the 'name' vs 'step_name' alias and the 'sequence' vs 'sequence_order' duplicate — are left completely unexplained, so the description compensates for nothing.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Create a new process step') plus the return value ('new step_id'), which is enough to distinguish it from tealfabric_update_process_step and tealfabric_delete_process_step. It does not, however, explain what a process step is or how it relates to the sibling process tools.

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 versus tealfabric_update_process_step or tealfabric_create_process, no prerequisite that the parent process must already exist, and no note about ordering relative to other steps. The agent is left to infer all of this.

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