TDQS

C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true, readOnlyHint=false and idempotentHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds nothing beyond that: it never says what happens to the assets inside the collection, whether the collection must be empty, or that the deletion cannot be undone. For a destructive collection delete, the cascade behavior is the key unknown and it is unaddressed.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence with no filler or redundancy. It is efficient, though the efficiency comes at the cost of substance rather than from tight editing of rich content.

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 destructive, non-idempotent delete with no output schema, the description should at minimum describe irreversibility and the fate of contained assets. Annotations cover safety hints and the schema covers parameters, but the behavioral consequences of the call remain unexplained.

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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description mentions no parameters at all; it neither explains the confirm flag semantics nor the account/idempotency fields, leaving the schema to carry all parameter meaning.

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 verb and resource ('Delete asset collection') plus a scope ('authenticated user's fal Assets library'), which separates it from write siblings like create_asset_collection and update_asset_collection. It does not, however, distinguish itself from the other delete_* tools (delete_asset_tag, delete_asset_character) beyond the name itself.

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 when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites, and no alternatives are named. There is no hint that the action is irreversible, that a confirm flag should be set, or how to obtain the collection_id — an agent gets no routing or precondition information from the description.

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