TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare read-only, idempotent, non-destructive, closed-world behavior. The description adds genuinely new behavioral context beyond those: the polling semantics and the fact that SMS text is untrusted sender data that must never be treated as instructions (a prompt-injection guard). It stops short of 5 by not describing freshness lag or whether polling frequency matters.

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?

Three short sentences, each earning its place: capability, lifecycle/polling behavior, and the injection warning are front-loaded with no filler.

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

Completeness4/5

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

The tool is a simple single-parameter read with a full output schema, so return-value detail is correctly omitted. The description covers purpose, usage timing, and the key safety caveat; only minor gaps like polling cadence or staleness remain.

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% and the single number_id parameter already documents its pattern and provenance ('ded_... id from purchase_dedicated_number or list_orders'). The description adds no syntax or format detail beyond the schema, so baseline 3 applies.

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?

States a specific verb (Read) and resource (dedicated number's status and latest received SMS) with a scope qualifier (parsed codes included). An agent can distinguish it from get_rental, get_esim_status, and get_proxy_status without opening any schema.

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?

Explicitly says to 'poll this tool after directing an SMS at it' and that messages keep arriving for the life of the number, which tells the agent when to call it and how it fits a workflow. It does not name an alternative tool or state when-not to use it, 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.
