TDQS

D1.3/5.0
Behavior1/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It says only that the tool is an alias, without stating side effects, permissions, mutation behavior, or what invoking arbitrary tools entails. This is inadequate for a generic invocation tool.

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

Conciseness2/5

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

The description is a single short sentence, so it is concise, but it is under-specified rather than appropriately sized. Brevity here reflects missing information, not efficient communication.

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

Completeness1/5

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

Given that this is an invocation wrapper with two undocumented parameters and no annotations, the description is severely incomplete. Although an output schema exists, the description does not cover essential invocation behavior or parameter usage needed to call the tool correctly.

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 0% for the two parameters, tool_name and args, and the description adds no meaning for either. With low coverage, the description must compensate, but it provides no information about parameter formats, expected values, or nested structure.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose2/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description only states that this tool is an alias of cst_runtime_invoke_tool. It does not specify what invoking means in this context, what resources are involved, or how it differs from the many sibling tools beyond naming one equivalent. An agent must already know cst_runtime_invoke_tool to infer any purpose.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines1/5

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 tool versus cst_runtime_invoke_tool or any other sibling. The description gives no conditions, prerequisites, or alternatives, leaving the agent with no basis for selection.

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