TDQS

D1/5.0
Behavior1/5

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

Tool has no description.

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

Conciseness1/5

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

Tool has no description.

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?

Tool has no description.

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?

Tool has no description.

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

Purpose1/5

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

Tool has no description.

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?

Tool has no description.

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

Disambiguation5/5

With only one tool, there is no possibility of confusion or overlap between tools. The single tool 'generate-mind-map' stands alone with a distinct purpose, making disambiguation trivially perfect.

Naming Consistency5/5

A single tool inherently has perfect naming consistency, as there are no other tools to compare it against. The name 'generate-mind-map' follows a clear verb_noun pattern, which would be consistent if more tools existed.

Tool Count2/5

One tool is too few for a server named 'XMind Generator MCP', which suggests a domain of mind map generation and potentially related operations. A single tool feels thin and incomplete for this scope, lacking basic operations like editing, saving, or listing mind maps.

Completeness1/5

The tool surface is severely incomplete for mind map generation. With only a 'generate-mind-map' tool and no description, there are obvious gaps: no way to retrieve, update, delete, or manage mind maps, and no coverage of related functionalities like templates or exports, making it impossible for agents to perform meaningful workflows.
