B3.3/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already indicate a non-readonly, non-idempotent mutation (readOnlyHint=false, idempotentHint=false), but the description adds no behavioral detail. It does not disclose what 'process my request' entails, such as side effects, asynchronous behavior, or what triggers a retest. With minimal annotation context, this is a notable gap.

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?

The description is a single, compact sentence with no filler. The key prerequisite (report availability) is included, though the phrasing 'Process my request' is slightly stilted and could be more direct.

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?

An output schema is present, so return values need not be described. The three required parameters are fully documented in the schema, and the description conveys the prerequisite that a report must exist. For a low-complexity tool, this is reasonably complete, though it could clarify the relationship between jobID and timeStamp.

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 coverage is 100%, with clear descriptions and examples for jobID, reason, and timeStamp. The description adds no parameter-level meaning beyond the schema, so the baseline of 3 applies.

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 identifies a specific action ('process my request to retest') and a resource ('a page about which a report is available'). It distinguishes from siblings like requestTest by emphasizing retesting and report availability, though it does not name the alternative explicitly.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The phrase 'about which a report is available' implies a prerequisite condition for using this tool, but no explicit guidance is given about when to prefer requestTest or requestFeature, nor any exclusions. The usage context is implied rather than stated.

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

A3.5/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a distinct purpose: getReport retrieves full reports, listReports lists them, listIssues drills into issues, listViolators details elements, listDiagnoses details diagnoses, and the request* tools handle test/future actions. No two tools overlap.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools follow a consistent verb_noun camelCase pattern: get or list for retrieval, request for actions. The naming is uniform and predictable.

Tool Count5/5

Eight tools fit the domain well—covering listing, retrieval, drilling down, and requesting actions without redundancy or bloat.

Completeness5/5

The surface covers the full testing workflow: request a test/retest, list/get reports, inspect issues, violators, and diagnoses. No critical operations are missing.
