TDQS

A4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

The description uses 'permanently remove' which aligns with destructiveHint=true annotation. It does not add behavioral details beyond what annotations and output schema (confirmation string) provide. No contradiction.

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 concise with a clear opening, a helpful tip, and a parameter block. It is front-loaded and avoids unnecessary text.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a simple removal tool, the description covers the purpose, prerequisite (list breakpoints), and parameter. The output schema indicates a confirmation string, so no further info needed. Complete.

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?

The description includes a structured Args section that mirrors the input schema. Since the schema already documents the parameter (with description 'Breakpoint ID number'), the description adds no new meaning. Baseline 3 for high schema coverage.

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?

The description clearly states the action ('Permanently remove a breakpoint or watchpoint by number') and distinguishes from sibling tools like edb_set_breakpoint or edb_disable_breakpoint by specifying 'remove' and recommending edb_list_breakpoints to find numbers.

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?

The description advises using edb_list_breakpoints to find breakpoint numbers, but does not explicitly contrast with alternatives like temporarily disabling a breakpoint. Still, the context is clear and helpful.

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