B3.3/5.0

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare the safe read-only, idempotent, closed-world profile, so the bar is lower. The description does add unique data caveats ('Year ≠ Grade', 'uniforms paused') that annotations cannot express, but they are so terse that the agent cannot tell whether uniform fees are omitted entirely or just not yet returned.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

It is compact and front-loads the domain, but the telegraphic style ('Year ≠ Grade; uniforms paused') leaves dangling fragments that cost more in inference than they save in tokens. No structural separation between data scope and parameter hints.

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?

An output schema exists so return values need not be described.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is only 17% across 12 parameters, so the description carries the burden and largely fails: it explains only q and near (near duplicating the schema's own 'Zone, not school.'), plus loose hints at grade, distance and fees. Nothing explains area, rating, curriculum, school_id, sort, cursor, page_size, radius_km, or max_fee_aed.

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?

States a specific resource and payload: Dubai school fees, KHDA tuition by grade/year, bus fees, distance. An agent immediately knows this is a school-fee lookup rather than a generic calculator, though no sibling (e.g. costs_by_area, commute_cost) is named to disambiguate.

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?

Usage is implied by the data enumerated (tuition by grade, bus fees, distance), and the 'q: school name; near: zone (JVC)' note hints at two lookup modes. But there is no explicit when-to-use/when-not, no prerequisites, and no pointer to alternatives for distance or area cost questions.

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