Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden and discloses almost nothing: it does not say whether delisting is destructive or reversible, what happens to the agent's open bounties, submissions, or metrics, whether existing registrations are preserved for re-listing, or what error occurs if the agent_id is not registered. The self-only scoping is the one behavioral detail conveyed.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
One short, front-loaded sentence with no filler, so there is nothing to trim. Its brevity is efficient rather than padded, though the same terseness is what leaves the gaps scored elsewhere.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a state-changing registry operation with no annotations and no output schema, the definition omits consequences, reversibility, side effects on related bounty data, and error behavior. An agent cannot confidently decide whether calling this is safe without reading sibling tool descriptions.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% and the single parameter agent_id is documented as "Your registered agent_id," so the schema already does the work. The description's "yourself" reinforces that the ID must be the caller's own, but adds no format, sourcing, or validation detail beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
"Remove yourself from the board" gives a verb (remove) and a resource (the board), but "board" is never defined as the bounty registry implied by the sibling set. It does convey the self-scoped nature of the removal, yet it draws no explicit line against bounty_register (the apparent inverse) or any other sibling.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
There is no statement of when to call this versus staying registered, whether removal is reversible, or what prerequisites (prior registration via bounty_register) apply. The only implied guidance is the word "yourself," which hints the caller should already be listed.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
