B3.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds useful matching semantics ('same products and source markets in shipment data', 'ranked by fit') but says nothing about result volume, why a company might be excluded, or what the fit ranking means.

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?

A single efficient sentence with the match definition front-loaded and no filler. It is appropriately sized for a three-parameter tool, though one clause distinguishing it from sibling tools would have earned its place.

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

Completeness3/5

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

With an output schema present and rich annotations, the description needn't explain return values or safety. It is adequate for invoking the tool, but it leaves the main ambiguity of this profile-match family unresolved: when to use lookalike versus search, score, or rank.

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%, so all three parameters (name, role, limit) are already documented in the schema, including the importer default for role. The description's 'seed company' framing loosely maps to the name parameter but adds no syntax or format detail beyond the schema.

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?

Clear verb+resource: 'Finds companies that trade like a seed company,' and it defines the matching axis (same products and source markets in shipment data) with a ranking criterion. It does not, however, distinguish itself from near-siblings like exim__companies__similar or exim__profile-match__search, so the agent must infer which lookalike tool to pick.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

There is no explicit when-to-use guidance, no exclusions, and no named alternative, despite a crowded sibling set (profile-match__search, profile-match__rank, companies__similar, companies__competitors). The only steer is the implicit 'give a seed company name' from the description.

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