No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the full behavioral burden. It implies a read-only GET and mentions path order, but omits authentication requirements for api_key, pagination behavior, error conditions, and any other operational context.
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?
The description is short and front-loads the endpoint, but it wastes words on redundant phrasing ("grades, the query's grades") and remains cryptic rather than informative.
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?
An output schema exists, so return fields need not be explained. However, for a two-parameter tool with no annotations and no schema parameter descriptions, the definition is missing essential input guidance and usage context.
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 description coverage is 0%, so the description should compensate. It only indirectly references the required id via the path, and it says nothing about the optional api_key parameter or the expected format of id.
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?
The description identifies a GET operation returning a query's grades with key/score, but the phrasing is awkward and repetitive ("grades, the query's grades") and does not clearly distinguish it from sibling tools like get_grade or list_items.
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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as get_grade for a single grade, nor any exclusions or prerequisites. Usage is only implied by the HTTP verb.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
