Changes observed during successful MCP inspections.
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=false, so safety is covered. The description adds an auth note ('No identity required') and a confusing caveat about 'non-redeemable points' and 'no action authority' that does not clarify observable behavior such as result contents or ordering.
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?
It is short and front-loaded, but the brevity comes at the cost of clarity: nearly every clause is unexplained domain jargon, so the sentences do not earn their informational keep.
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?
With no parameters and no output schema, the description is the only source of information about what is returned, and it provides nothing about the template list's structure, count, or ordering. Too sparse for a tool whose purpose is otherwise undocumented.
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?
The tool takes zero parameters, so there is nothing for the description to disambiguate; baseline 4 applies.
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 text never states the verb or resource: it says 'Public H4TP 0.2 capability and contract defaults', which is protocol jargon rather than 'list human task templates'. Only the tool name hints at what it does, so an agent must infer purpose from the name alone.
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?
'No identity required' implies unauthenticated access but gives no when-to-use condition and no comparison with the sibling listing tools (list_public_cases, list_public_feedback, get_public_case). No exclusions or alternatives are mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
