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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint and non-destructive, so safety is covered; the description adds what the caller actually receives (URL, Claude Code command, Cursor/VS Code install links, custom-connector step for claude.ai and ChatGPT). It says nothing about side effects or failure modes, but there are none material for a read-only lookup. The return-value detail is partly redundant with the existing output schema.

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 a single dense paragraph with no breaks, and the front-loaded material is a server catalog rather than the tool's own action. Parenthetical fragments like 'INITE and its signed-in door (your account, Local Start)' are hard to parse and slow down routing. No sentence is outright wasteful, but the structure works against scanning.

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 one optional parameter, full annotations and an output schema, the description covers the remaining burden: when to call it, how `for` selects a single answer, and what the response contains. The only gap is that several enum values are left to inference from the catalog phrasing.

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 `for` enum is documented, so baseline would be 3. The prose adds real value by mapping ambiguous enum members to intent — e.g. 'premium'/'add_tool' under the signed-in Atlas, 'licence'/'your audits' under Visibility, 'businesses that confirmed their own facts' for find_business. Two enum values ('talk', 'find_tools') remain unexplained, keeping it from a 5.

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 names the resource (INITE's MCP servers and how to add each to this client) and the outcome (returns URL, install commands, connector steps), so an agent can tell it is a discovery/connection-info tool. The opening is a catalog noun phrase rather than a verb+resource statement, so the actual action only becomes clear in the last sentence. It does differentiate from siblings implicitly by being the routing tool for servers this client cannot reach.

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?

'Call it when the person wants something this server does not do; give `for` to get the one server that does it' is an explicit use condition plus routing instruction. It does not name the siblings (inite_book_call, inite_services, etc.) as alternatives to try first, so the exclusion boundary is stated as a condition rather than as a ranked alternative.

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