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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It is a read operation ('List'), but the description never says whether it is safe, whether it requires authentication, whether results are paginated, or what happens for an agent with no contracts. The recurrence sentence describes a sibling tool's purpose, not this tool's behavior.

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 first sentence is efficient and front-loaded. The second sentence about create_recurrence is tangential to a listing tool and competes for attention without serving the primary action.

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 simple read-list tool with no output schema and no annotations, the description is minimally adequate: it says what is listed and that a balance is included. It omits authentication expectations, pagination, and the format of the balance and contracts, leaving gaps an agent may hit at call time.

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?

There is one parameter, agent_key, with 0% schema description coverage. The description does not mention it or explain how the requester is identified. However, with only one required key and a self-evident name, the baseline for a single-parameter tool keeps this at 3 rather than lower.

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?

States a specific verb (List) and resource (this requester's accepted saved contracts) plus a secondary output (bounty balance). This distinguishes it from siblings like bounties_list (open opportunities) and contract_recovery/contract_rerun, though the distinction is by scope word 'accepted saved' rather than an explicit contrast with siblings.

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 use this tool versus alternatives such as bounties_list, contract_recovery, or requester_dashboard_get. The only implicit guidance is the possessive 'this requester's', which an agent must infer.

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