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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds value by disclosing that it returns matching documents with summaries and URLs. It does not mention result limits, ranking, or filtering behavior, but given the read-only annotation, this is an acceptable level of disclosure.

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?

A single, dense sentence that front-loads the action and then lists relevant content domains. The topic list is long but purposeful, giving the agent an immediate sense of scope. There is no redundancy or filler.

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 one-parameter, read-only search tool, the description covers purpose, scope, and return format. Since there is no output schema, the description tells the agent what to expect (documents, summaries, URLs). It does not detail the response structure or error behavior, but these are minor gaps for a simple tool.

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 query parameter description already provides examples and intent. The description itself does not add additional parameter semantics beyond listing topic areas, which is context but not strictly parameter-level guidance. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 states a specific verb ('Search') and resource ('Lovora's reference documents'), enumerates content areas (pricing, free access, payments without a card, etc.), and specifies the return type ('summaries and URLs'). This clearly distinguishes it from sibling getters like get_pricing and get_content_rules, which target specific, narrower slices.

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?

The description provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus the siblings. It lists pricing among the topics, yet get_pricing exists, creating potential overlap without any routing instruction such as 'for exact pricing use get_pricing'. The only usage hint (query examples) appears in the schema, not in the description.

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