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

With no annotations, the description carries the burden and does disclose real behavioral facts: no credential required, free of cost, CC BY 4.0 copying/adaptation rights, and the important limitation that inserting the clause does not register an agent with the Court. It stops short of describing output format or the scope of the 'notes on its limits'.

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?

Individual sentences are short and the metadata (credential, cost, source) is useful, but opening with a first-person user quote before any statement of what the tool does hurts front-loading and reads as padding rather than description.

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 zero-parameter, no-annotation, no-output-schema content tool, the description covers purpose, licensing, cost, credential and a key limitation, which is enough for correct invocation. Only the boundary against sibling clause/registration tools is unaddressed.

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 the baseline is 4; there is nothing for the description to disambiguate, and the schema coverage is complete by definition.

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 a concrete deliverable (sample wording for contracts, agent profiles and automated agreements) and ties it to a recognizable legal purpose (choosing a dispute forum before dealing). It is clearer than the bare name 'model_clauses', but it never distinguishes itself from close siblings like submission_clause, which an agent must choose between.

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?

Usage is only implied by the framing sentence ('before we make a deal'), and one useful exclusion is stated ('Adding the wording does not register either agent with the Court'). There is no explicit when-to-use vs. alternatives guidance and no pointer to the sibling that actually performs registration.

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