-}New value: +nullDoes the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so the description carries the full burden. It only says 'Compare' and does not disclose what behavior to expect, such as whether it fetches live rates, displays a table, or has side effects. The absence of output or format details leaves the agent guessing about the 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 description is a single sentence that leads with the action verb. It is concise and has no filler, though 'commercial real estate' and 'business properties' are somewhat redundant and the phrase 'financing options' is generic.
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 tool with no annotations and no output schema, this is minimally viable but thin. It does not explain what the comparison output looks like, what criteria are used, or how this tool fits among the many compare_* siblings. An agent could call it correctly based on intent, but not with full confidence.
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 has zero parameters and an empty schema, so there are no parameter semantics for the description to supplement. The baseline for a parameterless tool is 4, and the description does not need to explain inputs that do not exist.
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 action, 'Compare', and a clear resource: 'commercial real estate financing options for business properties'. It clearly distinguishes this from calculation and payment siblings, though it does not explicitly distinguish it from compare_business_loans or compare_personal_mortgages.
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 guidance on when to use this tool versus siblings like compare_business_loans, compare_personal_mortgages, or calculate_mortgage_payment. The verb 'Compare' implies a comparison use case, but no conditions, exclusions, or alternative-selection criteria are provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
