-}New value: +nullDoes the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=false; the description's one contributing fact is that results come from the internal SecureLend catalog, which reinforces the closed-world hint. It does not say what a result record contains (rates, fees, terms) or whether all accounts are returned in one call, which matters since there is no 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?
Two short sentences, purpose front-loaded, zero filler. Nothing could be removed without losing information.
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 no output schema, the description carries the burden of describing return values, yet it only says 'list options' — no indication of the fields (interest rate, minimum balance, fees) or result count. For a simple no-arg tool this is workable but leaves the agent guessing what comes back.
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?
Zero parameters, so the baseline is 4. The sentence 'This tool takes no inputs' is redundant with the empty schema but confirms the agent cannot filter or page, which is mildly useful.
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 ('savings account options from the SecureLend catalog'), and the product noun implicitly separates it from the many other compare_* siblings covering loans, mortgages and credit cards. It does not explicitly name an alternative, so it stops short of a 5.
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 product name; there is no statement of when to pick this over compare_personal_banking or compare_business_banking, and no prerequisites or exclusions. Adequate for an obvious zero-input catalog lookup, but nothing routes the agent explicitly.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
