-}New value: +nullDoes the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only says 'retrieve', which implies a read-only operation, but it does not mention authentication requirements, error handling (e.g., not found), rate limits, or any side effects. The lack of detail is a significant gap for a tool with zero annotation coverage.
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, well-structured sentence that front-loads the core action and includes the key lookup criteria without unnecessary words. It earns its place and is easy to scan.
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?
Given the lack of output schema, annotations, and a structured input schema, the description must carry substantial explanatory weight. It fails to specify how to pass the lookup keys, what the response contains, or any constraints. An agent would likely need additional information to call this tool correctly, making it incomplete.
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 input schema is empty (additionalProperties: true, no properties), so the description is the only source of parameter guidance. It names the two identifiers (application ID or applicant email) but does not specify exact parameter names, formats, or whether they are required or mutually exclusive. This adds some meaning beyond the schema but remains imprecise.
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 ('Retrieve') and a resource ('status of previously submitted SecureLend enquiries'), and clarifies the lookup keys (application ID or applicant email). This clearly distinguishes it from siblings like get_offer or get_multiple_offers, which focus on offer details rather than status tracking.
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 does not specify when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention any exclusions or prerequisites. The context implies it is for tracking after submission, but this is not explicit, leaving the agent to infer usage.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
