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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=false, so safety is covered. The description adds data-semantics context (revisions are included; accepted maximum commitments differ from actual charged usage), but that clause is cryptic and doesn't say what permissions are needed or how the two figures relate, so it adds only modest value beyond the annotations.

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 sentences, front-loaded with the core purpose and no wasted preamble. The trailing commitment/usage sentence is relevant but under-explained, so it slightly undercuts the structure.

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 zero parameters, an output schema, and full read-only annotations, the description needn't explain return shape or safety. What is missing is disambiguation from the crowded private_agent_* family (catalog, budget, configure/follow/remove) and clarity on what 'subscription limits' and 'commitments' actually mean in this listing.

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 no parameters, so the baseline is 4. The description adds no parameter claims, which is correct, though it also gives no hint about output shape beyond the data semantics.

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 the resource precisely (reusable internal agent configurations, revisions, explicitly enabled subscription limits) and frames it as a read operation, so the agent knows what it gets. It does not, however, distinguish itself from close siblings like private_agent_catalog or private_agent_budget, and the second sentence about commitments vs usage sits ambiguously against the budget tool.

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 statement of when to call this versus private_agent_catalog, private_agent_budget, or private_agent_setup_configure/remove. The agent must infer the selection criteria from the tool name alone.

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