+]Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint=false, so safety is covered. The description adds a genuinely useful trait not present in structured data: the call itself is "Free", which matters for cost-aware planning.
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?
A single tight sentence that front-loads the returned resource (remaining balance) and appends the secondary fact (spend so far) plus the cost note. No filler, no redundancy with the title.
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 correctly names both returned values (remaining balance and spend). It omits minor details such as freshness/refresh behavior or whether balance can go negative, but it is adequate for a no-argument read tool.
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 (100% schema coverage, empty object), so the baseline is 4; there is nothing parameter-related to document or clarify.
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 connected account's remaining prepaid balance in USD, and what it has spent so far" names a concrete resource and its scope, and the title supplies the missing verb ("Check"). It does not need sibling differentiation since none of call/discover/feedback/get_result/quote/rate touch balance, but it also never states that.
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: the trailing "Free." hints this is a zero-cost probe an agent can run before paid operations, but there is no explicit when-to-use, prerequisite, or alternative named. An agent can infer the intent but is given no routing guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
