A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and non-destructive behavior. The description adds a useful behavioral nuance: 'open_only is ignored when status is set' (in schema) and the description mentions both filters without detailing precedence, but the schema covers it. The description itself adds the 'for an agent' scope, which is not in annotations. It contributes a small but meaningful behavioral detail 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.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is two short sentences, front-loaded with the core purpose and then the optional filters. Every word earns its place; there is no redundancy or filler. It is an exemplar of concise, efficient tool documentation.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given that an output schema exists and annotations cover safety/idempotency, the description is adequate for a straightforward list operation. It does not mention pagination or result ordering, but these are typically specified in the output schema. The requirement for session_token is in the input schema, so the description doesn't need to repeat it. Overall, it is complete enough for an agent to call correctly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so all parameters are already documented in the input schema. The description adds no new meaning about parameters beyond what the schema provides; it only mentions the existence of status and open_only filters, which the schema already explains in detail. Baseline of 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a clear verb ('List') and resource ('orders') with an explicit scope ('for an agent'), and mentions optional filters. It unambiguously identifies the tool as a listing operation, distinguishing it from sibling tools like order_track (single order) or order_update_status (mutation).

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides clear context on what the tool does ('list orders for an agent') and the available filters (status, open_only), but it does not explicitly contrast it with alternatives or state when not to use it. The purpose is evident from the name and description, so it's clear context without exclusions.

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