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

Annotations already establish readOnly/non-destructive/non-open-world, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds return-shape behavior: a cap of 10 results and the per-result id/title/URL fields, plus the fact that the text block mirrors the JSON as a string. That is useful 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 tight sentences with the relationship to search_knowledge and the caller contract front-loaded. The trailing 'text block is the same JSON as a string' is relevant but slightly cryptic in isolation.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be re-explained, yet the description usefully summarizes the result shape and count cap. Nothing an agent needs to invoke it correctly appears to be missing.

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?

There is a single 'query' parameter with 100% schema description coverage, including the note that question words are ignored. The description adds nothing about the parameter, so the baseline 3 applies.

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 and resource ('the same search as search_knowledge') and immediately differentiates itself from that sibling by its shape ('in the shape ChatGPT connectors and deep research call by name'). An agent can tell search apart from search_knowledge without opening either schema.

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?

It gives clear context for when this variant applies (ChatGPT connector / deep research callers invoking by name) rather than a generic search. There is no explicit when-not or a named fallback beyond the implied search_knowledge equivalence.

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