Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, covering safety. Description adds context that it returns the caller's own network info as seen by Cloudflare, which is beyond 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?
Single sentence that is concise and front-loaded with the essential information. No wasted words.
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 and no output schema, the description sufficiently explains what the tool returns. Complete for a simple read-only info 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?
No parameters. Baseline is 4 as description adds no parameter information, but none is needed.
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?
Description clearly states it returns the caller's network ASN and organization as seen by Cloudflare. This is a specific verb+resource and distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_ip or get_location.
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?
No explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance. However, given the simple nature and sibling tools, usage is implied. Lacks explicit exclusion or alternative suggestions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Add one secure layer between your agents and this server.
Each tool targets a unique aspect of the caller's request or IP information (ASN, headers, IP, location, security, timezone, user agent, coordinates) with no overlap.
All tools follow a consistent 'get_' prefix followed by a clear noun (e.g., get_asn, get_headers), making naming predictable and uniform.
With 8 tools, the server provides a focused set of self-service IP and request data operations without being sparse or bloated.
The tool set covers all typical aspects of a caller's IP/request information (IP, location, timezone, security, headers, user agent, ASN, coordinates) with no obvious gaps.
