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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, and non-destructive, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds genuinely new behavioral context beyond that: the tool is pollable (pending until a reply arrives, then answered) and carries an explicit trust boundary warning that reply content is data, not instructions — a meaningful prompt-injection disclosure.

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?

Three tight sentences: purpose first, then polling behavior, then the trust caveat. Every sentence carries distinct information and nothing is padded.

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?

For a single-parameter read tool with an output schema and full annotation coverage, nothing an agent needs is missing. The polling semantics and the injection warning go beyond what structured fields provide, closing the remaining gaps an agent would otherwise have to discover by trial.

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?

Only one parameter exists and the schema already documents it fully (coverage 100%, including the ^fb_[0-9a-f]{32}$ pattern and the note that submit_feedback returned it), so the baseline of 3 applies. The description repeats the ticket-id linkage but adds no format or validation detail beyond the schema.

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 (Read) and resource (maintainers' reply to feedback), and ties it causally to the sibling tool submit_feedback via the ticket id. An agent can distinguish it from submit_feedback, screen_token, and wallet_identity without opening any 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?

Clearly establishes the precondition: this is used after submit_feedback, with the ticket id that call returned. It does not state any exclusions or alternative ways to retrieve feedback status, but the usage context is unambiguous.

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

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

Beyond the readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive annotations, it discloses the return shape (mention share, citation share, per-engine and buyer-prompt splits, rival counts, cited sites, fix list) and the two fixed matching rules (a repeated prompt is not a mention; a link counts only if it resolves to the brand domain). This is exactly the behavioral context annotations cannot carry.

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?

It is front-loaded with the call trigger, then what it returns, then the fixed rules and the exclusion, so no sentence is wasted. The density is high and it reads as one long paragraph rather than clearly segmented blocks, which slightly hurts scannability but not substance.

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?

For a 9-parameter, single-required-field tool with an output schema and full annotation coverage, the description supplies everything an agent needs: trigger conditions, input framing, matching rules, and scope limits. Return-value detail is redundant given the output schema but harmless.

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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3, but the description adds cross-parameter meaning by framing how inputs fit together ('pass the brand, its domain, rival names and every answer in answers, each with its prompt, engine and source links') and by tying the prompt-matching rule to why the prompt field matters. It stops short of documenting the aliases/competitor domain semantics, which remain schema-only.

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 opens with a precise trigger and a specific verb+resource: scoring whether pasted AI answers named or linked a brand, and computing the brand's share. It clearly separates this from the sibling tools (feedback replies/submission), which are unrelated to share scoring, so an agent can route to it without opening the 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 explicit when-to-use conditions (user pastes answers from ChatGPT/Perplexity/Google AI Mode/Claude and asks about naming, share, rivals, or remediation) and an explicit exclusion ('scores pasted text only and never queries an AI engine'), which tells the agent this is not a fetch/discovery tool.

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

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

Adds substantial context beyond the annotations: it returns a ticket id, feedback is explicitly not a chat and nothing in it is executed, and links/emails/phone numbers are stripped with nothing stored about the caller. That privacy and no-execution disclosure is genuinely useful given openWorldHint=true and readOnlyHint=false.

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?

Front-loads what the tool sends, then what to pass, then what it returns, in three dense sentences with no filler. Every clause carries actionable information.

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?

Covers purpose, the enumerated kinds, the optional tool/error inputs, the 1000-character bound, the return value (ticket id), and privacy handling. With an output schema present, nothing further is required for an agent to call it correctly.

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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all four parameters including the kind enum. The description restates the message length limit and the optionality of tool/error ('if you know them') but adds no syntax or format detail beyond the schema, making the baseline 3 correct.

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 ('Send feedback, a bug report or a tool request to the maintainers of the tools on this server') and enumerates the concrete situations (missing tool, stale data, broken/wrong answer). It is clearly distinguishable from the read-side sibling get_feedback_reply.

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?

Gives clear triggering conditions for each kind (need_tool, need_data, bug, other) and tells the agent to include the tool name and error text when known. It does not explicitly name the alternative get_feedback_reply or state when NOT to use this tool, so it falls short of full routing guidance.

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