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

With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden. It discloses the return structure (results grouped into six statutory categories) and the dependency relationship to assess_workplace, which is meaningful given there is no output schema. It stops short of stating that the list is static/exhaustive or noting any permission or rate-limit behavior, so it is not complete.

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 sentences, zero filler, and the purpose/grouping is front-loaded before the next-step instruction. Every clause earns its place.

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 zero-parameter, no-output-schema read tool this covers purpose, result structure, and the follow-up step. What is missing is minor: whether the checklist is fixed or configurable, and whether the six-category grouping is exhaustive.

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, so per the baseline the schema carries no semantics to explain. The description correctly adds no parameter prose because none is needed, and instead spends its words on output shape and workflow.

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 (List) and resource (hazard checklist) and anchors it to a concrete domain artifact (Gefährdungsbeurteilung) plus the statutory grouping (ArbSchG §5(3)). It explicitly distinguishes itself from the sibling assess_workplace by naming it.

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?

'Read this first, then pick IDs for assess_workplace' gives an explicit ordering and names the downstream tool, so an agent knows both when to call it and what to do with the result. No exclusions are stated, but the workflow routing is unambiguous.

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