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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=false, so safety is covered. The description adds one genuinely useful behavior fact — no charge occurs — but says nothing about what happens if no plan exists, whether quotes expire, or what the quoted figure represents.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence with no filler. It is efficient, though the brevity leaves the undeclared assumptions (which plan, what is returned) unaddressed.

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?

No output schema, no parameters, and only light annotations mean the description must carry more weight than it does. It omits the return shape (single price vs. itemized breakdown) and the implicit input (which plan), which an agent needs to call this correctly and interpret the result.

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?

With zero parameters the baseline would be 4, but a zero-parameter pricing call needs the description to explain what implicit context supplies the plan. It does not, so an agent cannot tell whether a plan must be prepared first via soclo_articles_plan or whether the quote targets a default/last-generated plan.

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?

It names a verb (quote) and a resource (price of a topic plan), which is clearer than the bare title. But 'topic plan' is not a concept defined anywhere in the description, and the sibling set contains several close neighbors (soclo_articles_prices, soclo_articles_draft_quote, soclo_articles_publish_quote, soclo_quote, soclo_quote) that the description does nothing to separate itself from.

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?

'Before anything is charged' implies a pre-purchase estimate step, which is useful implied usage. However, it never states when to use this instead of soclo_articles_prices or one of the other quote variants, and no prerequisites or ordering constraints are given.

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