-}New value: +nullDoes the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the bar for additional disclosure is lower; even so, the description contributes zero behavioral context beyond the price. Pricing is not a behavioral trait.
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?
The description is short but not concise in a useful way: the single sentence is spent on price rather than tool behavior, so this is under-specification rather than well-structured completeness.
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 tool with one required parameter, no output schema, and many closely related sibling endpoints, the description is severely incomplete. Nothing in the description tells the agent what data will be returned or how this bundled call relates to the individual properties_basics_* tools.
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 0% and the description does not mention gnaf_id or explain what value to pass or what its format is. The parameter name is suggestive, but the description itself adds no semantic meaning.
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 text is only '**Price: 23¢ per call.**' – it never states what action the tool performs or what 'all basics' includes. The name and title hint at a bundle of basic property attributes for a G-NAF ID, but that is inference, not a stated purpose.
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 when-to-use guidance is given, and no alternatives are mentioned despite an extensive sibling set including properties_basics_bath_count, properties_basics_bed_count, properties_basics_dwelling_type, etc. An agent cannot determine whether to call this bundle or a specific basics endpoint.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
