A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

The annotations already establish read-only, idempotent, non-destructive, closed-world behavior. The description adds useful behavioral details beyond annotations: it is a two-call bundle, priced as the sum, with a stated 6¢ per call price. It stops short of describing output shape or data vintage.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is short, front-loaded with purpose, then sibling exclusions, then price. Each sentence adds distinct information, and there is no unnecessary filler.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a simple one-parameter bundle with no output schema, the description covers the data included, bundle composition, sibling exclusions, and cost. The main remaining gap is input format for suburb_name, but otherwise it is sufficiently complete for this tool's complexity.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The schema has one required suburb_name string with 0% description coverage, and the description refers only to 'the suburb' without specifying format, geographic disambiguation, or whether state/postcode is required. It provides minimal semantic meaning beyond the self-explanatory parameter name.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description names the specific resource — suburb population by age and gender plus household income by bracket — and states that it bundles two calls. It also explicitly excludes tenure, employment, family make-up, schooling and other Demographics topics, so an agent can distinguish this bundle from separate age/income or other family tools.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

It gives clear context for choosing this tool: two calls are bundled and priced as the sum, while other Demographics topics are separate. It does not explicitly say when to prefer this bundle over the individual age and income siblings, but the bundling statement strongly implies the combined-use case.

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