-}New value: +nullDoes the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive behavior, so the description's main added value is clarifying the forecast scenario outputs (low / most-likely / high). There is no contradiction with annotations, but no additional behavioral context such as data limitations, availability, or confidence interpretation is disclosed.
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 a single, succinct sentence that front-loads the core meaning and includes the key output scenarios. Every part of the sentence adds relevant information with no waste.
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 simple read-only, single-parameter tool, the description covers the core purpose and expected output structure. It does not describe the response values in detail, but with no output schema, the low/most-likely/high breakdown provides reasonable completeness for an agent to understand what the tool returns.
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 schema has 0% description coverage and the description does not explain the suburb_name parameter beyond the tool's title. While the parameter name is somewhat self-explanatory, the description does not clarify acceptable formats, name variations, or how the forecast applies to the provided suburb.
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 clearly identifies the resource: a 1-year sale-price growth forecast for a suburb, and specifies the three scenario outputs: low / most-likely / high. It is specific enough to distinguish this from many siblings, though it lacks an explicit verb and does not directly differentiate itself from nearby tools like suburbs_market_price_growth or suburbs_hero_price_growth_12mo.
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 guidance is provided about when to use this tool versus alternative suburb market or growth tools. The description states only what the tool returns, not the conditions for choosing it over siblings such as suburbs_market_price_growth or suburbs_street_forecasts.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
