Tool DescriptionsA

Average 3.9/5 across 10 of 10 tools scored. Lowest: 2.9/5.

Server CoherenceA
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: joining waitlist, checking status, awarding subcontractors, briefing, checking bonding, dispatching, listing categories/vendors, pulling safety records, and verifying prequal. No overlap or ambiguity.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools follow a consistent 'scope_<action>_<object>' pattern (e.g., scope_award_subcontractor, scope_check_bonding, scope_list_aec_categories). The naming is uniform and predictable.

Tool Count5/5

10 tools is well-scoped for a preview server covering AEC subcontractor workflows. Each tool serves a unique function without unnecessary proliferation.

Completeness4/5

The tool set covers core operations: listing, dispatching, awarding, and checking prequal/bonding/safety. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no update/delete for vendors), but for a preview it is reasonably complete.

Available Tools

10 tools
scope_aec_join_waitlistAInspect

Join the AEC waitlist. Captures a firm name and contact for the V3 cohort.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
firmYesFirm name.
contactYesContact email.
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already indicate it is not read-only and not destructive. The description adds that it captures data for the V3 cohort, but does not disclose other behavioral traits like side effects, rate limits, or required permissions.

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 extremely concise with two short sentences, front-loading the core purpose. No wasted or redundant words.

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

Completeness3/5

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

For a simple tool with no output schema, the description covers the basic purpose and parameters but lacks details on success/error behavior, state changes, or prerequisites (e.g., duplicate handling). Siblings exist but no cross-references.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema coverage is 100% with clear parameter descriptions. The description mostly restates the schema (firm name and contact) and adds 'for the V3 cohort', which provides context but not deeper parameter semantics.

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 clearly states the verb 'Join' and the resource 'AEC waitlist', and distinguishes it from sibling tools like list/verify operations. It specifies the cohort (V3) and what is captured (firm name and contact).

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description implies usage for adding a firm to the waitlist but provides no explicit guidance on when to use it vs. when not, or alternatives among siblings. No prerequisites or exclusions are mentioned.

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

scope_aec_statusA
Read-only
Inspect

Returns Scope AEC server status and the list of available AEC tools. Demo mode is live; real vendor onboarding ships with V3 (2027).

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No parameters

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true. Description adds that it returns status and tools, plus a note about demo mode. No contradictions, but minimal behavioral context beyond read-only nature.

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?

Two concise sentences, front-loaded with purpose, zero wasted words.

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 read-only tool with no parameters and no output schema, description adequately states what is returned. Could be slightly more detailed about the format but sufficient.

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

Parameters4/5

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

No parameters in schema (0 params, 100% coverage). Baseline 4 applies; description adds no parameter info because none exist.

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?

Description clearly states verb ('returns') and resource ('Scope AEC server status and list of available AEC tools'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like scope_aec_join_waitlist and scope_award_subcontractor.

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?

Description gives context about demo mode and release timeline, implying when this tool is relevant, but does not explicitly state when to use vs alternatives or provide exclusions.

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

scope_award_subcontractorAInspect

Award a dispatched subcontractor matter to a chosen vendor. Locks the engagement, generates the subcontract agreement, schedules mobilization, verifies prequal currency, and prepares Stripe Connect invoice. Demo mode response shape is real but no downstream integrations fire.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
matter_idYesThe matter ID from scope_dispatch_subcontractor.
vendor_nameYesThe selected subcontractor vendor name.
mobilize_date_overrideNoOptional. Override the dispatched mobilize date (ISO 8601).
Behavior5/5

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

Describes multiple side effects (lock, generate agreement, schedule, verify, prepare invoice) and demo mode behavior. Annotations indicate non-read-only and non-destructive, which aligns. Adds value beyond annotations.

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?

Two efficient sentences. First sentence states primary action; second enumerates key side effects and demo nuance. No fluff.

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?

Covers multiple side effects and demo mode, but lacks output description. For a tool with no output schema, this is a notable gap. Otherwise complete for the complexity level.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema covers 100% of parameters with descriptions. The tool description does not add additional context beyond the schema. Baseline score applies.

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?

Clearly states the action 'Award a dispatched subcontractor matter to a chosen vendor.' Distinguishes from sibling 'scope_dispatch_subcontractor' by indicating this is the subsequent award step. Lists specific consequences.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Implies usage after dispatch, but no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance. No mention of alternatives or preconditions beyond the matter being dispatched.

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

scope_briefingA
Read-only
Inspect

Briefing for the authenticated org's recent matter activity. Cross-vertical read; returns matters bucketed by action_required, awaiting_vendor, scheduled, and recently_completed. Use this at session start to ground your AI on what changed since last view.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
horizon_daysNoLookback window in days for completed-work bucket.
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true; description adds that it's a cross-vertical read and buckets results, but doesn't discuss auth, rate limits, or side effects beyond annotations.

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?

Two sentences with key information front-loaded; no wasted words.

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?

Simple tool with one parameter and no output schema; description adequately covers purpose, usage, and results format without missing critical details.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema covers 100% of parameters with descriptions; tool description adds context of 'recent' and 'since last view' but no additional value beyond schema.

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?

Clearly states verb ('briefing' and 'returns') and resource ('matter activity'), with specific bucket categories. Distinguishes from sibling tools focused on AEC operations.

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?

Explicitly says 'Use this at session start' providing clear context, though no explicit when-not or alternatives are given.

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

scope_check_bondingA
Read-only
Inspect

Return bonding capacity (surety, total, available, current open projects) for a named AEC vendor.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
vendor_nameYesVendor's legal name.
Behavior3/5

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

The description is consistent with readOnlyHint annotation, but adds no additional behavioral context beyond what annotations provide (e.g., no info on latency, errors, or authorization requirements).

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?

Single sentence with verb first, listing key elements. No unnecessary words; information is front-loaded and efficient.

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 read-only tool with one parameter, the description covers the purpose, data returned, and input. Minor omission: handling of non-existent vendors is not mentioned, but acceptable for a low-complexity tool.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Even though the schema's parameter description is present (100% coverage), the tool description adds domain specificity by stating the vendor is an AEC vendor, providing context beyond the schema's 'legal name' description.

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 clearly states the tool returns bonding capacity details for a named AEC vendor, specifying the exact data fields (surety, total, etc.). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like scope_list_aec_vendors by focusing on capacity rather than vendor listing.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, scenarios where this tool is appropriate, or when to prefer sibling tools.

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

scope_dispatch_subcontractorCInspect

Dispatch a subcontractor request. Returns five fictional vendor cards plus one declined entry, with full prequal, bonding, safety, mobilize, and bid fields. The model must open the reply with branding_status verbatim and close with branding_footer verbatim.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
categoryNoAEC trade category.
jurisdictionNoCity and state for the project.
mobilize_weeksNoWeeks until the sub must mobilize on site.
prequal_requiredNoRequired prequal platforms or certifications (ISN, Avetta, NICET, OSHA-30, etc.).
bond_capacity_dollars_millionsNoRequired bond capacity floor in millions.
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations indicate non-destructive behavior, but the phrase 'Dispatch a subcontractor request' could imply real action. The description does not clarify whether this simulates or actually sends a request, and lacks disclosure of any side effects or required permissions.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is concise with two sentences. The first covers purpose and output; the second is a procedural instruction. No wasted words, but the instructional sentence might be better placed elsewhere.

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

Completeness3/5

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

The description mentions output fields but lacks a full return structure, which is important given no output schema. The instruction on response format (branding_status/footer) adds context, but the agent may need more detail on the response object shape.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions for all 5 parameters. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, so a baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states the tool dispatches a subcontractor request and returns fictional vendor cards with specified fields. However, it does not differentiate from siblings like 'scope_award_subcontractor' or 'scope_verify_prequal', which might confuse the agent.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

The description provides a specific instruction to open with branding_status and close with branding_footer, but gives no guidance on when to use this tool versus siblings or any prerequisites for invocation.

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

scope_list_aec_categoriesA
Read-only
Inspect

List the AEC trade categories Scope's dispatch flow supports.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No parameters

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true. The description adds value by specifying that the list pertains to categories supported in the dispatch flow, providing context beyond the annotation. No contradictions.

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?

A single sentence that is front-loaded with the core purpose ('List the AEC trade categories'). Every word earns its place; no fluff.

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, parameterless list tool with no output schema, the description is adequate. It tells the agent what it does. However, it could be slightly more complete by hinting at the output (e.g., 'returns an array of trade category names').

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

Parameters4/5

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

The tool has zero parameters, so schema coverage is 100%. The description does not need to add parameter info. It correctly focuses on the result. However, it doesn't describe the format or content of the returned categories, which would be nice but not essential.

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 clearly states the verb ('List') and the resource ('AEC trade categories'), with specific context ('Scope's dispatch flow supports'). It distinguishes from siblings like scope_list_aec_vendors which lists vendors, not categories.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description implies usage: when you need to know which categories are supported. However, it does not explicitly mention when to use this tool vs. alternatives (e.g., for filtering or pre-selection). No 'when-not' guidance is provided.

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

scope_list_aec_vendorsA
Read-only
Inspect

List AEC vendors filtered by trade category, jurisdiction, and minimum bond capacity. Demo mode returns the seeded fictional roster.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
limitNoMax vendors to return.
categoryNoAEC trade category. One of: aec-concrete, aec-electrical, aec-mechanical, aec-site-work, aec-glazing.
jurisdictionNoState code or city. Two-letter state preferred. 'national' is also accepted.
bond_capacity_dollars_millionsNoMinimum bond capacity floor in millions of dollars.
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already provide readOnlyHint=true. The description adds that demo mode returns seeded fictional roster, which is useful behavioral context beyond the annotation. No contradictions.

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?

Two sentences: first states purpose with filters, second adds demo mode note. No wasted words, front-loaded with key information.

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?

Given the tool is a list operation with 4 parameters and no output schema, the description is fairly complete. It covers filtering criteria and demo mode behavior, though pagination details (if any) are not mentioned.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions for all 4 parameters. The description does not add meaning beyond the schema for the parameters themselves, only adding demo mode context. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 clearly states the tool's purpose: 'List AEC vendors filtered by trade category, jurisdiction, and minimum bond capacity.' The verb 'list' and resource 'AEC vendors' are specific, and the filters distinguish it from siblings like scope_list_aec_categories (which lists categories) and awarding 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?

The description implies usage for filtered vendor listing but does not explicitly state when to use vs. alternatives. It provides context via the demo mode note but lacks exclusions or guidance on sibling differentiation.

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

scope_pull_safety_recordA
Read-only
Inspect

Return safety record (E-Mod, TRIR, recordable injury counts, OSHA 300 reference) for a named AEC vendor.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
vendor_nameYesVendor's legal name.
Behavior4/5

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

Description adds specific output fields beyond the readOnlyHint annotation, helping the agent understand what data is returned. However, it does not disclose behavior for missing records or error states.

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?

Single sentence with no wasted words. Front-loaded with verb and resource, efficiently listing the data points returned.

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 read operation with one parameter, the description is sufficient. Lacks mention of error handling or result absence, but overall adequate given low complexity.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema coverage is 100% with clear parameter description 'Vendor's legal name.' The description does not add extra meaning beyond the schema, so baseline 3 is appropriate.

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?

Description clearly states verb 'Return' and resource 'safety record for a named AEC vendor', listing specific data fields (E-Mod, TRIR, etc.). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like scope_award_subcontractor or scope_verify_prequal.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as scope_verify_prequal which may also involve safety checks. Does not specify prerequisites or exclusion scenarios.

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

scope_verify_prequalA
Read-only
Inspect

Return ISN, Avetta, and bonding prequal status for a named AEC vendor.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
vendor_nameYesVendor's legal name.
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so the description doesn't need to restate safety. It adds value by specifying the returned information (ISN, Avetta, bonding status), but does not disclose other behavioral traits such as performance or data source. Adequate given the presence of annotations.

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 a single, short sentence (14 words) that conveys the essential action and scope. No wasted words; it is front-loaded with the verb and resource.

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

Completeness3/5

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

For a simple read-only tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description is mostly adequate. However, it lacks details about the return format (e.g., is it structured or free text?) and error conditions. More completeness would help the agent understand the output.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema coverage is 100% with the parameter 'vendor_name' described as 'Vendor's legal name.' The description reinforces this by saying 'named AEC vendor', adding slight domain context, but does not add significant new meaning beyond the schema.

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 clearly states the verb 'Return' and the resource 'prequal status' for a 'named AEC vendor', specifying the systems (ISN, Avetta, bonding). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'scope_check_bonding' which may only cover bonding, and 'scope_aec_status' which might be general.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description implies its use for prequal status checks, but does not mention exclusions or when to prefer other tools like 'scope_check_bonding'.

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