Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of disclosing side effects. It only says 'Signed as the account,' which implies an authenticated action, but does not state what the offer does, whether it is reversible, what permissions are needed, or what the response looks like.
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 and front-loads the parameters, but the brevity sacrifices clarity. The fragmented structure and cryptic verb phrase make it less effective than a concise, complete sentence would be.
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?
Given five parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the agent needs much more information. The description does not explain the result, return value, side effects, or how this tool fits into the validator lifecycle, making it inadequate for correct invocation.
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%, so the description must compensate by explaining parameter meanings. It merely lists {account, endpoint, skill?, minFeeBps?} without defining them, omits the 'description' parameter, and provides only optional markers as extra information.
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 uses 'Offer to judge' as the action and lists the main parameters, which suggests registering as a validator, but it never explicitly states 'register validator' or explains what the offer does. The phrasing is ambiguous and does not clearly distinguish this from sibling tools like accept_solution or raise_dispute.
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?
There is no guidance about when to use this tool versus alternatives such as resign_validator or list_validators. No prerequisites, use cases, or conditions are provided, leaving the agent to guess the appropriate context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
