Brazilian aircraft by registration, in batch

jt_aircraft_lookup_batch
Read-onlyIdempotent

Same profile as jt_aircraft_lookup for up to 25 registrations in one call (compact detail by default). Each item is found:true with the profile, or found:false with the reason. Debits one lookup per registration from the daily quota.

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the annotations, which already mark the operation as read-only and non-destructive, the description discloses per-item found:true/found:false behavior, compact detail as the default, and the quota cost of one lookup per registration. These are meaningful operational traits that an agent needs to predict behavior and avoid surprises.

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?

Three sentences, no filler, and the most important scoping information (same profile, max 25, compact default) is front-loaded. The later sentences cover result shape and quota impact, each earning its place.

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

Completeness5/5

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

With a high-coverage schema, an output schema, and annotations covering safety and idempotency, the description only needs to add batch-specific context. It provides the limit, result semantics, and quota effect, making the tool fully actionable for an agent.

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?

The schema already provides 100% parameter coverage, including the registrations array format, validation behavior, duplicate handling, and the compact/full enum. The description adds little beyond restating the default compact detail and the maximum batch size, which are already present in 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 names a specific action (batch aircraft lookup), a specific resource (Brazilian aircraft registrations), and a clear batching limit. It also explicitly frames itself as the batch counterpart to jt_aircraft_lookup, which distinguishes it from that sibling tool without requiring schema inspection.

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?

"Same profile as jt_aircraft_lookup for up to 25 registrations in one call" clearly indicates this tool is for batch lookups, implicitly setting the alternative as the single-registration tool. It does not explicitly say "use jt_aircraft_lookup for a single registration," but the contrast is strong enough to guide selection.

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