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

Annotations already declare read-only, idempotent, non-destructive behavior, so the description adds value by explaining what each mode returns: latest indicator values in listing mode, and series with up to 240 points plus min/max/average in detail mode. It does not mention pagination, errors, or permissions, but the return behavior is well 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 compact and front-loaded, using two clear conditional clauses to explain the no-sectionId and with-sectionId cases. Every sentence carries useful information with no filler.

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?

With no output schema and only one optional parameter, the description is complete enough: it explains both modes, what the listing contains, what the detailed section contains, and the 240-point limit per indicator. An agent has enough information to choose the right call and interpret the result.

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 coverage is 100%, and the schema already documents sectionId as optional and sourced from the listing without sectionId. The description adds meaningful semantic context by explaining how the presence or absence of sectionId completely changes the response shape.

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 states the verb and resource, and it explicitly distinguishes the two modes: listing panorama sections without sectionId versus returning a full section with series when sectionId is supplied. It does not explicitly name sibling tools or explain how it differs from tools like get_indicator_series, so it falls short of a 5.

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?

It gives a clear usage pattern: call without sectionId to list sections, and with sectionId to retrieve detailed series. The schema reinforces that sectionId comes from the listing. It does not name alternatives or exclusions, but the conditional workflow is explicit.

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