Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, covering the safety profile. The description adds that it accepts keywords, which is a behavioral nuance, but doesn't detail return structure or pagination. This is consistent with annotations, so no contradiction.
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, front-loaded sentence with no filler. It communicates the core action and examples efficiently, making it easy to parse.
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?
An output schema exists, so return format is covered. The description doesn't mention limit behavior, search matching (exact vs fuzzy), or pagination, but for a simple lookup tool this may be adequate. It could be more complete but is not critically incomplete.
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 explain parameters. It clarifies that the 'brand' parameter can be a keyword, which adds value beyond the schema. However, the 'limit' parameter is not described at all, leaving ambiguity about its type (string) and purpose.
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 tool finds alt-asset indices by brand or keyword, with concrete examples (wine, watches, art, cars). This is specific and distinct from sibling tools that retrieve individual assets or list all assets, though it doesn't explicitly name alternatives.
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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives like get_real_asset or list_real_assets. The usage is only implied by the purpose, with no explicit exclusions or mention of when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
