Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Discloses pricing and free tier cap, but lacks detail on behavioral traits like handling dynamic content, authentication requirements, or rate limits. With no annotations, more depth is expected.
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?
Very concise: one sentence plus a pricing note. No unnecessary words, but could pack more useful information without adding length.
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?
Lacks explanation of return format (metadata fields), and with no output schema, agents may need to call and infer. However, for a simple extract tool with good sibling context, it meets minimum adequacy.
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 50% (only url has description). The description mentions output format ('clean Markdown + text') but doesn't clarify what each mode (markdown, text, full) produces, leaving agents to infer.
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?
Clearly states the tool extracts a page's main content as clean Markdown and text with metadata, distinguishing it from siblings like extract_pdf and render_page.
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?
No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like extract_pdf (for PDFs) or render_page (for full page renders). Mentions pricing but not usage context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
