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

Annotations declare destructiveHint=true, openWorldHint=true and idempotentHint=true, so this tool sends data externally and is flagged destructive. The description says nothing about external processing consent, what artifacts are created or overwritten, or the payment/invoice path that the schema implies. With such a consequential operation, the description leaves the agent uninformed.

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?

A single, front-loaded sentence with no wasted words. However, it is under-specified rather than appropriately concise for a destructive, open-world operation with nested inputs.

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?

No output schema, six parameters including a nested inputs object, external data transmission and a destructive flag — this is a high-consequence tool that warrants more than one sentence. Missing: what the RFI output looks like, how prior-agent sources are used, and how idempotency/subsequent calls behave.

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 67% and the nested 'inputs' object is well annotated, so the schema carries most of the burden. The description adds no parameter guidance, and required fields like consentExternalProcessing, idempotencyKey and sourceFields semantics are left entirely to the schema. Baseline 3 applies.

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?

Clear verb+resource ('Create a focused RFI') with a stated goal ('qualify suppliers'). The clause 'before starting an RFP' implicitly contrasts with the sibling xrfp-drafter, though the distinction is only implied rather than named.

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?

The timing hint 'before starting an RFP' gives implied usage context, but there is no explicit when-not-to-use, no naming of alternatives such as xrfp-drafter, and no mention of prerequisites like source runs or consent.

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