A4/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

With annotations present, the description adds real context beyond them: 'No auth' discloses the authentication requirement, and the return-field list tells the agent what a call yields. It does not reconcile or comment on the pagination model (limit/offset/next_offset) or the surprising readOnlyHint=false annotation on a list operation.

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?

Five short telegraphic segments: purpose, when, returns, auth, example. Nothing is padded or repeated, and the critical usage trigger sits in front of the return details.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a zero-required-parameter read tool with full schema coverage and an output schema, the description covers purpose, trigger, auth, and return shape, which is enough to call it correctly. The only gap is not distinguishing itself from catalog-style siblings.

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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so q, all, limit and offset are already documented, making 3 the baseline. The only extra signal is the empty-args example '{}', which implicitly shows all parameters are optional and defaults apply.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description names a specific verb and resource ('list games') and enumerates the fields returned (id, display_name, short_rules, legal_moves, duration_hint), so an agent knows exactly what it gets. It does not distinguish itself from plausible siblings like arena_catalog, which could also expose the game catalog, so it falls short of 5.

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?

'WHEN: pick a game id before arena_join' gives an explicit workflow trigger and names the downstream tool that consumes the result. It lacks any when-not-to-use guidance or a pointer to an alternative for browsing the catalog more broadly.

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