A3.9/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Adds real value beyond the annotations by disclosing the visible side effect ("Shows in their rival feed + optional webhook") and the auth requirement. That's the kind of downstream consequence annotations can't express. It doesn't say whether the request can be repeated or how the rival is notified beyond the feed.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loaded and terse: purpose, trigger, effect, auth, example — each clause carries information. The opening repeats the title verbatim, which is a small redundancy rather than a flaw.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values needn't be described, and the description covers trigger, side effect, and auth for a 3-param mutation. Only the role of match_id and any repeat/rate limits are left unaddressed.

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 the baseline is 3. The inline example {"handle":"<handle>"} usefully shows the minimal valid call, but it never explains the optional match_id (tying the rematch to a specific game) or when to omit it.

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?

States a specific verb+resource ("Request rematch") and immediately scopes it to nudging a rival for another game, which separates it from match-entry tools like arena_join or arena_find_match. It stops short of naming a sibling alternative explicitly, so it is clear but not fully differentiated.

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: nudge a rival for another game after a loss" gives an explicit trigger condition and a precondition (you already played them). There are no when-not conditions or named alternatives, so it lands at clear-but-not-exhaustive.

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