A4/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations only declare the generic safety flags (not read-only, not destructive, not idempotent, closed-world), so the description earns credit for disclosing that auth is required, that matchmaking is peer-first with a house fill after ~12s, and that the resulting ticket is tagged league=rookie. It does not explain what happens to the queue entry on repeated calls, which matters given idempotentHint=false.

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?

Four short, front-loaded segments — action, WHEN, auth, side effect — plus a concrete example. No filler sentences and nothing buried at the end.

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 need not be explained, and the description covers auth, game sourcing, and the ticket tagging. The notable gap is the exit path: nothing points at arena_leave_queue or explains queue abandonment, which an agent joining a non-idempotent queue would want.

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 every parameter (key, game, guest_token) is already documented with its accepted format and provenance. The description only reinforces this with a single example call using the game parameter, adding no syntax or constraints beyond the schema.

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 ('Join Rookie League') and pins down scope with 'Surfaces league=rookie on the ticket', which separates it from the generic queue-joining siblings. It stops short of naming the near-identical siblings (arena_join, arena_join_queue) outright, so an agent must infer the distinction from the league marker.

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?

The explicit 'WHEN:' clause gives a clear trigger condition and adds matchmaking context ('peer-first; house fills after ~12s') that tells the agent what to expect after calling. It offers no exclusion or alternative path, though, so the agent gets no guidance on when arena_join_queue would be the better choice.

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