A4.4/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, and non-destructive, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds genuinely new context beyond them: results are bounded (latest 20 resumes) and unconfirmed facts are "suggestions, not permission or truth," which materially changes how an agent should treat the returned data.

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 with the resource list, then the usage trigger, then the caveat — a sound ordering with no filler sentences. "Never modifies anything" is slightly redundant with readOnlyHint but is short and reinforces the read-only contract rather than wasting space.

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

Completeness5/5

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

A parameterless read tool with an output schema is a low-complexity case, and the description still covers trigger conditions, result bounds, and data-trust caveats. Nothing an agent needs in order to call this correctly is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The tool takes zero parameters, so there is nothing for the description to disambiguate and the baseline of 4 applies. The enumerated return contents are useful framing even though they belong to the output schema.

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

Purpose5/5

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

Specific verb ("Read") plus an enumerated resource list: career preferences, saved facts, completeness, plan, remaining usage, latest 20 resumes, and client send grant. An agent can distinguish this from siblings like get_application or get_job without opening any schema.

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?

Explicitly says to call it "before suggesting profile edits or paid actions," which gives a concrete trigger condition. It does not name a sibling alternative outright, but combined with "Never modifies anything" it implicitly routes edits to update_profile.

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