Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is fully covered. The description adds only the notion of a 'remaining' quantity; it says nothing about auth requirements, how the trial is resolved, or behavior when quota is exhausted. Minimum viable given the annotation coverage.
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?
One front-loaded sentence with no filler; the verb and resource come first. It is efficient, though the brevity borders on under-specification rather than true economy.
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?
For a read tool with no output schema and an opaque pass-through parameter, the description should explain what 'remaining quota' looks like and how to target a specific trial. Neither is present, leaving the agent unable to determine inputs or expected results.
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?
Although the coverage metric reads 100%, the sole parameter is a free-form 'query' object whose only documentation is the tautology 'Optional query parameters.' The description provides no information about which query keys are meaningful or how to identify the trial, so an agent cannot construct a correct call from either source.
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?
States a specific verb and resource: checking remaining trial quota. It is clearly distinguishable from every sibling (none of the affix_* tools deal with trials or quotas), though it doesn't explicitly contrast itself with an alternative. The scope is narrower than a generic 'get status' tool, which helps.
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?
No guidance on when to call this versus other affix_* verification/status tools, and no prerequisites stated. 'For a registered trial' implies the trial must already exist, but the description doesn't say how that registration is established or what happens if the trial is unknown or expired.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
