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

Annotations already declare readOnly/ idempotent/ non-destructive, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds useful behavior beyond that: it is a self-scoped read (no target parameter) and it exposes capability gating by tier, which an agent could not infer from the empty schema.

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?

Two sentences, front-loaded with what the tool returns and ending with the operative usage rule. The parenthetical tier list is dense but each element earns its place by naming valid tier values.

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?

With no output schema present, the description carries the return-value burden and does so fully: tier values, plan and its expiry, and the per-capability open/tier mapping. Nothing essential for calling or interpreting this zero-arg tool is missing.

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?

The tool takes zero parameters, which is the baseline-4 case per the rubric. There are no fields to explain, and the description correctly gives no parameter guidance.

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?

The description clearly conveys that this is the caller's own account record, enumerating its contents (tier, plan, expiry, per-capability status). It implicitly distinguishes itself from lookalike siblings such as 'plans' by scoping to the caller, though no explicit verb (returns/fetches) is used.

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?

It gives a concrete when-to-use rule: 'Call it before telling a trader what they can or cannot do.' That is a clear trigger condition, but no alternative tools are named or excluded, so it falls short of the top-tier when/when-not/alternatives guidance.

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