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

The annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds useful behavioral context by stating 'It sends nothing; the customer sends the request themselves,' which prevents the agent from treating this as an outbound message-sending action. It does not describe return formatting or pagination, but that is minor here.

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?

The description is two tight sentences with no wasted text. It front-loads the core purpose and immediately clarifies the non-sending behavior, which is the most important nuance for an agent to understand.

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 simple read-only guidance tool with fully documented optional parameters, rich annotations, and no output schema, the description is complete enough. It states what the tool provides: the address and what to include so engineers can answer without back-and-forth.

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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, and both optional parameters already have clear descriptions in the schema. The description does not add specific meaning about how series or application affect the guidance, so the baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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 states the tool's purpose: it provides the address and the information to include when asking BAE Batteries USA for a quote or price. It is specific about the resource and even clarifies that the tool sends nothing, but it does not explicitly differentiate itself from siblings such as sizing_tool or find_series.

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?

Usage is implied: an agent should use this when a customer needs quote or pricing contact instructions rather than product data. However, there is no explicit when-to-use guidance, no exclusions, and no named alternatives among the sibling tools.

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