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

Goes well beyond the annotations by disclosing cost ('Free'), a hard rate limit (once per hour per site, with 429 + retryAfterMinutes), and latency behavior ('Blocks for a few seconds'). These are exactly the operational facts the annotations (readOnlyHint=false, idempotentHint=false) cannot convey.

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?

Three sentences, each carrying distinct payload: what it does, when to use it, and its cost/limit/latency profile. The action and trigger are front-loaded and there is no filler.

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 fire-and-forget job trigger with no output schema, the description covers cost, limits, and blocking behavior well. It does not say where the resulting status can be observed (presumably get_indexing_status) or what happens to an in-flight weekly run, which is a modest gap.

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?

Only one parameter and schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema fully documents 'site'. The description adds nothing about the parameter's format or the enumeration of valid sites, so the baseline 3 applies.

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 (re-runs) and resource (the indexing check) and enumerates the concrete actions performed (sitemap fetch, GSC sitemap status, Bing submission). It is clearly a trigger/action tool rather than the read-only status counterpart, though it never names a sibling such as get_indexing_status to make the contrast explicit.

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?

Gives a concrete trigger condition: 'Use after fixing a sitemap or reconnecting Search Console,' which tells the agent when this is the right call. The hourly limit implies when not to call it, but no alternative tool is named for cases where the budget is exhausted or the agent merely wants to read status.

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