C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries full behavioral burden and discloses almost nothing: no indication of what the analysis returns, whether it is read-only or costs, or what the '[Pro]' tag implies operationally. The '[Pro]' marker is the sole behavioral hint and is unexplained, so an agent cannot tell whether the tool is gated or restricted.

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?

A single short sentence that front-loads the action and framework name, with no wasted clauses. The trailing '[Pro]' token is cryptic and slightly muddies an otherwise clean statement.

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

Completeness2/5

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

For a free-text analysis tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description should at least indicate what the agent gets back (a critique, a list of probing questions, a verdict) and when this framework is the right pick. Neither is present, leaving the agent to guess at the result shape and the selection criteria.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema description coverage is 100% for the single 'input' parameter, so the schema already explains that it accepts the problem, decision, project, or question to analyze. The description adds no further syntax, format, or length guidance, so the baseline 3 applies.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description states a specific verb ('stress-test') and object ('recommendations') tied to a named methodology, the 'So What?' framework, so the agent knows what operation it invokes. However, it does nothing to distinguish this framework from the 18 sibling framework tools (run_five_whys, run_first_principles, etc.), which all follow the same verb+framework pattern.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

There is no indication of when to choose this framework over run_swot, run_pre_mortem, or any other sibling. The only implicit guidance is that it targets 'recommendations', which is a weak signal against 19 similarly-shaped alternatives.

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