B3.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

The annotations already disclose that this is a read-only, idempotent, non-open-world operation. The description adds the non-obvious fact that it returns a playable song card 'where the client supports MCP Apps', which is useful conditional behavior. Beyond that, it does not describe error cases, missing-field behavior, or output shape.

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 compact sentence grouping return fields, followed by one clarifying sentence about the song card. Front-loaded and efficient; slightly dense with the list of returns, but no wasted words.

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

Completeness3/5

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

For a one-parameter read-only tool with full schema coverage and annotations, the description is adequate. However, it leaves the agent guessing how it relates to the four overlapping siblings, and the conditional song-card behavior could be clearer about when it applies.

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 coverage is 100% with the slug parameter fully documented, including an example and an enum of valid values. The description adds nothing about the parameter, so the baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 clear verb+resource ('One Boots & Bassline song') and enumerates what it returns (about, audience, lyrics, preview, streaming links). It does not differentiate itself from siblings like find_song, get_lyrics, or get_listening_links, which overlap significantly.

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 guidance on when to use this tool versus find_song, get_lyrics, or get_listening_links. The agent is left to infer that this is a general-purpose detail fetch, but the overlapping siblings make that inference risky.

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