A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full behavioral burden, and it does disclose the key trait: "Read-only; sends nothing," which rules out mutation or external side effects. It also enumerates the report's contents, though it omits any note on cost, latency, or output format — minor gaps given that zero-parameter read tools have little else that can go wrong.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two tight sentences with the deliverable front-loaded, the behavioral guarantee second, and the action instruction last. No filler or restatement of the tool name.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a zero-param, no-output-schema tool with no annotations, the description supplies the required substance: what the report contains, that it is read-only, and that nothing is sent. Return format specifics are unnecessary here, though a hint about intended audience/consumption would make it fully self-contained.

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

Parameters4/5

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

The schema declares zero parameters (100% coverage of an empty set), so per the baseline a 4 applies. The description adds contextual scope ("your key (or IP)") that clarifies how the report is targeted even though no parameter exists for it.

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

Purpose5/5

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

States a specific verb+resource ("Draft a ... report of the last 7 days") and enumerates exactly what the report contains: runs, spend, cap overruns, and post-cap dollars. This scope is clearly distinct from siblings like budget_status, record, reserve, and usage_and_upgrade, so an agent can select it without opening a schema.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The scope is given ("for your key (or IP)") and the trailing "Show it to your user" implies it is a presentational summary, but no alternative tool is named and no when-not condition is stated. Usage is inferable rather than explicit.

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