The annotations already establish that this is a safe, read-only, idempotent operation. The description adds that it is used after payment and returns order id, status, and print week, but it does not clarify status semantics, error behavior, or whether it returns one order or a collection.
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 very short and front-loads the post-payment context, but it is a fragment rather than a well-structured explanation. Its brevity comes at the cost of missing essential detail.
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 status tool, the description should at least explain the required session parameter and clarify what status information is returned. It lists some return fields but leaves the calling contract under-specified, with no output schema to fill the 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?
The only parameter, "session", is required but has zero schema description coverage, and the description does not explain what the session represents or how it should be supplied. With low schema coverage, the description was expected to compensate but does not.
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 implies a post-payment print-plate status lookup and mentions returned fields, but it never states an explicit verb such as retrieve or get. It is understandable with the tool name, yet the purpose remains vague and sibling differentiation is only implicit.
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?
"After payment" gives an implied usage context, which is useful. However, it does not explicitly say when to use this versus print_plate_checkout, print_plate_quote, or other status tools, nor does it state exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
