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

Annotations already declare a safe, idempotent, non-destructive read, so the bar is low. The description does add a real access constraint ('Operators only'), but the sentence is cut off mid-clause, so any further behavioral detail (ordering, window semantics, return shape) is absent.

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 access restriction and the source of the data are front-loaded, which is good. However, the description is an unterminated fragment ending in 'with...', which reads as broken rather than concise.

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 one-parameter read tool with annotations covering safety, this is close to sufficient, and the operator restriction plus timestamp unit are the key facts. The truncated ending and the absence of any note on result ordering, window defaults, or whether results are paged leaves the definition visibly incomplete.

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?

Schema coverage is 0% for the single 'since' parameter, and the description fills that gap by specifying it is a unix-seconds timestamp. That is meaningful added semantics the schema does not provide. The incomplete trailing 'with…' suggests a second qualifier that was never delivered.

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 and resource: it reports listings that were removed via print_shop_remove, which clearly distinguishes it from the mutation sibling print_shop_remove and the other print_* tools. The trailing 'with…' truncation keeps it short of a full 5.

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?

'Operators only' tells the agent which callers should use it, and the 'since a time' framing implies an audit/polling use case. It never names an alternative tool or says when not to use it, so guidance is implied rather than explicit.

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