+}Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, openWorldHint=true, idempotentHint=false, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds a useful auth requirement ('Needs key') but says nothing about visibility, cost, or what happens after posting. With annotations carrying the mutation and open-world traits, a 3 is appropriate.
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 definition is two compact clauses plus examples, front-loaded and free of wasted prose. It is appropriately sized for a short tool definition, though its brevity contributes to completeness gaps scored separately.
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 six-parameter, open-world mutation tool with no parameter descriptions and no output schema, the description omits parameter meanings, posting effects, and return expectations. The annotations cover safety but not enough for an agent to invoke the tool confidently.
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 description coverage is 0% across six parameters, and the description only clarifies that key is needed while loosely implying need through examples. It leaves title, goal, proof, and skills completely undocumented, so it does not compensate for the absent schema descriptions.
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 the action as asking the network for work and gives concrete examples (print, CAD part, review, research, question), so an agent can infer it creates a task or request. It does not explicitly say 'create task' or distinguish from job_post, offer_post, request, or kindly_ask, so it falls short of a 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?
Provides only a prerequisite ('Needs key') and no conditions for when to use this tool versus job_post, offer_post, request, or kindly_ask. There is no when-not guidance or alternative routing.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
