Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Description adds context beyond annotations: it reveals that the tool shows which creditor account the API key belongs to, enhancing understanding of its read-only and idempotent nature.
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?
Two sentences, front-loaded with purpose and usage, zero waste. Every word adds value.
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?
Given zero parameters, no output schema, and simple action, the description fully covers what an agent needs: what it does and when to use it.
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?
No parameters exist, so baseline is 4. Description adds no parameter info, but none needed. Schema coverage is 100%.
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?
Description clearly states it verifies connection and shows which creditor account the API key belongs to, using specific verb 'verify' and resource 'connection'. It distinguishes from sibling tools that handle cases and accounts.
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?
Explicitly says 'Call this first to confirm the integration is set up correctly', providing clear when-to-use guidance and no ambiguity about its role as a health check.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Each tool targets a distinct resource or action—creation, preview, listing, detail, and case-specific sub-resources (activity, contracts, messages, payments, tasks, files). The potentially overlapping task tools (list_tasks vs get_case_tasks) are explicitly cross-referenced and scoped differently.
Consistent verb_noun pattern throughout: create_, get_, list_, send_, upload_, preview_. Case-specific reads use get_case_* suffix pattern, and ping is the only utility exception.
16 tools is slightly above the ideal 3-15 range, but each tool earns its place in a comprehensive case-management API; no redundant tools.
Core lifecycle is covered (preview, create, list, get, sub-resources, messaging, file upload). Minor gaps include no case update/withdraw and no direct resolution for task types like SelectQuoteWinner, but these are mostly platform-controlled or handled via solutionUrl.
