B3.1/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are present, so the description must carry the burden. It only conveys that the result is a PNG and is 'Free'; it does not disclose credential requirements, side effects, error behavior, or whether an existing image is returned. No contradiction with annotations exists since none are provided.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is one short sentence and is easy to scan. The 'Free.' fragment is an extra detail but does not significantly hurt concision; information is front-loaded with the result type.

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

Completeness2/5

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

With no output schema and no annotations, the description should explain return behavior and usage context more fully. It omits what happens when a filename is invalid, why jobId/jobToken are needed, and whether the returned PNG is binary or a path. The tool may be simple, but the current text leaves an agent to infer key details.

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

Parameters3/5

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

The schema already describes filename and jobToken, covering 67% of parameters. The description adds that the filename comes from the report or capture_screenshot, which clarifies the source of that parameter, but it does not explain jobId or jobToken beyond schema. This partial overlap yields a middling score.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description identifies the result as 'A screenshot PNG' and ties it to 'the report or returned by capture_screenshot,' making it clear this retrieves an already-produced screenshot rather than creating one. However, no explicit verb like 'retrieve' or 'fetch' is present; the noun-phrase description leans on the tool name for action.

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 phrase 'named in the report or returned by capture_screenshot' suggests the tool is used after report generation or a capture, which gives some context. It does not explicitly state when to prefer this tool over capture_screenshot or list alternatives/exclusions, so guidance is only implied.

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