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

Annotations already declare the safety profile, and the description adds useful context: the lookup 'does not start another analysis' (no costly side computation) and it does not report the company's own status. However, the 'lookup' framing sits uneasily against readOnlyHint=false, and the description never explains why this read-flavored call is flagged as non-read-only. This tension weakens the behavioral disclosure.

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?

Three sentences, front-loaded with the tool's purpose and what it returns, with minimal waste. There is mild redundancy in restating that 'this list covers qualification' after already naming it the qualification list.

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?

There is no output schema, yet the description explains the shape of the return (excerpts with conditions, exceptions and evidence by page) and the scope boundaries. For a read/lookup tool this is nearly complete; only the readOnlyHint=false tension leaves a small unanswered question.

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 100%, so the schema already documents the id source (get_procurement) and the credential parameters in detail. The description adds nothing about any parameter. A baseline 3 is correct when the schema carries the full burden.

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 names a specific resource (the tender's qualification list) and specifies its content — literal excerpts of conditions, exceptions and evidence by page. It also distinguishes itself from the dossier, so an agent can separate it from neighboring document tools, though the verb is implied rather than stated.

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?

It clearly routes the agent: deadlines, proposals and other obligations live in the dossier, while this tool covers qualification and required attestations, and it explicitly notes it 'does not state what the company has.' That is clear scope guidance with no exclusions beyond the dossier reference.

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