how_the_trial_works

Read-only

How ElfHosted's $1, 7-day trial works: what you get, which products are not on trial, what happens on day 8, and how to cancel. Read from the trial page of the docs, with its link.

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds that the content is read from the trial page of the docs 'with its link', which gives a useful hint about the return payload. With no output schema, it could say more about the shape of the response (single page vs. summary), so it lands at adequate rather than rich.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence with a colon-delimited list of covered topics — every clause earns its place by telling the agent what questions the page answers. Minor redundancy between the name and the opening phrase, but nothing wasteful.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a zero-parameter read-only docs lookup with no output schema, the description gives enough: the source page, the topics covered, and the presence of a link in the result. The only missing piece is how it relates to the generic docs siblings.

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

Parameters4/5

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

The tool takes zero parameters, so there is nothing for the description to disambiguate. Baseline 4 applies; the absence of a 'no arguments needed' note is a trivial gap.

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 names the exact resource (ElfHosted's $1 7-day trial doc page) and enumerates the sub-topics it answers: what you get, excluded products, day 8, and cancellation. That is far more specific than the name alone. It stops short of naming the sibling it replaces (get_doc / search_docs) for trial questions, so sibling differentiation 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.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Usage is only implied by the topic list — an agent can infer 'use this for trial questions.' There is no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use statement, and no routing guidance against get_doc or search_docs, which are the obvious overlapping siblings.

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