C2.8/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It does disclose the cost per call ($0.25), which is useful operational information, but it does not clarify read-only status, return format, pagination, or prerequisites. The name 'get' implies read-only, but this is not stated and the term 'Rank' could imply a computation or mutation.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is extremely concise and front-loaded, with the core purpose in the first sentence and the cost in the second. Every word earns its place, and there is no redundant or extraneous content.

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?

Despite the simple interface, the description lacks essential context: it does not explain what an 'assessment' is in this context, what 'intelligence-bound lift' means, what the output looks like, or how to supply the required assessmentId. An agent would struggle to correctly invoke this tool without additional information.

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

Parameters2/5

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

The schema has one required parameter (assessmentId) with no description, and the tool description does not mention this parameter at all. With 0% schema coverage, the description was expected to compensate by explaining what assessmentId refers to or how to obtain it, but it does not.

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 clearly states a specific action ('Rank upgrades') with a defined metric ('intelligence-bound lift per dollar'), making the core purpose understandable. However, it does not distinguish itself from sibling tools like generate_intelligence_bound_report, which may overlap.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No guidance is given on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as generate_intelligence_bound_report or get_eta_i_metric. The description implies a ranking use case but provides no explicit context, exclusions, or alternative recommendations.

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