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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden. It usefully discloses the strict validation stance — the tool rejects rather than guesses, so applicability is never inferred from incomplete input — but says nothing about return shape, permissions, or any other behavior.

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, no filler, with the usage condition and the required-parameter constraint front-loaded. Efficient, though the rejection clause is somewhat verbose.

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?

With no annotations and no output schema, the description should also describe what the readiness assessment actually returns or evaluates. It covers usage and validation strictness but leaves the output/assessment content unexplained, so it is only partially complete for a six-parameter tool.

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 all six parameters including the two required ones. The description only reinforces that country and headcount are required and that mis-named/missing args are rejected, adding little beyond the schema. Baseline 3 applies.

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?

States a specific verb and domain: a first-pass readiness check for French/EU pay transparency obligations. This distinguishes it from request_demo_lead and the other siblings, though the framing leans on the 'before a demo' angle rather than a standalone definition.

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 when to use it ('when a user wants a first-pass readiness check ... before requesting a demo'). However, it gives no when-not conditions or named alternatives beyond the implicit contrast with the demo-request sibling.

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