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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden, and it does disclose the return contents and the zero-argument, purely descriptive nature of the call. It stops short of explicitly stating read-only/no-side-effect behavior or the exact response shape, but for a metadata lookup that is a minor omission.

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, zero filler, with the returned field list front-loaded and the actionable workflow tip second. Every clause carries information.

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, but the description compensates by enumerating the returned field attributes, and it links to the consuming tool submit_enquiry. It is complete enough for a zero-param metadata tool, though it could note ordering or whether options are conditionally present.

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?

The tool takes no parameters, so there is no parameter semantics to document; the baseline for a zero-parameter tool is 4. Nothing in the description misrepresents the (empty) input contract.

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 states a specific resource and enumerates exactly what each field contains (key, label, type, required, help text, options), which is far more than a restatement of the name. It does not explicitly differentiate itself from the sibling enquiry_describe, which is the one gap keeping it from a 5.

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 gives concrete downstream guidance: answers should be passed to submit_enquiry keyed by field key, which tells the agent how this tool fits into the workflow. It does not state when this tool should be preferred over enquiry_describe, so no exclusions or explicit alternative routing.

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