C2.7/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is fully covered by structured data. The description adds only that the payload is comprehensive in scope, without saying what happens for an unknown slug, whether an error is raised, or how large the response is. It neither contradicts nor meaningfully extends the annotations.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

It is a single front-loaded sentence with a colon-delimited list, which is structurally sound and short. But several list items are vague ('what you get', 'any operations'), so brevity comes at the cost of specificity rather than being purely efficient.

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

Completeness3/5

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

There is no output schema, so the description is the only source of return-value information, and it does gesture at the main content categories. Against the simplicity of a one-parameter read tool with rich annotations, that is roughly adequate, but the undefined slug and absent error/edge-case behavior leave gaps.

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 single parameter, slug, has 0% schema description coverage, so the description carries the full burden and does not meet it — 'slug' is never explained as the service identifier, its expected format, or where to obtain it. The items listed ('request fields', 'operations') describe response content, not the input, so they do not compensate for the schema gap.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose3/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description conveys that this is a detail-lookup for a single service and enumerates the kinds of content returned (request flow, response, scope/limits, fields, operations). However, it never states an explicit verb and shifts terminology from the tool name's 'proposition' to 'service', which leaves the agent to infer that these are the same entity. The singular framing loosely implies a contrast with list_propositions, but no explicit differentiation is made.

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?

There is no when-to-use guidance at all: nothing says to call this instead of list_propositions when the agent already has a slug, and nothing mentions the sibling tools. The description also never hints at what precondition must hold (a valid slug) before calling.

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