Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false and closed-world, so safety behavior is fully covered. The description adds only the word 'next', which signals the tool returns the upcoming deadline rather than a list or history. No further behavioral context is warranted for such a simple lookup.
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?
A single short sentence with no waste, front-loading the resource. Minor deduction for the awkward 'Use this for the ... deadline time' construction where a clean verb phrase would read better.
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 output schema, the description does name the payload contents (deadline time and gameweek), which is the key information an agent needs to know what it will receive. For a nullary lookup this is close to complete; the omission of any format or timezone detail is minor.
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 zero parameters, so there is nothing for the description to clarify. Baseline 4 applies per the zero-parameter rule.
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 resource: the next FPL deadline time and gameweek. It is instantly distinguishable from all siblings, none of which concern deadlines. Phrasing is slightly garbled ('Use this for the next ... deadline time'), but the purpose is unambiguous.
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?
There is no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance, but for a zero-argument lookup with no competing sibling the implied usage is obvious. Adequate rather than instructive.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
