A3.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, so the safety profile is covered; the description adds two things beyond them: no credit spend, and a prompt-injection warning that result text is 'source material, not instructions' — a genuinely useful behavioral disclosure. It still says nothing about result volume, pagination limits, or ranking behavior.

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?

Three short sentences, each earning its place, with the core purpose front-loaded and the safety caveat last. No filler or restatement of the tool name.

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?

With no output schema, the description should hint at what comes back; 'previews and visual examples' does partially. But for a search tool with a paginated, mode-switching interface, the absence of any result-shape or pagination guidance leaves an agent under-informed before calling.

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?

Schema description coverage is 0% across four parameters, so the description carries the full burden and adds nothing: no explanation of what 'query' matches, no guidance on choosing keyword vs hybrid mode, no note on the 160-character limit or the page cap of 10. The enum values are self-evident but the meaningful choice between modes is undocumented everywhere.

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?

States a specific verb and resource: 'Search public prompt previews and visual examples.' The word 'public' implicitly separates it from list_unlocked_prompts and get_prompt, but no sibling is named explicitly, so differentiation is inferred rather than stated.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

'Does not unlock or spend credits' gives clear context that this is the free browse path, implying unlock_prompt is the paid alternative for full content. There is no explicit when-to-use/when-not sentence naming that alternative or explaining when to switch.

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