C2.7/5.0

Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is fully covered elsewhere. The description adds only the word 'mapped' (implying only geocoded spots are returned) and says nothing about result ordering, radius behavior, or how the ranking surface works for a discovery tool.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

A single front-loaded sentence with no filler, and the resource is named before the scoping phrase. It is efficient, but its brevity here reflects under-specification rather than disciplined compression.

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

Completeness2/5

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

For an 11-parameter, zero-required, open-world discovery tool, the description omits how to combine location inputs, what defaults (limit 5, radiusKm 50) mean in practice, and any tie-break to the other search_* tools. The output schema covers return values, but the calling guidance an agent needs is missing.

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 36% across 11 params: lang, limit, intent, country, radiusKm, maxWindKmh and minWaterTempC are undocumented in the schema and untouched by the description. The description does not explain the city-vs-lat/lng choice, nor why an 'intent' enum containing surf/swimming/amenities applies to a river tool, leaving real ambiguity that the schema alone cannot resolve.

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 concrete verb ('Find') plus a specific resource ('mapped river and whitewater activity locations') and a scoping condition ('near a destination'). It is clearly distinguishable from search_surf_spots or search_dive_snorkel_spots by the resource named, though it never explicitly contrasts itself with the sibling family or with search_activity_providers, which also covers rafting guides.

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?

The only usage cue is 'near a destination', which weakly hints that a location input is needed. There is no guidance on when to prefer search_activity_providers (the sibling whose query examples include rafting guides) versus this spot search, and no statement of when not to use it.

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