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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, and closed-world, so the safety profile is covered. The description usefully adds that only public documents are searched and that personal/confidential data must not be submitted, but says nothing about result count limits, empty-result behavior, or indexing scope.

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?

The English guidance is compact and front-loaded, but the identical content is then repeated in Arabic and Spanish, tripling the length without adding information an agent needs to select or invoke the tool. Locale is already an explicit schema parameter, so the redundancy is pure bloat.

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?

An output schema exists, so return-value explanation is unnecessary. Purpose, usage context, and the data-safety constraint are all present; only secondary details (result ordering, limit semantics) are missing, which is minor for a simple search tool.

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?

Schema coverage is only 33% (only locale is documented). The description says nothing about query syntax/length or the limit parameter's max-8 ceiling, though query is intuitively self-explanatory and the numeric bounds are visible in the schema. This sits at the minimum viable level rather than compensating for the gap.

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 verb and resource ('Find official HireHint HRIS, HR, recruiting/ATS, AI scope, language information and buyer guides'), which tells the agent exactly what content corpus is searched. It doesn't explicitly differentiate from the sibling get_public_doc (single-doc retrieval) or get_product_facts, so it stops short of 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?

'Use for questions about this product or a user-requested evaluation' gives a clear context for selection, and the privacy constraint ('do not send personal or confidential data') frames when not to use it. It never names the alternatives (get_public_doc, get_product_facts) or explains when a direct doc fetch beats a search.

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