Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive and openWorld, so the safety profile is covered by structured data. The description adds only the qualifier that the profile is the one 'visible to the web app', which hints at scoping/visibility but does not explain what that means in practice.
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?
One short sentence that is front-loaded with the action and resource. The trailing clause 'visible to the web app' is slightly vague but not padding that obscures the core statement.
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 inputs, an output schema present, and annotations covering safety and openness, the description does not need to explain return values. What remains missing is a note on whose profile is returned when multiple integrations exist, but for a zero-arg identity read the definition is sufficient to invoke correctly.
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, which is the baseline-4 case. Nothing extra is needed, and the description does not waste words inventing parameter guidance.
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?
A concrete verb ('Reads') plus specific resource ('authenticated HGR user profile') makes the purpose immediately clear. It does not, however, distinguish this from related siblings such as hgr_get_user_gettokenbalance or hgr_get_user_gettokenhistory, which also operate on the current user.
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 statement of when to call this versus the other user/account GET tools in a 150+ tool sibling list. The agent is left to infer that this is the identity/profile lookup, with no exclusions or alternatives named.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
