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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds little behavioral context beyond that — no scoping limits, pagination, or sourcing detail beyond the adjective 'well-sourced'.

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?

Two tight sentences, front-loaded with the purpose and immediately followed by usable query examples; the result-content note at the end is a single clause. Slightly more example padding than strictly needed, but no wasted sentences.

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 usefully compensates by saying each result carries status and product lifecycle. Annotations handle safety. Remaining gaps are minor: no hint about result ordering, limit behavior, or empty-result handling for a 2-param 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 description coverage is 100% and both parameters are documented there (query as 'Keyword or phrase', limit default/max 20). The description's keyword examples loosely illustrate the query parameter but add no syntax or formatting meaning. Baseline 3 applies.

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 clear verb+resource (find pre-release reports) plus scope (across every covered product) and concrete keyword examples. It does not differentiate itself from the sibling get_reports or whats_coming, so an agent must guess which report-retrieval tool applies.

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?

The phrase 'by keyword' and the example keywords imply when this tool is appropriate, but there is no explicit when-to-use, when-not-to-use, or named alternative despite several overlapping siblings (get_reports, whats_coming, get_release_calendar).

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