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

No annotations exist, so the description carries the full load, and it does disclose the salient traits: this is an outbound communication to a third party (JIR Ventures), that party replies to the contact directly rather than through the tool, and only consented details may be sent. It stops short of describing retry/idempotency behavior, rate limits, or what the caller receives back.

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?

Three sentences, front-loaded with the action before the payload and the consent caveat last. Slight redundancy between 'arrange a viewing' and 'get in touch about it', but nothing is wasted.

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?

For a seven-parameter submission tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description covers purpose, recipient, and consent, but leaves a real ambiguity: it is unclear whether 'JIR Ventures replies to them directly' means the tool returns a confirmation to the agent or that contact happens entirely out of band. That, plus absent failure/retry behavior, is a meaningful gap for a fire-and-forget style call.

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%, so every one of the seven parameters is documented in the schema itself (including the 'empty if not given' convention for phone and preferred_time). The description only restates 'send the listing_id and the contact details', adding no format or constraint information beyond the schema, so the 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?

Uses a specific verb-plus-resource formulation: it asks JIR Ventures to arrange a viewing or open contact about a specific property, sent with a listing_id and contact details. That is clearly distinct in kind from the read-only siblings get_listing and search_listings, though those siblings are never named and the boundary is left implicit.

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?

It says explicitly when to use it: when someone wants a viewing arranged or wants to be put in touch. It does not state when not to use it or name alternatives, so an agent must infer that this is the escalation path after get_listing/search_listings rather than something the description tells it.

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