A4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, and the description adds important behavior beyond them: it returns a market summary plus up to 100 listings, and it costs $0.05 per call paid in USDC on Base via x402. It does not describe rate limits or failure behavior, but the paid-call disclosure is substantial context.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is compact and front-loaded: the resource and output scope come first, followed by the cost and payment mechanism. Every sentence carries useful information, with no filler.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a paid, open-world search tool with no output schema, the description gives a clear picture of the returned data and the cost model. It is nearly complete, though it could say more about pagination limits, latency, or what happens when no listings match.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so all seven parameters are already documented in the input schema. The description adds output-oriented context such as up to 100 listings and which listing fields are returned, but it does not add meaning beyond the schema for parameters like shipsTo, priceMin, priceMax, or condition.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a specific verb and resource: live Reverb music-gear marketplace listings for a keyword. It identifies Reverb explicitly, which distinguishes it from sibling marketplace searches such as poshmark_search, vinted_search, and ebay_market.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description makes clear this is the Reverb-specific marketplace search, but it does not explicitly say when to use it instead of compare_resale or the other marketplace tools. Usage is implied by the marketplace name rather than stated as routing guidance.

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