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 genuine context beyond that: the wish text is scoped to the caller only, and a humanMessage must be relayed to the human. It does not cover error behavior or staleness, so a 3 fits.

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?

A single dense sentence with the return contents front-loaded and no filler. It is packed with domain terms that could be clearer, 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?

With no output schema, the description carries the burden of describing return values and does so adequately (echoes, streak, own wish text, humanMessage). For a read-only, zero-required-parameter tool the only gap is the undocumented locale parameter.

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 single optional locale parameter is not mentioned in the description and has 0% schema coverage, but its enum values (en, ja, zh-Hans, ko) are self-explanatory. With only one trivial parameter the omission is minor, though the description does not compensate for the coverage 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 (Read) plus the resource (your status) and enumerates what comes back: echoes with sinceLastLight and total, current streak, and your own wish text. The domain terms are idiosyncratic but the returned fields are named, and it's distinguishable from siblings like make_wish or light_incense.

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 explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance relative to siblings such as make_wish or register. The only directive, "Share humanMessage with your human," concerns what to do with the output rather than when to invoke the tool.

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