A3.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is covered, and the description adds genuinely useful context beyond them: a Premium API key is required and must be supplied as an 'Authorization: Bearer mt_live_...' header at connection time. It stops short of describing error behavior, quota consumption, or what 'the result' looks like.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Two sentences, front-loaded with the action and outcome, followed by the auth requirement. Both sentences earn their place; no filler or repetition of the title.

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?

No output schema exists, so the description should carry the return contract; 'returns the result' is minimal but sufficient for a JSON-valued result. With read-only annotations, fully documented params, and an explicit auth prerequisite, the definition is close to complete, missing only error/quota behavior and the search-then-call workflow hint.

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 description coverage is 100%: slug and inputs are both documented in the schema, including the pointer that slug comes from search_calculators and that inputs maps every listed input name to a number. The description adds nothing beyond 'the given inputs', so the baseline 3 applies given the schema does the heavy lifting.

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

Purpose4/5

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

States a specific verb and resource ('Runs a MonsiTools calculator') plus the outcome ('returns the result'), so the agent can distinguish it from describe_calculator and search_calculators by action type. It does not explicitly name the siblings or route between them, but the purpose is unambiguous.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

The description gives no when-to-use guidance, no prerequisite chain (e.g., that the slug must first come from search_calculators), and no exclusions versus describe_calculator. Only an auth prerequisite is stated, which is not usage routing.

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