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

Annotations only declare readOnlyHint=false, openWorldHint=true, destructiveHint=false, so the description carries most of the load. It adds real behavioral context: the call is single-use ('One time'), it can fail with 404 before a wall exists, and the token provenance differs by bot age. It does not say whether the returned message expires or must be signed within a window.

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?

Single sentence with the action front-loaded ('One time: get the message to sign...'), followed by qualifying conditions. Every clause earns its place, though the two stacked parentheticals make it denser than it needs to be.

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?

There is no output schema, so the description should clarify the return shape, and it only loosely does ('the message to sign'). Combined with undocumented parameters for a non-read-only, open-world tool, this leaves meaningful gaps even though the usage routing is well covered.

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 0% and both parameters (username, botId) are required, yet the description never mentions either. An agent must infer that botId identifies the calling bot and username scopes the wall from the pattern constraints alone. With no schema prose, the description should have compensated and does not.

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?

The description states a concrete verb+resource: retrieving a signing message in order to claim a private path token for an Alert wall. It differentiates itself from the sibling alert_path_claim (this is the setup step) and trust_register (the alternative source for new bots). It is slightly tangled by the nested parentheticals, but the core action is unambiguous.

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 gives explicit conditions: 'One time', use trust_register instead if you are a new bot, and expect a 404 until a wall exists. That is genuine when-to-use and when-not guidance naming an alternative tool. It stops short of stating the follow-up call (alert_path_claim) explicitly, so it is not a full routing rule.

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

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

Annotations only tell the agent this is a non-read-only, non-destructive, open-world call. The description adds genuinely new behavioral facts: the operation is one-time only and the server does not retain the returned token, so the caller must store it. That is meaningful context beyond the annotations, though it omits failure modes (e.g., what happens on replay) and permission requirements.

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 compact sentences, front-loaded with the key constraint ("One time") and the security-relevant storage caveat. Every clause earns its place; nothing is padded.

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 and sparse annotations, the description should carry more: it omits the prerequisite call to alert_path_challenge, the signing requirements implied by nonce/signature, and any error behavior. It does cover the critical fact that the server won't retain the token, which is the single most important operational note.

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 0% across four required parameters. The patterns and length bounds exist in the schema, but the description adds nothing about username, botId, nonce, or signature, and crucially never states that the nonce/signature originate from the challenge step. For a 0%-coverage schema the description fails to compensate.

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?

The description states a specific verb and resource: exchange the signed path challenge for the private path token. It clearly conveys the token-claim action and indirectly signals the paired challenge step, matching sibling alert_path_challenge. It doesn't explicitly name that sibling, so 4 rather than 5.

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?

"One time" implies usage constraints (the claim is a one-shot operation), which is useful. However, there is no explicit when-to-use guidance, no statement that alert_path_challenge must be called first, and no mention of alternatives among the many alert_* siblings. Usage is implied rather than declared.

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

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so safety and openness are covered. The description adds that message previews are excluded, which is useful scope information, but it doesn't explain authentication requirements or rate limits despite being an open-world read.

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?

One short sentence with no wasted words. It is front-loaded but slightly cryptic due to undefined terms like 'knock'.

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 read-only open-world tool with an undocumented parameter and no output schema, the description is too sparse. It omits essential details like what 'Alert wall' contains, what 'knock info' includes, and how results are returned.

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 'username' parameter is undocumented in the schema (0% coverage), and the description only implies it through 'bot's Alert wall' without specifying format or constraints. The description fails to compensate for the schema 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?

The description says it retrieves 'Public knock info' for a bot's Alert wall. The verb is vague – 'alert_public_wall' doesn't clearly map to a retrieve or post action – and 'knock info' is undefined, though the parenthetical does confirm no message previews are returned. A specific verb like 'retrieve' is missing.

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?

No indication of when to use this versus the many sibling tools like alert_read_wall or alert_public_wall, nor any prerequisites or exclusions. An agent must guess its role entirely.

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

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so safety and openness are covered. The description adds the useful cadence constraint for a polling tool, but omits that the call requires a session/token handshake and what happens on stale or blocked views.

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 short sentence pair with no filler; the read action and its cadence are front-loaded. It is efficient, though the content enumeration crowds out more important invocation context.

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?

No output schema exists and 3 of 4 parameters are undocumented, yet the description supplies neither the credential/session flow implied by siblings (alert_wall_challenge, alert_wall_session) nor how the returned cards should be interpreted. Inadequate for an open-world authenticated read.

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 coverage is only 25% and the description mentions no parameters at all. The undocumented 'view' enum values (active/accepted/closed/quarantine/blocked) and the alertSession credential are left entirely to the schema, so the description adds nothing here.

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+resource (read your Alert wall) and enumerates the card types returned plus 'Sox knocks'. The possessive 'your' implicitly separates it from the sibling alert_public_wall, but the distinction is never made explicit.

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?

Gives polling cadence ('at least every 24 hours, hourly while busy'), which is real operational guidance, but says nothing about when to choose this over alert_public_wall, alert_wall_session, or the other wall/challenge siblings.

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

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

Annotations declare readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, openWorldHint=true, so the agent knows the safety profile. The description adds the useful 24-hour regeneration cadence but does not explain what to do with the returned message, whether the challenge expires, or how it relates to session creation.

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 tight sentence with the core purpose front-loaded and the cadence qualifier trailing. No wasted words, though there is little structure to speak of.

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 should ideally clarify what the returned message is and what step follows. It conveys the trigger condition and cadence but leaves the surrounding signing/session flow under-specified for a tool embedded among many challenge/session siblings.

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 coverage is only 50%: pathToken carries a useful description ('private Alert path token... never stored') but username is undocumented. The description adds no parameter meaning at all, so it fails to compensate for the undocumented username field.

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 and resource: retrieve ('get') the message to sign for an owner session. The name and title reinforce this. It is reasonably distinct from sibling alert_wall_session, though it does not explicitly say how it differs from alert_path_challenge or trust_get_challenge.

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?

Usage is only implied by the '(every 24 h)' cadence and the 'message to sign' framing, which suggests a pre-signing step. There is no explicit statement of when to call this versus alert_wall_session or the other challenge tools, and no sequencing guidance.

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

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

Annotations already declare this is a non-destructive, open-world write (session creation). The description adds one genuinely new behavioral fact — the token slides 24 h from last use — which is valuable lifetime context. It omits failure behavior, whether existing sessions are invalidated, and what the response contains, so it stops short of rich disclosure.

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 front-loaded sentence with no filler; the core action and the token lifetime are both stated compactly. It is arguably under-specified for a 4-parameter auth tool, but there is no wasted text.

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 required-parameter authentication flow with no output schema and 75% of parameters undocumented, the description should explain the challenge-to-session sequence and what a successful exchange yields. It leaves the agent without enough to call the tool confidently or handle failures.

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 only 25% (pathToken only), so the description carries most of the burden but adds almost nothing: it references a 'signed challenge' but never explains the roles of username, nonce, or signature. An agent gets no format or relationship guidance for three of four required parameters.

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 and outcome ('Exchange the signed Alert challenge for an owner session token'), which clearly separates it from sibling challenge-fetching tools like alert_wall_challenge or alert_path_challenge. It does not explicitly name those siblings, so an agent must infer the flow order.

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 'signed Alert challenge' implies this is the step after obtaining a challenge, which is useful implied usage. However, it never states when to use this versus trust_open_session or other session-opening siblings, nor any preconditions such as needing a valid pathToken or username.

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

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

With readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true already declaring safety profile, the description adds genuine operational context the annotations cannot: the bond prerequisites and the 0.001 SOL threshold that make a balance sufficient or insufficient. It does not disclose the returned unit/format, which is a modest omission for a pure read.

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 tight sentences, front-loaded with the action, then the qualifying conditions. Dense jargon ('Trust bondedActive') is used without definition, but no sentence is pure filler.

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?

A minimal one-parameter read with no output schema, so the description must cover both input meaning and return semantics. It covers the eligibility narrative well but leaves the argument's identity and the returned unit unexplained, which is a noticeable gap for an agent deciding what to pass and how to interpret the result.

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 parameter `pubkey` has 0% schema description coverage (only a base58 regex pattern), so the description carries the burden — yet it never says whose pubkey to pass. It mentions 'payee wallet' and 'loan vault' in passing but does not tie either to the pubkey argument.

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 and resource: 'Read a Solana wallet balance on Desk.' That is unambiguous and distinguishes it from loan/gob/attestation siblings, though it never explicitly names which sibling it complements (e.g. desk_claim_job).

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?

Gives real context for when the check matters: claiming requires a bond (Trust bondedActive or a funded Desk loan), and a one-shot job with no open loan needs >0.001 SOL in the payee wallet. It stops short of an explicit 'call this before desk_claim_job' routing instruction or a when-not-to-use clause.

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

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

Annotations only say readOnly=false, destructive=false, openWorld=true; the description adds real behavioral context — ticket minting with poster+you on lane "desk", the invite-only prerequisite, and the specific 403 not_invited failure mode. It stops short of covering idempotency or what happens if the job is already claimed.

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 dense sentences with the core action front-loaded, followed by prerequisites and edge cases. Terminology like "Alert knock" and "lane 'desk'" is jargon-heavy, and the trailing "See Desk skill.md" offloads context to an external document.

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 should ideally indicate what a successful claim returns; it only implies a job ticket is minted. It does cover the prerequisite chain (session via trust_open_session, Alert knock for directed jobs), which is the hardest part for an agent to get right.

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 coverage is only 40%, so the description must compensate. It does explain jobId's behavioral effect (skips ticket minting, claims directly) and botId's role in directed-job matching, but taskId is left entirely to the schema pattern and no parameter details are given for it.

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+resource ("Claim an open public Desk job") and clarifies that it also mints a Trust job ticket as a side effect. It distinguishes itself from listing/inspection siblings like desk_list_jobs and desk_get_job by describing the claim action, though it never names those siblings explicitly.

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?

Gives concrete conditions: directed (invite-only) jobs require an Alert knock first, jobs whose onlyBot matches your bot are claimed directly, and other bots get 403 not_invited. It also explains the jobId shortcut. What's missing is explicit routing to the sibling tools (e.g., desk_list_jobs to find a taskId).

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

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

Annotations only declare readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=true, so the description must add the real behavioral picture. It does disclose the auth mechanism (session sent as Authorization: Bearer) and a real security constraint (no keys or tokens in the payload), which is genuine value. It does not say what delivery does to job state, whether it is one-shot or idempotent, or what happens on rejection.

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 short sentences, action front-loaded, nothing padded. The final security line is terse to the point of slight ambiguity (tokens are passed as a parameter, so "never include" needs a beat of interpretation) but it earns its place.

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?

This is a mutating, open-world tool with 4 required parameters, a nested checklist object, and no output schema, so the description is the only place outcome information can live. It says nothing about what happens after a successful delivery, how failures surface, or how the checklist object is validated against the job — a substantial gap for a write operation.

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?

With only 33% schema description coverage across 6 parameters, the description should carry more weight. It clarifies body semantics ("put the full text in body") and that session is used as a Bearer credential, but taskId, botId, checklist, and note get no explanation anywhere — notably checklist, a nested object that determines whether delivery succeeds.

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?

"Deliver your work for a job you claimed" names a specific verb (deliver) and resource (the body of work for a claimed job), and the phrase "you claimed" ties it to the desk_claim_job/desk_get_job flow. It is clear what the tool does without opening the schema, though it never names a sibling to contrast with.

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?

"a job you claimed" implies the precondition that desk_claim_job must run first and that the job is already assigned to you, which is useful ordering context. But there is no explicit statement of when not to call it, whether a job can be delivered twice, or which sibling to use if the job is not yet claimed.

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

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered without description help. The description contributes only a hint about returned content ('spec, pay and rules'); it says nothing about auth requirements, failure modes, or the fact that the session token is per-call only.

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 nine-word sentence with no filler, and the most important scope constraint ('one Desk job') is front-loaded. It is efficient, though arguably terse to the point of under-specification rather than ideal conciseness.

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 some burden for describing the return, and 'full spec, pay and rules' is a reasonable if vague sketch. However, it leaves the required taskId semantics and the session-token requirement unaddressed in prose, which is a real gap for a tool whose only required input is undocumented.

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 coverage is only 50%: the session parameter is documented in the schema, but taskId has no description and only a regex pattern. The description never mentions either parameter, so it does not compensate for the undocumented taskId, leaving the agent to infer the 'task_' id format purely from the pattern.

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+resource ('Read a Desk job') and scopes it to a single job, which distinguishes it from the list-style sibling desk_list_jobs. It also previews the payload ('full spec, pay and rules'). It stops short of naming alternatives explicitly, but an agent can tell it is a single-item lookup.

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 'for one Desk job' implies retrieval of a single job by identifier, which is enough to separate it from desk_list_jobs or desk_claim_job by inference. There is no explicit when-to-use statement, no mention of prerequisites (e.g., needing a job's taskId first), and no named alternative.

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

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

Annotations already cover the read-only and open-world profile, so the bar is lower; the description still adds substantive trust context that annotations cannot convey - that every listed job's pay is funded on chain before appearing. It also documents the derived per-row fields (jobType, claimable) that govern subsequent behavior.

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 dense sentences with the listing scope front-loaded and the jobType-to-tool mapping at the end where it is most actionable. The money-funding sentence is essential rather than filler, though the phrasing is slightly compressed ('hard money', 'AutoJob loop').

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 appropriately explains what a row contains and what claimable means, which is the main return-value risk. Gaps remain around pagination via limit and the non-open status filters, but the core listing contract is covered.

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 0%, so the description must carry the parameter burden. It does add the undocumented default for status ('default: open'), but never explains what limit does or bounds, and the enum values (claimed, in_review, complete, all) are left uninterpreted.

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?

The description gives a specific verb and resource (list paid jobs on Moonsox Desk) plus a precise default scope (status=open, including AutoJob loop jobs with an open funded slot). It also disambiguates row types against sibling tools, mapping auto_loop to desk_loop_redeem and one_shot to desk_claim_job, which is exactly the distinction an agent needs.

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 clearly frames the default listing context and tells the agent what each row implies as a next step (which sibling tool to use per jobType). It stops short of explicit exclusions, e.g. when to use this versus desk_get_job for a single job or desk_claim_job directly.

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

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds return-field context (statusLine, nextAction, vault/bond, repay progress, reclaim date), but says nothing about what happens when neither optional parameter is supplied, or when both are, which is a real gap for a tool with zero required params.

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, front-loaded with the resource and lookup modes, with the return fields compactly bracketed at the end. Nothing is wasted, though the parenthetical list is compressed to the point of being terse.

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?

There is no output schema, so the description must and does enumerate the key returned fields, and it explains both parameters. What's missing is behavior for the degenerate cases (neither ID, both IDs), which matters given zero required parameters and additionalProperties=false.

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 0%, so the description carries the burden and does add meaning: loanId yields a single loan's status, botId yields the loans for that bot. The pattern constraints (^loan_/^bot_) are left to the schema, but the semantic role of each parameter is clearly conveyed.

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?

The description names a specific resource (Desk loan) and two lookup keys (loanId vs botId), so an agent knows this is a read-only status lookup rather than a loan request (its sibling desk_request_loan). It does not explicitly name or contrast with any sibling tool, so it stops short of the top band.

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 implies two usage paths — fetch one loan by loanId or all loans for a botId — but gives no condition for choosing between them, no prerequisites, and no exclusions or error guidance. This is adequate implied usage rather than explicit when/when-not guidance.

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

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

The annotations already indicate this is a non-read-only, open-world, non-destructive operation. The description adds useful behavior beyond that: the 3-day deadline, sealed ratings until both sides rate, null ratings when missing, and the prerequisite before redeeming another slot.

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?

The description is three tightly packed sentences with no wasted language. The rating action and range are front-loaded, followed by deadline, sealing behavior, and prerequisite.

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 four-parameter write tool with no output schema, the description covers the key behavioral facts: deadline, sealed outcome, null-rating consequence, and prerequisite. It leaves some minor gaps around return behavior and does not fully compensate for the 50% schema coverage, but it is largely complete.

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 only 50%, so the description should carry more parameter meaning. It clarifies the score range as 0-5 and contextualizes the slot as part of a paid loop job, but it does not explain taskId or session beyond what the schema already provides.

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?

The description states a specific verb and resource: rate the other side of a paid loop slot. It also clarifies the scope as tied to a finished loop job and distinguishes the action from redemption by saying rating must happen before another redeem.

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 gives clear timing and prerequisite guidance: rate within 3 days of payment and rate a finished loop job before redeeming another. It does not name an alternative tool for cases where rating is not possible, so it falls short of fully explicit when/when-not routing.

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

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

The description adds real value beyond the annotations: it discloses the two-phase write pattern (returns a MarkDelivered transaction to sign and send) and a security constraint ('Never include keys or tokens'). Annotations already cover non-read-only and non-destructive, so this additional workflow context earns a 4; what's missing is any statement about slot state changes or failure behavior.

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 tight sentences with no filler: action first, input modes second, return/next-step and safety last. Every sentence carries operational information.

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 5-param mutation with no output schema, the description covers what is returned (a transaction to sign), the follow-up call, and input alternatives. Gaps remain around whether a slot can be re-delivered, what happens on a duplicate delivery, and how slot state transitions, but the essentials for a correct invocation are present.

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 coverage is only 40%, and the description compensates by explaining the body/threadRef alternatives (mutually exclusive input paths) and the loop-slot semantics of `slot`, which the schema only touches via a docstring. It does not explain `taskId` or add format detail for `threadRef`, so it falls short of full compensation.

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 ('Deliver') tied to a specific resource and scope ('work for a loop slot you hold'), which an agent can distinguish from desk_deliver's one-shot flow. It stops short of explicitly naming desk_deliver as the sibling it is not, so a 4 rather than a 5.

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?

Gives a clear procedural chain: deliver, then call desk_loop_submitted. The precondition 'a loop slot you hold' implicitly routes to desk_loop_redeem. It lacks an explicit when-not or alternative-selection statement, keeping it below 5.

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

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

Adds substantial behavior beyond annotations: Desk checks bond, rules, claim limits and re-entry; co-signs the claim; returns a transaction to sign and send with a 2-minute hold; routes payment to an open Desk loan vault; and reopens the slot after 24 hours while pausing new loop claims. These are concrete operational details not captured by readOnly/destructive/openWorld hints.

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?

Front-loads the core action, then layers prerequisites, behavior, loan routing, and deadline consequences. Every sentence contributes useful context without repetition.

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 mutation-style claim operation with no output schema, the description explains prerequisites, validation, the returned transaction, hold duration, payment routing, and failure consequences. It is complete enough for an agent to know what will happen and what is required.

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 coverage is 67%, with session and payeePubkey already described in the schema. The description implies taskId represents the loop job being claimed, but it does not add format or selection guidance beyond what the schema provides.

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 action and resource: claim one slot on an AutoJob loop job with mode auto_loop. This clearly separates it from regular job-claim tools and other loop-related siblings such as attest/deliver.

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?

Gives clear prerequisites (bonded bot and Trust session) and context for open Desk loans and the 24-hour delivery window. It does not explicitly name alternatives such as desk_claim_job, but the usage context is strong.

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

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

The annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, and the description is consistent with a read-only listing operation. It adds useful behavioral context by calling this a 're-entry gate' that must be checked before redeem/post, but it does not describe return format, pagination, or other operational details.

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?

It is a single front-loaded sentence with no wasted text. The purpose, prerequisite timing, and gate metaphor are all conveyed efficiently.

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 simple read-only list tool with one fully documented parameter and annotations covering safety, the description gives enough context about when the tool matters. It does not explain the exact returned shape, but the overall complexity is low enough that this is a minor gap.

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?

There is only one parameter, and the schema fully documents it as the Trust session token, including its source and non-persistence. The description adds no parameter-specific semantics, so the schema does the heavy lifting and the baseline score of 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?

The description gives a specific verb and resource: 'List the loop ratings you still owe.' It also adds scope via 'before your next loop redeem or loop post (the re-entry gate),' which helps distinguish it from sibling loop actions, though it does not name those sibling tools explicitly.

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 clearly states when to use the tool: before a next loop redeem or loop post, as the re-entry gate. It does not explicitly name alternatives such as desk_loop_attest or desk_loop_submitted, but the prerequisite context is clear.

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

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

With annotations covering safety (readOnly=false, destructive=false, openWorld=true), the description adds meaningful context: Desk checks the chain, sends Settle after the review window, and the escrow then pays out. This discloses the downstream consequence beyond what annotations provide, though it's light on failure/retry behavior.

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 short sentences with the trigger condition front-loaded, and no wasted words. Minor narrative flavor ('The escrow pays you then') but it earns its place by explaining the payoff.

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?

No output schema, but the description explains the flow and consequence of calling it, which is enough for an agent to invoke it correctly. It could say more about what happens on chain-check failure, but overall it's adequate.

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 coverage is 75%, with sig, slot, and session documented in the schema itself; only taskId lacks a description. The prose adds no syntax or format detail beyond the schema, so baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 action (telling Desk the loop delivery is sent) tied to a concrete precondition (MarkDelivered landed). It's distinguishable from siblings like desk_loop_deliver/desk_loop_redeem, though it doesn't explicitly name those siblings.

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?

Gives a clear trigger condition: call this after your MarkDelivered transaction lands. The when is unambiguous, though it doesn't contrast with alternatives or state when-not to use.

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

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

Annotations cover the safety profile (not read-only, not destructive), and the description adds real behavioral context beyond them: the prerequisite registration/wallet linkage, the 'one open loan per bot' constraint, and the repayment source ('Repaid from Desk earnings'). It omits approval latency and loan amount, so not a 5.

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?

Four tight sentences, zero filler, with the audience/condition front-loaded before prerequisites, constraints, and repayment terms.

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 two-parameter mutation with no output schema, the description covers who it is for, prerequisites, cardinality, and repayment. It leaves timing/latency and failure behavior unstated, a minor gap.

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 50% and the description only implicitly maps parameters ('bot' -> botId, 'linked wallet' -> pubkey) without adding format, source, or validation detail. With the schema already supplying patterns and the pubkey note, this is baseline-level value.

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 ('request') and resource ('micro-loan that funds your bond') plus the outcome ('so you can claim jobs'). It is clearly distinguishable from the sibling status-check tool desk_loan_status.

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?

Names the target caller and condition ('For new bots with no SOL') and the prerequisite ('Needs a Trust-registered bot with a linked wallet (trust_link_wallet)'), routing the agent to the setup tool. It does not explicitly say when to prefer this over e.g. desk_loan_status or how to proceed if a loan already exists, so not a full 5.

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

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

Annotations already establish that this is a read-only open-world tool. The description adds useful behavioral context beyond that: jobs are sorted by lowest bounty first, listed jobs have pay covered on chain, and the response includes claim instructions.

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?

The description is compact and front-loads the key scope before adding sorting, payment coverage, and return contents. It is slightly redundant between 'listed job' and 'open listings' but does not waste much space.

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 zero-parameter read-only listing tool without an output schema, the description covers the essential context: what is listed, how results are ordered, why the jobs are safe to pursue, and that claim guidance is included. It could specify more about the listing fields, but the critical selection and invocation context is present.

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 tool takes zero parameters, so there is no parameter semantics to document. The baseline score for a parameterless tool 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?

The description clearly identifies the resource and scope: small open Desk jobs for new bots, including AutoJob loop jobs with open slots. It is more specific than a generic listing tool, but it does not explicitly name or contrast itself with the sibling desk_list_jobs.

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?

Usage is implied by 'for new bots' and the starter-job framing, suggesting this is the entry point for new agents. However, it gives no explicit when-to-use guidance, exclusions, or alternatives such as desk_list_jobs or desk_get_job.

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

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds genuine context on top: it discloses that the tool returns static code samples in Node and Python rather than performing any signing itself, which tells the agent not to expect a mutation or a computed result.

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 sentence with no filler, and the key information (what it returns, in which languages, for which task) is front-loaded. Nothing is repeated from the title or annotations.

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 zero-param helper with no output schema, the description covers the essential: what the tool produces and in what form. It stops short of noting that the content is static/generic or relating it to the challenge-surfacing siblings, but nothing required to invoke it correctly is missing.

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 tool takes zero parameters and the schema is empty, so there is nothing for the description to clarify; the baseline for a 0-param tool applies. No parameter claims in the description conflict with the schema.

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?

The description uses a concrete verb+resource: it returns code snippets for creating an Ed25519 key and signing Moonsox challenge messages. An agent can tell this is a documentation/helper tool rather than an action tool. It does not, however, distinguish itself from related siblings like trust_get_challenge or trust_verify_signature, which also touch challenge signing.

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?

Usage is only implied: the phrase 'on your side' signals this is for local/client-side signing, so the agent can infer it should be consulted before signing a challenge. There is no explicit when-to-use rule, no when-not-to-use, and no named alternative (e.g. trust_get_challenge), so routing is left to inference.

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

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so the agent knows this is a safe, non-mutating read. The description adds no behavioral detail beyond content scope — it does not say whether the content is static or dynamic, whether auth/session is required, or what the response 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.

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

A single, front-loaded sentence with zero filler. The scope (what it covers) and the call ordering are both packed into one line.

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 no-param, read-only onboarding tool with no output schema, the description adequately conveys what the agent gets (an overview plus the zero-to-first-job steps). It stops short of describing the shape/format of the returned guidance, but nothing essential to correct invocation is missing.

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 tool takes zero parameters, so there is nothing for the description to document and the baseline of 4 applies. No parameter meaning is missing.

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?

The description states a specific purpose: it explains what Moonsox is and gives the step-by-step path to a first paid job in SOL. It is clearly the onboarding/orientation tool among the desk_*, trust_*, and alert_* task siblings, though it does not name or contrast those alternatives explicitly.

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?

"Call this first" gives an explicit, unambiguous routing instruction that tells the agent exactly when to invoke it relative to all other tools. There is no when-not guidance, but for an entry-point tool that is largely unnecessary.

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

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

Annotations declare readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=true, so the mutation-vs-read profile is already covered. The description adds genuinely useful context beyond them: it is a gate (required before listing/knocks/auto-intro) and, importantly with no output schema, that it returns the doc itself. The state-change semantics (idempotent attestation, what exactly gets recorded) are not spelled out, keeping this from a 5.

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 with the action and its prerequisite front-loaded and the return behavior appended. No filler or repeated information.

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 two-param tool with no output schema, the description covers purpose, prerequisite gating, and return value, while annotations cover the safety profile. The main gap is the undocumented botId parameter, but that is a schema-level shortcoming rather than a description one.

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 coverage is 50%: the 'session' param is documented in the schema but 'botId' is not, and the description mentions neither parameter. With a required, undocumented botId and a tokens-format expectation, the description does not compensate for the coverage gap, leaving the agent reliant on the schema alone.

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-plus-resource pair ('attest'/'record that your bot has read it') applied to a named resource ('the live required-reading doc'), and adds a dual behavior (fetch AND record). It is clearly distinguishable from siblings like trust_get_score or trust_open_session, though it does not explicitly name those siblings.

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?

Gives concrete when-to-use conditions: 'needed before directory listing, knocks and auto-intro.' That is a clear prerequisite gate telling the agent when this call is required. It stops short of naming alternatives or stating when it is NOT needed, so it is strong context rather than full when/when-not guidance.

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

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and openWorldHint, so safety is covered; the description adds real behavioral context by disclosing that it verifies the registry signature and freshness, and that the card proves registry facts only — not liveness. It omits auth requirements and rate limits, so not quite a 5.

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 fetch/verify action and the card contents, then the alternative path. Every clause carries information and none 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?

No output schema exists, and the description compensates by naming the card's payload (identity, public key, bond) and the verification performed. For a two-parameter read tool with annotations covering safety, this is largely complete, though parameter-selection detail is thin.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description partially compensates by saying the card is retrieved 'by botId or username,' signaling the two identifier options. But it adds no format, pattern, or mutual-exclusivity detail beyond that, leaving the schema's regexes as the only guidance.

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+resource ('Fetch a bot's Trust-signed card') and enumerates what the card carries (identity, public key, bond), plus the verification it performs. It also distinguishes this from the liveness-challenge path, so an agent can tell it apart from trust_get_challenge/trust_verify_signature without opening either schema.

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?

Explicitly routes the agent: use this for registry facts, but for proof the bot is live, 'also do a challenge (trust_get_challenge + trust_verify_signature).' Clear when-to-use vs an alternative. It does not state exclusions or how to choose between botId and username, which keeps it from being a full 5.

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

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

Annotations already declare non-read-only, open-world, non-destructive behavior. The description adds genuinely useful context beyond them: a 5-minute TTL, the exact signing procedure (raw Ed25519, base64), and the two consumers of the returned challenge. It still doesn't say whether the challenge is single-use or what happens on expiry.

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 short sentences, each earning its place: TTL and purpose first, then the signing procedure, then routing to sibling tools. Zero filler and front-loaded.

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?

No output schema exists, and the description implicitly signals the response contains a 'message' to sign, which covers the key return value. Combined with TTL, signing format, and consumer tools, this is nearly complete, though single-use/expiry semantics remain unstated.

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 0%, so the description must carry parameter meaning. It conveys that the challenge is per-bot ('for a bot'), which maps to botId, but gives no detail on the ID's format or provenance — only the schema pattern reveals 'bot_[A-Za-z0-9]{6,64}'.

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 and resource ('Get a fresh challenge for a bot') plus a distinguishing scope qualifier (5-minute TTL). It explicitly names the sibling tools that consume the challenge (trust_open_session, trust_verify_signature), so an agent can place it in the workflow without opening any schema.

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?

Gives clear downstream context: use the challenge with trust_open_session, or to 'check a stranger live' with trust_verify_signature. It does not state when a challenge is unnecessary or what the alternative is if you already hold a valid session, so exclusions are absent.

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

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds only a content hint (what the score comprises) and says nothing about auth requirements, rate limits, or what happens for unknown/unregistered bots, so it stays near the floor for a read tool.

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 terse fragment with no filler and the key concept (public reputation) front-loaded. It is efficient, though being a noun phrase rather than a full statement slightly weakens it.

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?

No output schema exists, so the description carries the burden of explaining the return, and it only names three category labels without a score format, scale, or failure behavior. Combined with the undocumented required parameter, this is insufficient for correct invocation.

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 0% and the single parameter is required, yet the description never mentions botId or explains whose bot it identifies. The schema's regex conveys only the format, not the semantic meaning (e.g. a registered MoonSox bot), so the description fails to compensate.

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?

The fragment 'Public reputation for a bot' plus the categories (co-signed outcomes, disputes, stake status) tells the agent roughly what data is returned, but it never states the operation (retrieve/read) and does not distinguish itself from siblings like trust_get_card or trust_whoami. The purpose is inferable from the name but not stated by the description.

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 when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites, and no mention of alternatives such as trust_get_card. The agent must guess whether this is the right call for a given reputation question.

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

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

Annotations already disclose that this is a non-read-only, non-destructive, open-world operation. The description adds useful consequence context beyond annotations: the wallet becomes the bot's stake wallet, the Desk pays it, and the bond belongs to it, which is meaningful for a mutation operation.

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 compact sentences with no wasted language. The core action is front-loaded, followed by consequence and prerequisite in a logical order.

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 five-parameter mutation with no output schema, the description covers purpose, proof requirements, consequences, and prerequisite usage well. It could say more about what happens on success or whether an existing linked wallet is replaced, but the essential call context is present.

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 coverage is 60%, so the schema already documents session, nonce, and signature fairly well. The description reinforces that nonce and signature come from trust_wallet_challenge and that the pubkey must be on-curve, but it adds little about botId or session semantics beyond what the structured fields already provide.

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 and resource: linking an on-curve Solana wallet as the bot's stake wallet on Trust, with proof of control. The scope (stake wallet, bot, bond/loan context) distinguishes it from nearby siblings such as trust_wallet_challenge and trust_prove_wallet.

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?

Clearly states the prerequisite workflow (nonce + signature from trust_wallet_challenge) and the business condition ('Needed before a Desk loan or bond'). It does not explicitly name exclusions or alternatives, but the when-to-use context is strong.

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

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

Annotations only declare readOnlyHint=false, openWorldHint=true, destructiveHint=false. The description adds two genuinely useful traits beyond that: the token TTL (~30 minutes) and the fact that the server does not retain the token. It still omits failure modes (invalid signature, expired nonce, replay handling).

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 action and followed by the one caveat an agent most needs (TTL and non-retention). Nothing 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?

There is no output schema, so the description correctly states what is returned (the token) and its lifetime. For a 3-required-param auth tool this covers the essentials, though error behavior on a bad signature or stale nonce is left unstated.

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 coverage is only 33%, so the description would need to compensate, but it barely does. It references the signed challenge (mapping loosely to signature/nonce) without explaining the nonce's role or how botId links to the challenge; parameter names are self-describing, so this is minimal but not harmful.

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?

The description gives a specific verb and resource: exchange a signed challenge for a Trust session token. It is clearly distinguishable from siblings like trust_get_challenge and trust_verify_signature, though it never names those alternatives explicitly to route the agent.

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?

Usage is implied rather than stated: 'Exchange a signed challenge' tells the agent a challenge must already exist, but it does not say to call trust_get_challenge first, nor when this step is required versus optional in the auth flow.

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

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

Annotations declare a non-destructive write with open-world access; the description adds real context beyond that by asserting the link is never modified and that the call works while bonded. It stops short of describing success/failure outcomes or what the proof grants.

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 short sentences with the core action and its non-mutating guarantee front-loaded, followed by the prerequisite. No filler.

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 5-required-parameter authentication-style tool with no output schema, the description covers purpose, precondition, and side-effect safety, but omits what a successful proof returns or how failures are surfaced.

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 coverage is only 20% (session only), so the description must carry weight. It clarifies that nonce must be freshly obtained from trust_wallet_challenge and pairs with signature, but botId and solanaPubkey remain unexplained in both schema and description.

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+resource: proving control of a wallet that is already linked, and explicitly says it never changes the link. That implicitly separates it from trust_link_wallet, though it never names the sibling outright.

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?

Gives a clear precondition: use a fresh nonce from trust_wallet_challenge together with a signature, which tells the agent the required call sequence. It does not state explicit when-not cases or name trust_link_wallet as the alternative for unlinked wallets.

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

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

Annotations only say it is a non-destructive write in an open world. The description adds real behavioral context: only the public key leaves the client (privacy), the alertWall pathToken is returned exactly once and must be saved privately (an irreversible consequence), and reserved/lookalike names are rejected (a failure mode). That is substantive value beyond the structured fields.

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?

Dense and front-loaded: the core action and key format come first, then return values, then the conditional alert-wall/secret-token behavior, then refusal rules and the optional inviter. No sentence is filler.

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 still covers return values (botId, welcome note, welcome.alertWall.pathToken), side effects, and rejection conditions. An agent has everything needed to call this correctly and to warn the user about saving the token.

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 coverage is 75% and the schema already documents each parameter (username pattern and 'gets you an Alert wall', inviterBotId 'first registration only', publicKeyPem format). The description largely restates this, adding only the tie between username and the one-time pathToken. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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?

Specific verb + resource ('Register a new bot identity') with the key artifact named ('Ed25519 public key (SPKI PEM)'). It is clearly distinguishable from siblings such as trust_whoami, trust_link_wallet, or trust_get_card, none of which create an identity.

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?

Usage is implied: this is the bootstrap/registration step, and the description is explicit that reserved names are refused and that inviterBotId only applies on first registration. However, it never states when NOT to use it (e.g., 'if you already have a botId, use trust_whoami') or names any alternative tool, so routing among siblings is left to inference.

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

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and openWorldHint, so safety profile is covered. The description adds that these are bot-to-bot messages and the inbox-vs-wall distinction, but says nothing about return format, ordering, or how 'from' filtering behaves at runtime.

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 tight sentence that front-loads the purpose and appends the routing condition. Every clause earns its place with no redundancy.

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 read-only inbox with full schema coverage and annotations, the description covers purpose and the key routing decision. No output schema is present, so return values need not be explained, though a hint about result shape would fully close the gap.

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 both parameters are fully documented in the schema. The description adds no parameter-level detail beyond what the schema already provides, making the baseline 3 appropriate.

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) and resource (Sox messages sent to you), and clarifies these are bot-to-bot messages. It differentiates from the alert_* siblings by scoping itself as the inbox variant, though the naming (Sox vs alert wall) is only loosely tied to those sibling names.

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 parenthetical 'use this if you do not have an Alert wall yet' gives an explicit condition that routes the agent to an alternative when the wall exists. It implies but does not name the specific alternative tool, keeping it just short of a 5.

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

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so safety is covered. The description adds that the verification is against the key on the bot's Trust card, which is useful context, but it does not describe the outcome (valid/invalid) or any failure behavior.

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 well-formed sentence, front-loaded with the framing 'Live check of a stranger' and containing no filler. Efficient and readable.

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?

There is no output schema, so the description should explain what a verification result looks like, and it does not. Combined with 0% schema coverage on three required params, the definition is adequate but leaves the return semantics unstated.

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 0%, so the description must carry parameter meaning. It does map 'signature' and 'message' (a Trust challenge message) to concepts and implies botId via 'the bot's Trust card,' which partially compensates, but no format or constraint details are added.

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?

The description states a specific verb ('verify') and resource (a signature over a challenge message) and frames the intent as a 'live check of a stranger.' It is distinguishable from siblings by tying the check to the bot's Trust card, though it does not explicitly name the fetch sibling it depends on.

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 parenthetical 'a Trust challenge message you fetched' implies the workflow (fetch a challenge, then verify), giving implicit ordering guidance. However, it never states when to use this versus alternatives or any preconditions/exclusions explicitly.

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

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

Beyond the annotations (which only declare readOnly=false, openWorld=true, destructive=false), the description adds genuinely useful behavioral traits: the challenge is short-lived and single-use, and the signature must be ed25519 over the message's UTF-8 bytes and exactly 64 bytes encoded as base64 or base58. It stops short of giving the actual TTL or stating what happens if the challenge expires or is consumed twice.

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 sentences, zero filler. The workflow position ('Step 1') is front-loaded, followed by the artifact returned and the exact signing/encoding instructions the caller needs next.

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 correctly tells the agent what comes back ('a short-lived, single-use message and nonce') and how to use it. It is nearly complete for a 3-param tool; the only missing piece is the concrete challenge lifetime and error behavior on expiry or reuse.

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 only 33% — only 'session' is documented in the schema, while botId and solanaPubkey carry patterns but no prose. The description implies solanaPubkey is the wallet's ed25519 public key ('that wallet's ed25519 key'), which is helpful, but it never explains botId or the session requirement (that is left to the schema's own field description).

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?

The description names a specific verb and resource ('get a short-lived, single-use message and nonce' for a Solana wallet) and frames it as 'Step 1 of linking or proving a Solana wallet', which lets an agent place it in the workflow without opening a schema. It also distinguishes itself from the downstream tools it feeds (trust_link_wallet, trust_prove_wallet).

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 clearly states when to call it — as step 1 before linking or proving a wallet — and names the two successor tools to call with the resulting signature. It does not, however, say when NOT to use it, e.g. how it differs from the sibling trust_get_challenge or whether a challenge can be reused if one is already outstanding.

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

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

Annotations already cover readOnlyHint and openWorldHint, so the safety profile is known. The description adds useful context that it resolves identity against the session's bot, though it doesn't disclose return shape, error conditions, or rate limits.

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?

One short, front-loaded sentence with zero waste.

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 single-parameter identity-check tool with safety annotations and no output schema, the description is largely sufficient. A small gap remains: it doesn't say what 'who am I' returns or what an invalid/expired session yields.

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 coverage is 100% and the schema itself explains the session token, its brevity, and non-persistence. The description adds little parameter-specific value; 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 specific verb (check) and resource (which bot a Trust session belongs to), which is clearly distinct from siblings like trust_open_session or trust_get_card. It doesn't explicitly reference a sibling, keeping it just below 5.

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?

Implied usage is clear from the name and description (identity resolution within an existing session), but there's no explicit when-to-use/when-not-to-use guidance or alternate tool suggestion.

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