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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint and destructiveHint=false, so safety is covered. The description contributes the return behavior (design id when the file is present), but leaves the not-yet-uploaded case undefined — does it error, return empty, or return a status field?

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 sentence, front-loaded with the check and ending on the payoff. Slightly loose phrasing ('when it is there') keeps it from a 5, 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?

There is no output schema, so the description is the only place return semantics can live — and it covers only the success case ('design id when it is there'). The pending/not-uploaded outcome an agent will hit while polling 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?

Schema coverage is 100% with a single required parameter already documented ('Upload id (upl_...)'). The description adds nothing about the upload id format or how it relates to the link returned by get_upload_link. 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 check ('whether the user uploaded a file through the upload link') plus the useful outcome ('returns the design id'). It reads as a status/poll operation, which implicitly separates it from get_upload_link, though it never names that sibling.

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 'through the upload link' implies this is polled after get_upload_link, but the description never states when to call it, how often, or what to do if the upload hasn't happened yet. No alternatives or exclusions are mentioned.

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