A3.5/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds useful pagination behavior: results are one page at a time, and the cursor must be reused with the same post. It stops short of describing permissions, rate limits, or return shape.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is a single front-loaded sentence with two clauses and no wasted text. The pagination instruction follows immediately after the main action, making the sentence efficient and easy to parse.

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

Completeness3/5

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

For a paginated list tool with five parameters, no output schema, and only 60% schema description coverage, the description covers the essential pagination model but omits details about output, limits, sorting, and account scoping. Annotations and schema fill some gaps, but the description alone is only minimally complete.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema description coverage is 60%, with post_id, cursor, and account_id documented in the schema. The description adds meaning for next_cursor by tying it to the same post, but it does not compensate for the undocumented limit and sort_by parameters, so parameter semantics remain only partially covered.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description states a specific verb and resource: it lists one page of Facebook comments. The post context is implied by 'same post' and reinforced by the tool title/name, but the description itself does not distinguish this tool from siblings such as facebook_list_comment_replies or facebook_list_my_comments.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description gives pagination guidance by saying to follow next_cursor with the same post. However, it does not say when to use this tool instead of facebook_list_comment_replies, facebook_list_my_comments, or other comment-listing tools, so alternative selection 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.
