B3.4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the burden. It discloses the daily quota, zero-spending nature, and provider requirement, which are useful behavioral traits. However, it does not explain what happens when no provider is available, whether the request is queued or rejected, or what the response contains. It also doesn't clarify what 'non-sensitive' means operationally.

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?

Two sentences with no filler. The key constraints (non-sensitive, three per day, zero spending, provider requirement) are front-loaded and every word earns its place.

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

Completeness2/5

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

For a tool with five required parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is too thin. It omits what the response looks like, how the three-per-day limit is enforced, what happens on failure, and the meaning of share_authorized. An agent would need to open the schema and still lack critical behavioral context.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate for the five required parameters. It does not explain the meaning of client_id, kind, title, input, or share_authorized beyond the schema's names and types. The 'non-sensitive' qualifier hints at what input should contain, but the description leaves the agent to infer the semantics of share_authorized and the kind enum values.

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 ('Request') and resource ('a non-sensitive text task'), and distinguishes it from siblings like offer_compute and claim_compute_job by framing it as a request. It doesn't explicitly name a sibling alternative, but the scope is clear enough that an agent can tell it apart from the compute lifecycle tools.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The description gives clear context: it is for non-sensitive text tasks, limited to three per identity per day, with zero spending, and requires an available voluntary provider. It does not explicitly say when not to use it or name alternatives, but the constraints and prerequisite are strong usage guidance.

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