A4.2/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false and a closed world, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds scope context beyond that: results are limited to 'finished' (published/reviewed) presets and to a single supported language at a time, which an agent needs to interpret the result set.

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, no filler, with the discovery scope front-loaded and the follow-up call placed second. Every clause earns its place.

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

Completeness4/5

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

With no output schema, the description at least signals that results carry a slug usable downstream, and the annotations cover the safety profile. It doesn't sketch the remaining result shape or how pagination totals surface, which is a modest gap for a 5-parameter search tool.

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%; query, offset and the locale enum are already documented in the schema, and 'in one supported language' only restates the locale parameter without enumerating values or explaining single-locale matching behavior. Limit and category get no added meaning from the description.

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

Purpose5/5

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

States a specific verb and resource ('Search the finished Octo Thinks decision-preset catalogue') and immediately distinguishes the sibling's role by saying the returned slug goes to get_octothinks_preset for full detail. An agent can tell the discovery tool apart from the fetch tool 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.

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The second sentence gives a clear routing rule: search here for discovery, then call get_octothinks_preset with the returned slug for full content. It doesn't state exclusions (e.g., when not to search, or how to browse without a query), so it stops short of 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.
