C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are supplied, so the description carries the full disclosure burden, and it says nothing about result limits, pagination, ranking, or cost. The word "verified" hints that the index is curated, but it does not explain what verification means or how results are ordered. For a search tool with zero annotation coverage, this leaves meaningful behavioral questions unanswered.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

A single sentence with no filler, and the corpus scope is front-loaded right after the verb. Nothing is wasted, though the brevity comes at the cost of the missing guidance noted elsewhere.

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?

The tool has no required parameters and no output schema, so the description should at minimum say what a call with no arguments returns and what shape results take (a list of tool records, presumably). Neither is addressed, leaving an agent unsure how to invoke it defensively or what to expect back.

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 100%, so both parameters (query, category) are already documented in the schema, and the baseline of 3 applies. The description adds only that the searched corpus is "verified" tools, which implies the scope of results but gives no detail on how query and category combine, whether either is optional in practice, or what the category slugs look like.

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?

States a specific verb ("Search") and a specific resource domain ("verified AI tools, autonomous agents, and B2B Micro-SaaS in AgentIndex"), so an agent knows exactly what corpus is being queried. It does not differentiate itself from siblings like submit_product or get_anchor_suggestions, though the verb alone makes the distinction fairly obvious.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

There is no when-to-use guidance, no mention of when not to use it, and no reference to an alternative tool. The agent must infer the usage context purely from the word "Search."

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