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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent and non-destructive, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds genuinely useful context the annotations don't: it is paginated, it is a public endpoint, and it returns English natural-language text preserving sources and conditions. It stops short of disclosing ordering, page size defaults, or result volume.

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?

Three short sentences, front-loaded with the access scope and the anonymous-feedback exclusion, which are the highest-value facts. The closing sentence about 'English natural-language text, preserving sources, conditions and pagination' is the weakest and verges on boilerplate, but it does not derail the definition.

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?

For a simple zero-required-parameter list tool with full annotation coverage and no output schema, the description supplies the key missing pieces: authentication scope, the anonymous exclusion, pagination, and the nature of the returned content. Only the status filter's semantics and pagination defaults remain unexplained.

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 description coverage is 0%, so the description must carry parameter meaning, and it only covers pagination ('paginated') in passing while saying nothing about the 'status' enum (pending/in_progress/resolved/closed) or how it filters results. With just two optional, largely self-describing parameters this is adequate but leaves the one non-obvious filter undocumented.

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 verb and resource ('List feedback') plus a clear scope qualifier ('submitted while signed in to your current account'), which separates it from the anonymous/public feedback surface. The sibling get_my_feedback is only indirectly implied via 'fetch the selected feedback', so differentiation is good but not named outright.

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?

Gives a clear use context (list your own signed-in feedback) and an explicit exclusion ('Anonymous feedback is not accessible'). It also implicitly routes the agent onward ('fetch the selected feedback to continue its discussion') rather than leaving the next step unstated, though the target tool is never named.

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