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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It discloses key behaviors: crawling every sitemap page, cross-checking robots.txt rules, inspecting HSTS/CSP headers, and generating deliverables. It does not explicitly state that the operation is read-only or mention rate limits, but 'audits' and the output framing make the non-destructive intent clear.

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?

The description is a single dense sentence but each clause contributes meaningful information about scope, checks, and outputs. It is not bloated, though splitting it into two sentences would improve scanability slightly.

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?

The description names the key return artifacts (health score, inventory table, remediation roadmap) despite lacking an output schema, and covers the main scope and checks. It does not describe output format or detailed edge cases, but for a complex audit tool it provides enough context for an agent to understand what it will get.

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 100%, so the baseline applies. The tool description adds no parameter-level detail beyond what the schema already documents for target, maxPages, and userAgent, though it does reinforce that target can be a URL or local path.

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?

The description clearly states a specific action (crawls and audits every page in a sitemap) and a defined scope (sitemap.xml or local routes), and lists concrete checks and outputs. It does not explicitly differentiate itself from sibling tools like seo_audit_robots_and_sitemap, but the multipage sitemap-wide scope makes its purpose reasonably distinct.

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?

The description implies when to use the tool: when a full sitemap-wide audit covering robots.txt, headers, and a health score is needed. However, it offers no explicit exclusions or comparisons to alternatives such as seo_audit_technical or seo_audit_robots_and_sitemap, leaving routing to inference.

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