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

Annotations cover the safety profile (readOnlyHint=true), so the description's job is to add context, which it does: it discloses that the payload is static/not live and costs nothing. That liveness and cost disclosure is genuinely useful beyond the annotations, though it says nothing about rate limits or whether the sample is representative of every endpoint.

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?

One short sentence with the cost qualifier ('Free') front-loaded and the core meaning — static sample, not live — stated immediately after. No sentence is wasted on a tool this simple.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be described, and with zero parameters and clear annotations the description is nearly sufficient as-is. The only unstated item is any caveat about how representative the sample is, which is minor.

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?

The tool takes zero parameters, so the baseline is 4; there is nothing for the description to disambiguate. The description correctly implies a no-input call and adds no misleading parameter claims.

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 exactly what the tool returns: a static sample of a sentiment response, explicitly flagged as not live data. The parenthetical '(not live data)' implicitly distinguishes it from live siblings such as get_market_sentiment and get_daily_scores, so an agent can route correctly without opening a schema.

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?

'To preview the shape' gives a clear use context — inspecting response structure before wiring up a real call — and 'Free' signals there is no cost to calling it. It stops short of explicitly naming alternatives or stating when not to use it, so it does not reach a 5.

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