Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint=false, covering the operation's safety profile. The description adds useful context by stating that no authentication is required and that the result includes all available TLDs, but it does not describe the return shape, ordering, or pagination behavior. The description does not contradict the annotations.
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 two short sentences: the first is front-loaded with the verb, resource, and key content, and the second adds an important access condition. There is no filler or irrelevant information.
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 parameterless, read-only, idempotent tool, the description is largely self-contained. However, with no output schema and several overlapping siblings, it would be stronger if it clarified the difference between this tool, getDomainPricing, and listCategorizedTlds, or hinted at the response format.
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 input schema has zero parameters, so there are no parameter details the description needs to clarify. The description appropriately omits parameter information, and the 'with pricing information' phrase adds return-value context that is independent of parameters.
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 uses a clear verb-resource pair: get all available domain extensions (TLDs) with pricing information. It clearly states what is returned, but does not distinguish itself from closely related siblings such as getDomainPricing and listCategorizedTlds, so it lacks explicit sibling differentiation.
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 gives no guidance on when to call this tool instead of similar sibling tools like getDomainPricing or listCategorizedTlds. It only states an access requirement ('No authentication required'), which does not help an agent choose between alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
