Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided; description only mentions return type (summary and link) without disclosing any side effects, permissions, or rate limits. For a read-only information tool, basic transparency is present but minimal.
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?
Two sentences, front-loaded with purpose and usage. Every sentence adds value with no extraneous words.
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?
Tool is simple with one parameter; description covers return values and intended use. Sibling tools are distinct, providing sufficient context. Minor lack: no mention of expected response format, but acceptable for a simple guide retrieval.
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 coverage is 100% and includes a clear description for the topic parameter. The description reiterates the 'omit to return all' behavior already present in the schema, adding no new semantic value beyond output information.
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?
Description clearly states it returns buyer-safety guidance for pet scams and safe adoption, distinct from sibling tools that deal with breed browsing and listings. Verb and resource are specific.
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?
Explicitly states use case for safety questions ('how do I safely buy/adopt' or 'is this a scam'), providing clear context. Does not explicitly state when not to use, but sibling tools imply alternative uses.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Add one secure layer between your agents and this server.
Each tool has a clear, distinct purpose: browsing breeds, getting buyer safety info, retrieving listing details, and searching listings. No overlap or confusion possible.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case (browse_breeds, get_buying_guide, get_pet_listing, search_pet_listings).
With 4 tools covering breed info, safety guidance, listing details, and search, the set is well-scoped for a buyer-focused pet listing service.
Covers core buyer workflows (search, detail, breed research, safety). Minor gap: no tool to list all available species or filter by more attributes, but not a critical omission.
