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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It communicates the core action (generates backend code) but does not disclose any details about the code's structure, language, or return behavior beyond what the output schema already provides. It is not misleading, but it offers limited behavioral insight.

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 sentence that is immediately informative, front-loaded with the core verb and object. It contains no unnecessary words or repetition.

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 code generator with no parameters and an output schema, the description is adequate. It could add context about what 'payout status' means or how the snippet integrates, but the current text is sufficient for an agent to select and invoke the tool correctly.

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 has zero parameters, so the baseline per the rubric is 4. The description correctly does not need to explain parameter semantics because there are none to explain.

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 the tool's function: generating backend code to query payout status via the Payram SDK. It names both the resource (payout status) and the SDK, and the phrase 'payout status' distinguishes it from sibling tools like generate_payment_status_snippet and generate_referral_status_snippet.

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 the use case (generating payout status snippets) but provides no explicit guidance on when to choose this over alternatives such as generate_payout_sdk_snippet or generate_payment_status_snippet. There is no mention of exclusions or alternative scenarios.

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