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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It states the return type (markdown) and gives an example id format, which is transparent about the output. However, it does not mention error behavior, permissions, or any side effects, though for a likely read-only getter this is acceptable.

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 with a clear subject, verb, and object, plus an example. Every word earns its place; there is no fluff or redundancy.

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?

Given the tool's simplicity (one param, no nested objects) and the presence of an output schema, the description is sufficient. It explains the purpose and input, though it could briefly mention how to discover ids (e.g., list_payram_docs) for full completeness.

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 schema provides no description for the 'id' parameter (0% coverage), so the description must compensate. It does so by explaining that the id is used to fetch a doc and giving an example ('features/payouts'), which adds meaningful format context beyond the bare schema.

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 action (returns markdown) and the resource (Payram doc) with an input identifier. It gives a concrete example, but it does not explicitly distinguish from siblings like list_payram_docs or explain_payram_concepts, so it is not a 5.

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?

Usage is implied: use this when you have a doc id and want markdown. However, there is no explicit guidance on when to use this rather than list_payram_docs or other sibling tools, and no exclusionary context is provided.

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