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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds the data provenance (Search Console) and that results match the Traffic page presentation, which is useful orientation but no rate limits, freshness lag, or granularity details.

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 tight sentences with zero filler; the resource definition is front-loaded and the sibling routing follows immediately. Nothing to cut.

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?

There is no output schema, and the description does supply the key return content (clicks and impressions over time). For a one-optional-parameter read-only tool this is nearly sufficient, though granularity (daily vs. weekly aggregation) and timezone/date-basis are left unstated.

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 the single 'days' parameter already documents its default (90) and maximum (180) inline. The description adds nothing about the window parameter, so the baseline 3 applies.

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 the specific resource and metric set ('clicks and impressions over time from Search Console') rather than restating the name, and explicitly positions itself against the sibling my_search_console by contrasting trend metrics with query reporting. An agent can distinguish the two 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?

Explicitly names the alternative and its scope: 'Use this alongside my_search_console, which reports the queries.' This tells the agent these are complementary, not competing. It stops short of stating when-not to use it (e.g., for query-level or page-level breakdowns), so a 4 rather than 5.

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