B3/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is fully covered and the description carries a light burden. The only added context is the tenancy scope ("in this organization"), which is genuinely useful for knowing the ID is org-local. Nothing is said about not-found or invalid-ID behavior, so it is adequate but not rich.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

One front-loaded sentence with zero filler, appropriately sized for a single-parameter read. It is efficient, though the brevity borders on under-specification rather than polished concision.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be described, and annotations cover the safety profile. However, for a lookup tool the description never clarifies what a "site/location" entity is or how to obtain the required ID, leaving a real gap for an agent that has no ID in hand.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0%: locationId has a pattern and length bounds but no documented meaning, and the description only alludes to "a specific site" without explaining where the ID comes from or its format. For a single required identifier, the description should compensate and does not.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description gives a specific verb ("Read") and resource ("a specific site"), making clear this is a single-item fetch rather than a listing. It does not name the sibling that handles the alternative case (list_locations / find_locations_by_field), and it swaps "site" for "location", which is a minor terminology drift from the tool name.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

There is no guidance on when to use this versus list_locations or find_locations_by_field, and no prerequisites such as needing a valid locationId. An agent must infer the routing from the verb alone.

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