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 covered. The description adds only that events are organization-scoped, but says nothing about pagination behavior, filtering semantics, or return format beyond what the schema implies.
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 single sentence is efficient and front-loads the action and resource, with no filler. However, its extreme brevity borders on under-specification for a tool with multiple filter parameters.
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 4 filter parameters at 0% schema coverage and no parameter explanations in the description, the definition is incomplete for correct invocation. An output schema exists, so return values needn't be explained, but the input semantics are missing.
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?
There are 4 parameters (limit, offset, state, status) with 0% schema description coverage, and the description does not mention any of them. An agent has no explanation of what 'state' or 'status' filter on, or how pagination works, leaving parameter meaning entirely undocumented.
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 states a verb ('Read') and resource ('organization Law Watch events'), but it is nearly a paraphrase of the title and does not clarify that it lists multiple events or differentiate from siblings like list_law_decisions, list_law_notes, or get_law_event. An agent can infer it lists events, but the purpose is not sharply distinguished.
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 gives no guidance on when to use this tool versus the many other list_* law-related tools or get_law_event. There are no exclusions, prerequisites, or alternative conditions mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
