Returns the recorded payment and fulfillment states for one owned order, with its timeline and available provider evidence. Fax confirmation concerns transmission to the receiving machine; mail delivery states reflect provider-reported milestones.

Annotations already declare this as read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive. The description adds valuable behavioral nuance by explaining that fax confirmation concerns transmission only and mail states are provider-reported milestones, which prevents misinterpretation of status fields. It does not contradict the annotations.
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 sentences with no fluff. The main verb and resource are front-loaded, and the additional clarification about fax and mail states earns its place. Every word adds value.
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 single-parameter status tool with no output schema, the description covers the essential aspects: what the response contains (states, timeline, evidence) and how to interpret certain fields. It could go further on return structure or error behavior, but the given information is sufficient for basic correct invocation.
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 description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate for the single 'orderId' parameter. It only implies that the order must be 'owned' but does not explicitly state that orderId is the identifier for that order, its format, or how to obtain it. This is a clear gap.
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 uses a specific verb ('Returns') and resource ('one owned order'), and clarifies exactly what is returned: payment and fulfillment states, timeline, and provider evidence. It differentiates from siblings by scope (single owned order vs. presumably lists in postedly_orders) and resource type (document vs. order).
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 clear context for when the tool is appropriate: to retrieve status for a specific owned order. It does not explicitly mention alternatives or when-not-to-use, but the scoping to 'one owned order' makes the primary use case obvious, which is sufficient for a simple status check.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
