+}Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive, so the closing safety sentence is largely redundant, but the description adds genuinely new behavior: a hard cap of 50 results, a nextOffset cursor for paging, and newest-first ordering. What is missing is anything about authorization scope beyond "owned" or what happens when filters match nothing.
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?
Three short sentences, front-loaded with purpose and filter scope, then return shape, then safety. No filler or redundant restatement of the title.
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?
With no output schema, the description correctly fills the gap by describing the result shape (up to 50 orders plus nextOffset, newest first) and the default empty-filter behavior. It stops short of covering pagination termination or permission prerequisites, which an agent would still want.
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 carries the full burden and mostly meets it: it maps query to recipient name or order ID, names the service, fulfillmentStatus and date-range filters, and covers limit and offset via "up to 50" and "nextOffset for another page." It does not explain that offset/limit are required with defaults, nor the date-time format constraints, leaving minor gaps.
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 opening sentence gives a specific verb (Returns) plus a scoped resource (owned orders) and enumerates the filter dimensions the tool matches on. It never references the closest sibling, postedly_order_status, so an agent cannot fully rule out overlap from the description alone.
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?
"Omitting filters preserves the recent-order view" implies the no-argument usage, but there is no explicit when-to-use vs. when-not, and no mention of postedly_order_status or postedly_delivery_report as alternatives. Usage must be inferred from the filter list rather than stated.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
