A3.5/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already establish read-only, idempotent, non-destructive, closed-world behavior, so the description isn't burdened with safety disclosure. It adds the licensing rationale behind the tool, but says nothing about response shape beyond the field names or about empty/fallback cases when a citation isn't available.

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?

Two short sentences with the resource list front-loaded and no repetition of the title. The licensing sentence earns its place as rationale, though it is slightly tangential to the mechanics of the call.

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

Completeness4/5

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 needn't be spelled out, and annotations cover the safety profile. The description gives enough to pick the tool and identify which inputs scope the citation, with only the default-dataset and response_format behavior left to the schema.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema coverage is 80%, so the schema largely documents parameters and the baseline is 3. The description does connect 'a state' and 'one record' to the state/record selection, but adds nothing about the dataset default, topic, or response_format choices beyond what the schema already says.

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 names a concrete verb and target: it returns citation artifacts (citation sentence, credit line, DOI, URL) for a dataset, a state, or a single record. That is clearly different from lookup/rule-retrieval siblings like get_rule or data_lookup, though it doesn't explicitly name an alternative.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Usage is only implied by the licensing remark ('CC BY 4.0 asks for credit and a link'), which suggests when attribution is needed. There is no explicit when-to-use, when-not, or pointer to a sibling such as data_lookup for the underlying data.

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