+}Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and non-destructive behavior, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds a useful domain caveat that results are not legal advice, but it does not explain output format, permissions, or rate limits.
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 description is front-loaded and only two sentences long. The list of examples is somewhat lengthy but still purposeful for conveying the kinds of figures available.
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?
Although an output schema exists and annotations cover the read-only profile, the tool has a large, mostly undocumented dataset enum and an unexplained response_format option. The description does not provide enough guidance to reliably choose among ambiguous dataset names or understand what response_format changes.
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 coverage is only 33%, with key described in the schema and dataset supplied as a large enum. The description helps by indicating a single state/county/key within one dataset and gives examples of figure types, but it does not explain the many ambiguous dataset enum values or the response_format parameter.
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 identifies a single-key lookup across datasets, reinforced by the title. It is clear what the tool does, but it does not explicitly distinguish this tool from siblings such as data_search or data_compare.
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 examples imply that this is for retrieving figures for one key from one dataset, which suggests usage. However, it gives no explicit when-to-use guidance, no exclusions, and no named alternatives for related sibling tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
