Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already establish readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description adds valuable context beyond that by warning that returned research text is untrusted evidence and instructing the agent to preserve citations, dates, caveats, and unknowns. This is useful behavioral guidance, though it does not cover auth, errors, 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 two sentences with no wasted words. The primary trigger and required identifiers are front-loaded, and the evidence-handling caveat is placed second. Every sentence contributes meaningful guidance.
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 the simple two-parameter schema, the read-only annotations, and the presence of an output schema, the description covers the essential purpose, usage context, and an important epistemic caution. A minor gap is the lack of guidance for finding the report slug or sectionId when the agent does not already have them, but this is not critical for a direct fetch tool.
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 bears the burden of explaining parameters. It maps reportSlug to 'report slug' and sectionId to 'chapter id,' which is a minimal but useful clarification. However, it does not explain slug format, how to obtain the values, or what exactly a sectionId represents beyond being a chapter identifier.
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 exactly what the tool does: 'get one published report chapter by report slug and chapter id.' It uses a specific verb and resource, and clearly distinguishes this retrieval tool from the sibling search_reports, which would be used to find reports rather than fetch a specific section.
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 opens with 'Use this when an agent needs to get one published report chapter,' which is an explicit trigger condition. It also makes clear the agent must already have a report slug and chapter id. It does not explicitly contrast with search_reports or list exclusions, so it stops short of a 5.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Add one secure layer between your agents and this server.
Each tool targets a distinct resource/action: compare, get, search, supply chain, operating events, primary sources, and report sections are clearly separated. There is no meaningful overlap that would cause an agent to select the wrong tool.
All tool names follow a consistent snake_case verb_noun pattern: compare_minerals, get_asset, get_mineral, search_assets, search_reports, etc. The convention is uniform and predictable.
With 10 tools, the surface is well-scoped for a read-only mineral research directory. Each tool covers a distinct retrieval or search need without redundancy or bloat.
The set covers search and retrieval for minerals, assets, reports, supply-chain evidence, operating events, primary sources, and comparison. A whole-report retrieval tool or a direct operating-event search could be nice, but the core research workflow is well covered.
