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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, closed-world and non-destructive, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds genuinely new behavioral context beyond them: the data is public-record only, limited to two Texas counties, and explicitly contains no sale prices or valuations — a useful negative disclosure that prevents the agent from promising data the tool cannot return.

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 the core purpose, then scope, then the negative data caveat. Every clause carries information the agent needs and none repeats structured fields verbatim.

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?

This is a single-parameter read tool with full annotation coverage, a 100%-documented schema and an output schema, so return values need no explanation in prose. The description still supplies the county restriction and the no-valuation caveat — everything an agent needs to call it correctly and set user expectations.

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 100% and the pattern constraint plus example ('Collin:2771234') already document the id format. The description adds only the provenance hint that the id comes from search or other RBSHome tools, which is marginal beyond what the schema provides; baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 a specific verb ('Get') and resource ('full public-record summary for one property id') and enumerates the payload (location, owner of record, tax-delinquency, appraisal values, sources with dates). It implicitly separates itself from search by requiring an id 'returned by search', though it never explicitly distinguishes itself from the overlapping sibling get_property.

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?

It gives a clear usage flow: use this after search or another RBSHome tool has produced an id, and it states the geographic scope (Dallas and Collin County, Texas only) which functions as a when-not-to-use condition. It stops short of naming an alternative for cases outside those counties or explaining when get_property would be preferred instead.

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