B3/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint, and openWorldHint, so safety is well covered. The description adds an approval-related note about configurable MCP approval requirements and business workflow approvals, which is useful context, but it does not explain pagination, search behavior, or result ordering.

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?

The description is short and front-loads the usage context. However, the approval sentence is somewhat tangential for a read-only list operation and could be trimmed unless approvals materially affect this tool's use.

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

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The tool is relatively simple, annotations cover safety, and an output schema exists, so the description need not explain return values. Still, with 0% schema coverage on the three parameters, the description is incomplete regarding pagination and search semantics.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0% and the description does not document the three parameters. 'Search organization contacts' hints at the search parameter, but limit and offset are completely unexplained in both the schema and the description.

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 states a specific action and resource: searching organization contacts in RetailHardHat. It is clear enough to distinguish from mutation siblings like create_contact or update_contact, but it does not explicitly differentiate from get_contact or other list-oriented tools such as list_organization_users.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

The phrase 'Use this when working with RetailHardHat contacts records' gives only a broad context and does not explain when to choose this tool over get_contact, create_contact, or other contact-related siblings. No alternatives or exclusions are named.

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