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

Annotations cover the safety profile (readOnlyHint=false, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, openWorldHint=false), so the agent knows this is a non-destructive but mutating/idempotent operation. What the annotations cannot convey is that this is a paid job (max_total_price, payment_rail, idempotency_key are required), yet the description says nothing about cost, billing, quote/run flow, or what 'verified' means. That is a substantial undisclosed behavior for a commercial job-submission tool.

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?

It is a single short, front-loaded sentence with no filler, which is structurally sound. But because it merely duplicates the title verbatim, the sentence does not earn its place — it conveys no incremental information.

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?

For a tool with four parameters, nested objects, an enums field, required payment/pricing fields, and a paid job workflow, a one-line title restatement is inadequate. An output schema exists so return values need not be described, but the invocation context — cost limits, idempotency, payment rail, strategy selection — is entirely absent.

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% across four parameters, including deeply nested objects (request.target, request.circuit, request.matrix) and an enum-bearing 'strategy' field. The description only gestures at 'two-qubit block' and 'target-native', which loosely hint at the matrix/circuit and target inputs but explain no field, no enum values, and no pricing semantics.

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?

Tautological: description restates name/title.

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?

There is no when-to-use guidance, no statement of prerequisites, and no mention of alternatives among the many quantum siblings. The word 'best' implies some ranking among candidate implementations but does not tell the agent when this tool is preferable to compiling or translating a circuit.

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