B3.1/5.0

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, closed-world), and the description usefully adds that no auth is required and the estimate is non-binding against a live catalog. It stops short of explaining validation failure behavior, whether the estimate can be stale, or how 'bounded' is enforced.

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?

One dense, front-loaded sentence with no padding. 'Bounded' is the only term that does no real work, since the binding constraint is never defined.

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

Completeness2/5

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

An output schema exists so return values are covered, but with a free-form nested request object, a catalog-derived capability_id, and a strict decimal-pattern price cap, the description is too thin for a tool whose schema explains nothing. It should at minimum say where capability_id comes from and what the price ceiling format means.

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 all three parameters are undocumented in the schema, so the description carries the full burden — but it only hints at max_total_price via 'bounded' and 'price'. It never explains capability_id (which must come from the catalog) or what shape the nested request object should take.

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?

States a specific verb pair (validate, estimate) and resource (wave job), and names the outputs (price, duration). It implicitly contrasts with run_wave_job via 'non-binding' and 'without authentication', but never names the sibling that actually executes the job.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

'Without authentication' and 'non-binding' imply this is a pre-flight check before committing to a paid run, but the description never states when to use this instead of run_wave_job or what to do with the result afterward. Usage is inferable rather than stated.

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