B3.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds that results include property types and frequency, which is modest but genuine context beyond annotations; it says nothing about pagination or how frequency is computed.

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?

A single tight sentence with the key verb and resource front-loaded and no filler wording. It is efficient, though it sacrifices detail for brevity.

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?

No output schema exists, and with 5 parameters (3 required) and only 60% schema coverage, the description is thinner than ideal. It gives a rough sense of the return content but leaves required-parameter intent and filtering behavior undocumented.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema coverage is 60%, and the description adds no parameter-level meaning beyond the vague 'specific event' phrasing. It does not clarify event_name scoping, workspace_id, the limit default, or the property_type filter options ('all', 'common', 'non_common').

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 ('Get') and resource ('property metadata for a specific event') plus what the payload includes (types and frequency). It does not distinguish itself from close siblings such as get_source_event_schemas, get_source_event_names_similarity, or list_data_catalog_properties, so an agent must infer the difference.

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?

There is no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance and no mention of alternatives. Usage is only implied by the phrase 'specific event', leaving the agent to guess how this differs from the other event/property siblings.

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