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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint false. The description adds 'paginated', which is a small behavioral note beyond the schema, but does not describe return format or search semantics.

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?

One short sentence, but it is under-specified rather than concisely informative. It lacks necessary detail about parameters and usage, so the brevity is not effective.

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?

Given the many sibling search tools and an output schema, this description is far too minimal. It fails to explain what 'OCR text' means, how to construct the query, or how it differs from search_ocr_pattern. The agent could easily select the wrong tool.

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% and the description says nothing about q, page, or limit. The meaning of q (full-text query, regex, etc.) is entirely unspecified, so the agent lacks critical information to construct a valid request.

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?

Clear verb ('Search') and resource ('OCR text'), but does not specify scope or distinguish from sibling tools like search_ocr_pattern. The parenthetical 'paginated' hints at a detail but does not elevate it to a full scope definition.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description lacks any context about supported query types, limitations, or when to prefer search_ocr_pattern or get_ocr_by_scan.

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