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

With no annotations, the description carries the behavioral disclosure burden. 'Find' clearly signals a read-only search and the listed categories add useful query constraints. However, it does not disclose empty-query behavior, matching semantics, or other search traits; those details live in the schema.

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?

The description is one front-loaded sentence that states the action, resource, and valid categories in order. There is no filler, and the parenthetical list of categories is compact and directly useful.

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 simple search tool with one optional parameter, full schema coverage, and an output schema, the description is largely complete. The only notable gap is explicit usage routing against sibling tools, already penalized under usage guidelines.

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?

The single 'query' parameter has 100% schema description coverage, restating the same name/product/category semantics and adding 'empty lists all'. The tool description adds no parameter meaning beyond the schema, so the schema carries the load.

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?

The description opens with the specific verb 'Find', names the resource ('scraping providers and products'), and scopes the search by name or category with enumerated domain values. The purpose is unmistakable, but it does not explicitly differentiate this tool from siblings like get_provider or recommend_scraping_stack.

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?

The description implies the tool is for discovery by query, but it provides no explicit guidance about when to choose this tool over get_provider, compare_products, or recommend_scraping_stack. Without naming alternatives or exclusions, the agent must infer usage context from the sibling list.

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