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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It does useful work by previewing the returned content (free to join, 3/5/10 visit tiers, member Early Bird price), which effectively discloses the answer topics for a zero-param info tool, but it never states that it is a side-effect-free lookup or what the response format looks like.

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?

A single compact sentence with the resource front-loaded and details trailing in a readable list. It is slightly telegraphic (colon-and-fragment construction) but contains no wasted material.

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?

A simple static-info tool with no params, no output schema, and no annotations; the description covers what an agent needs to decide to call it and roughly what it will learn. Only the return shape and the Early Bird overlap with get_early_bird remain unaddressed.

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?

Zero parameters, so there is nothing for the description to disambiguate; baseline applies. The description correctly implies no inputs are needed by asking only for program information.

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?

Names the specific resource (the 'Friends of Sole Mio' loyalty program) and enumerates what it covers: joining, visit-based rewards, and member pricing. It is distinguishable from siblings like get_hours or get_menu, though it omits an explicit verb (e.g., 'retrieve') and is written as a fragment.

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?

Usage is only implied — an agent asking about loyalty/rewards would pick this. There is no explicit when-to-use or when-not, and it does not acknowledge overlap with the sibling get_early_bird even though it mentions 'Early Bird member price'.

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