D1.6/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

The only behavioral trait disclosed is that the tool is paid (10 iron-cents). No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It fails to explain what happens after calling (e.g., return format, side effects, required permissions).

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness2/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

While extremely short, the description is under-specified and not useful. Conciseness should not come at the cost of clarity; here, it fails to convey essential information.

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

Completeness1/5

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

Given the lack of annotations, output schema, and schema descriptions, the description must compensate. It fails to provide enough context for an AI agent to use the tool correctly, leaving critical gaps in understanding.

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

Parameters1/5

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

The single parameter 'job' is not described in the schema or description. With 0% schema description coverage, the description should clarify the parameter's meaning, but it provides no additional information.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose2/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description 'iron-explain-co explains it' is vague and does not clearly state what the tool does or what 'it' refers to. The tool name suggests marketplace explanation, but the description lacks specificity and fails to distinguish from siblings like market_draft or market_review.

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

Usage Guidelines1/5

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 mention of 'PAID (10 iron-cents)' indicates cost but does not provide context for appropriate usage scenarios or prerequisites.

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