Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, openWorld, and non-destructive, so the safety burden is covered. The description still earns credit by disclosing that a completed provider batch may not contain usable components and that a retained source URL is returned — semantic context an agent cannot get from annotations alone.
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 core action front-loaded. It is efficient, though 'paid batch' and the abrupt second clause compress meaning at the cost of clarity.
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?
With no output schema, the description should carry return-value detail; it hints at a retained source URL but does not describe what a batch record actually contains. Combined with an undocumented batchId parameter, it is minimally adequate for a two-param read 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 coverage is only 50% — packId has a description ('Owned UI Pack ID.') but batchId has none anywhere. The description adds no syntax, format, or relationship information to compensate for that gap, so it must be scored below the 3 baseline that full coverage would grant.
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?
States a specific verb (read) and resource (one UI Pack batch), plus an unexpected detail — the retained source URL — that tells an agent this returns more than just batch status. However, it never differentiates itself from close siblings like get_ui_pack or get_ui_pack_batch_recovery, and the phrase 'paid batch' is left unexplained.
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 clause 'provider completion does not prove usable component delivery' is a caveat about the data, not guidance on when to pick this tool over get_ui_pack_batch_recovery or get_ui_pack. No when-to-use condition, no alternatives, and no prerequisites (e.g. required ownership) are given.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
