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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden. It hints that the result includes a premium, coverage legs, and uncovered units, but does not clarify whether quoting is read-only, what permissions are required, whether it reserves capacity, or how it relates to issuing. This is insufficient for a tool with zero annotation coverage.

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 a single short sentence and is front-loaded with the verb and resource. However, it is compressed to the point of being cryptic, packing unexplained jargon into a colon-separated list rather than structuring the information for comprehension. It is concise but not adequately structured.

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 annotations, no output schema, and 0% schema description coverage, the definition needs to explain parameters, behavior, and usage context. It provides only a terse fragment about result components and omits parameter meaning, side effects, and sibling distinction. It is not complete enough for an agent to invoke this tool reliably.

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 schema has two required parameters ("model" and "units") with 0% description coverage, and the tool description never mentions or defines either. "Uncovered units" in the description does not explain the "units" parameter, and "model" is entirely unaddressed. The description provides no semantic compensation for the missing schema documentation.

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 states a specific verb ("Quote") and resource ("protected window"), which is more than a tautology. However, "protected window" and "coverage legs" are unexplained domain jargon, so the agent cannot confidently distinguish this from capacity_pack or capacity_envelope. Sibling differentiation is absent.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool rather than capacity_envelope, capacity_issue, or capacity_pack. The description implies a quoting step but never states prerequisites, alternatives, or exclusions. The agent must infer usage entirely.

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