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 discloses meaningful non-schema behavior: the first verdict is free once per proven-wallet operator, and paid verdicts settle over x402 via POST /readiness. However, it does not explain how wallet proof works, whether the call is read-only, what happens when payment is required, or what the verdict contains.

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 short and front-loads the core purpose. The second clause packs in pricing, payment protocol, and endpoint information, which is dense but relevant.

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 one-parameter tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description covers purpose and payment behavior but leaves important gaps: agent identifier semantics, output/verdict contents, and authentication proof details. It is minimally viable rather than fully complete.

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 description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate for the single agent parameter. It only says the verdict is for one agent, without specifying whether agent is an address, ID, or other identifier format, so it adds little beyond the schema's parameter name and type.

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 output, a readiness verdict for one agent, and clarifies that it combines inventory and screen. It is clearer than a bare name, though it does not explicitly differentiate itself from siblings such as convoy_screen or convoy_status.

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 explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus convoy_screen, convoy_status, or other siblings. The free/paid pricing note is useful context but does not tell an agent which tool to select for a given task.

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