Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations provide readOnlyHint=true, and the description adds that it retrieves relations (campground/park/region), which is useful behavioral information beyond the annotation. No contradictions.
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?
Single sentence, front-loaded with key action and resource. No unnecessary words.
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?
Given no output schema, the description hints at return content (relations), which is helpful. However, it doesn't specify if a single object or array is returned, or other fields. Almost complete but slightly lacking.
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 0% (only types), so the description must compensate. It states the parameters are campground and campsite_id, but does not explain their format (e.g., campground string meaning, campsite_id integer range). Provides basic purpose but insufficient detail.
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 clearly states the verb 'Get' and resource 'campsite', and specifies that it returns related campground/park/region data. It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'campsites.list' (list multiple) and 'campgrounds.get' (get campground).
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 description implies usage when retrieving a single campsite by IDs, but does not explicitly state when to use or not use this tool compared to alternatives like 'campsites.list' or 'campgrounds.get'.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
