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 ordering and pre-introduction usage, but does not state read-only behavior, auth requirements, or return shape; for a zero-parameter list the risk is low, so this is partial rather than inadequate.
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?
Three short sentences, front-loaded with the resource and followed by usage and exclusion details. Each sentence adds distinct value, though the first sentence is a noun phrase rather than an explicit action statement.
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 low-complexity, zero-parameter list with no output schema and no annotations, the description covers resource, order, usage context, and scope boundary. It could say more about return format, but that is not required for an agent to select and call this 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?
The tool has zero parameters, so there is no parameter semantics to document. The baseline score for zero params is 4, and the description adds no misleading parameter information.
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 the specific resource (walk-around checks on the method page) and its ordering, and distinguishes it from the OSHA daily exam. The name supplies the 'list' verb, and the description makes the resource concrete enough to separate from siblings like screen_truck.
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?
Gives clear workflow context ('The desk uses these before an introduction') and an explicit exclusion ('This is not the OSHA daily exam'). It does not name a tool alternative, but the when-condition and scope boundary are stated.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
