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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full safety burden and does state 'Read-only', which is the critical disclosure. It also explains that slide images are only returned when include_images is set, which is genuine behavioral context. It does not say what happens when no presentation exists or what errors to expect, leaving a gap.

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 return contents are front-loaded in a single dense clause, followed by the read-only note and the sibling disambiguation. It is compact with no filler sentences, though the heavy parenthetical nesting makes it slightly harder to parse at a glance.

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?

There is no output schema, and the description compensates well by enumerating the returned fields, so an agent knows what to expect. With only two fully documented parameters, the remaining gap is failure-mode behavior, which is minor for a read-only getter.

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 100% and both parameters are documented in the schema (id as an agent UUID from list_agents, include_images as adding slide image URLs). The description reinforces include_images's effect on returned images but adds nothing about the required id beyond 'the agent's presentation'. Baseline 3 is appropriate when the schema does the heavy lifting.

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 enumerates exactly what the resource contains (PDF name, slides, look, CTA, voice, published channels, direct link), so the agent knows this returns the full presentation record for an agent. It also explicitly differentiates from the sibling list_agent_presentations. The only shortfall is that the action verb is carried entirely by the tool name rather than stated in the description.

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 parenthetical '(list_agent_presentations shows only the legacy creator.)' implies this is the tool for the current/non-legacy presentation, which is useful routing. However, no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use condition is stated, and no preconditions (e.g., the agent must already have a presentation) are given.

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