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

Annotations declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=false, so safety and closed-world scope are covered. The description adds only that results are 'short' and limited to one topic, which is modest extra context beyond the annotations.

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?

A single short sentence that is front-loaded and waste-free, though it is arguably too terse to guide invocation in a crowded sibling set.

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?

Read-only and closed-world behavior are covered by annotations and the parameter is fully documented, so the essentials are present. However, with six sibling get_* tools and no output schema, the description doesn't clarify how this differs from overlapping tools such as get_va_info or get_contact_and_support.

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% with a fully enumerated topic parameter, so the schema carries parameter meaning. The description reinforces the single-topic scoping, adding minor value on top of the schema.

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 a specific verb (get) and resource (FAQ) scoped to a single topic, which is clear on its own. It doesn't explicitly differentiate from siblings like get_va_info or get_contact_and_support, though the FAQ/topic framing implies a distinct role.

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?

No guidance on when to use this versus siblings such as get_va_info or get_contact_and_support, which could overlap for a virtual_assistants or support topic. Usage must be inferred entirely from the name and enum values.

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