Changes observed during successful MCP inspections.
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so 'Read-only and safe to repeat; it changes nothing' merely restates structured data and earns no credit. With zero annotation gap to fill, the description adds no behavioral context beyond what is already machine-readable.
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 content summary is front-loaded in the first sentence, which is the useful part. The second sentence is pure redundancy against the annotations, costing a bit of conciseness but not harming comprehension.
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, but the description enumerates the substantive topics returned (mission, history, training approach), which is enough for a zero-parameter informational tool. No permissions, side effects, or edge cases remain unaddressed.
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 takes no parameters, so schema description coverage of 100% and the baseline of 4 apply. There is nothing for the description to clarify about inputs.
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 names a specific resource and enumerates its content (identity, mission, history, training approach), so an agent knows this returns narrative company background rather than FAQ, pricing, or support data. It does not explicitly contrast itself with the nearby get_platform_overview sibling, leaving that distinction to inference.
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?
Usage is only implied: the content summary suggests 'use this for company background questions', but there is no explicit when-to-use statement, no exclusions, and no routing to alternatives such as get_platform_overview or get_faq for adjacent informational needs.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
