A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already cover readOnly, idempotent, and non-destructive, so the safety profile is free. The description adds that the payload includes check history and root-cause hints, which is useful, but says nothing about behavior on a missing/unknown id or payload size.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

One front-loaded sentence that names the resource, the scope, and the notable payload contents with zero filler.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a simple single-entity read with rich annotations, the description is nearly sufficient; the mention of check history and root-cause hints substitutes for a missing output schema. It could still note the not-found behavior, which is the only real gap.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% with a single required 'id' string, so the schema fully documents the parameter. The description adds no format, provenance, or lookup guidance (e.g., where ids come from) beyond that.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Specific verb+resource: 'Fetch a single incident' clearly separates it from vs_incidents_list, and it names the payload contents. It does not name the sibling explicitly, but 'single' does the differentiation implicitly.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Requiring an id implies the tool is for retrieving one known incident, and 'single' implies the list tool is for discovery, but neither the alternative nor any condition is stated outright. Usage is only inferable.

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