Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already cover read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive behavior. The description adds valuable behavioral context beyond that: the returned hours are 'scoped 24/7 customer-access hours' and must not be interpreted as continuous staffing or service availability. This prevents a meaningful misinterpretation. There is no contradiction with 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?
The description is a single front-loaded sentence that states the action, the resource, and the important semantic caveat. There is no filler, repetition, or unnecessary detail. Every phrase contributes to correct tool use.
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 simple read-only tool with an output schema, strong safety annotations, and one optional enum parameter, the description is nearly complete. It communicates the key non-obvious nuance about staffing while the output schema covers return details. It could mention locale handling, but the schema already provides that context.
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 description coverage is 0%, and the description does not mention the `locale` parameter at all. The parameter's enum and default in the schema partially self-document it, but the description adds no meaning about how locale affects the response or when a caller should specify it. Given low coverage, the description fails to compensate.
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 uses a specific verb, 'Return', and identifies a precise resource: 'verified store location and scoped 24/7 customer-access hours.' It also adds a clarifying caveat about not implying continuous staffing, which sharpens the purpose. This clearly distinguishes the tool from sibling tools about ordering, policies, pricing, and services.
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 description implies the tool should be used when someone asks for the store location or customer-access hours, and the sibling list suggests alternatives for other topics. However, it never explicitly states when to use this tool versus alternatives or what questions should be routed elsewhere. Usage guidance is inferred, not stated.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Add one secure layer between your agents and this server.
Each tool targets a clearly distinct information area: hours/location, ordering link, delivery policy, pricing, and services. There is no meaningful overlap between tool purposes, and the descriptions reinforce these boundaries.
All tool names follow the exact pattern get_washbodega_<topic> with consistent snake_case verb-noun naming. The naming is predictable and makes the tool set easy to navigate.
Five tools is a well-scoped size for a read-only service discovery server. Each tool covers one necessary public information category without excess or redundancy.
For the stated purpose of service discovery, the tool set covers all key public-facing information: location hours, ordering link, pickup/delivery policy, pricing, and services. No major operational gaps exist because this server is intentionally read-only and does not need create/update/delete tools.
