Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false. The description adds value by enumerating specific non-actions, such as not opening the link or creating an order, which clarifies that calling this tool has no side effects beyond returning data.
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?
Two sentences, front-loaded with the core purpose and followed by behavioral exclusions. The word 'read-only' slightly duplicates the annotation, but the rest of the second sentence earns its place.
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?
Annotations and the output schema cover safety and return shape, and the description is clear about the tool's non-actions. However, the description never explains what 'limits' means or how the parameters influence the result, leaving a real gap for an agent deciding how to invoke it.
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 says nothing about the 'service' or 'locale' parameters. An agent cannot tell how service choices like 'wash-fold' vs 'pickup-delivery' affect the returned link or its limits, or how locale changes the response.
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 'Return' and a clear resource: 'the Cents ordering link and its limits.' This distinguishes it from sibling tools that cover hours, pricing, services, and pickup/delivery policy.
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?
Gives clear when-not-to-use guidance: it 'does not open the link, submit data, confirm a route, create an order, or take payment.' It does not explicitly name which sibling to use as an alternative, so it misses the top score, but the context is clear.
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.
