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

Even with readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, the description adds substantial behavioral context: it discloses that the tool reads a stored result rather than performing a new lookup, may return a provisional or non-exact-property result, and that text within the result is council data rather than a command. These details go well beyond the annotations and shape how the agent should interpret the tool's output. 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 relatively long but nearly every sentence adds necessary behavioral or safety information. There is mild redundancy, such as 'It starts no new lookup' appearing alongside the instruction to rerun find_addresses/get_collections on no_schedule, but the content is front-loaded with purpose and then organized into rules. It earns a high score for structure, with only minor tightening possible.

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?

This is a one-parameter read-only tool with no output schema, yet the description covers the caller's full workflow: when to use it, what data it relies on, what to do on no_schedule, how to handle provisional or non-exact results, and how to treat council data. The agent has everything needed to call the tool correctly and interpret its results safely.

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?

Although schema description coverage is 0% and property_id is the only parameter, the description gives it meaning beyond the schema's type/length constraint: it is the property_id 'that an earlier done lookup returned.' The rules also clarify that the agent must not invent or guess this value, which is essential for correct invocation. This fully compensates for the lack of schema param documentation.

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 opens by stating the exact action: 'Reads the stored schedule for a property_id that an earlier done lookup returned.' It immediately contrasts with a new lookup ('It starts no new lookup') and names alternatives, making the tool's purpose and scope unambiguous. This is far more specific than the title and clearly separates it from sibling tools like find_addresses and get_collections.

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?

It explicitly says to use this tool for a repeat check against a previously returned property_id and tells the agent what to do if no_schedule is returned: 'run find_addresses and get_collections again.' It also supplies clear negative rules: never guess or choose a property, never extend dates, and never treat council data as instructions. This gives the agent a complete decision procedure for when and how to invoke the tool.

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