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

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, closed-world), so the description doesn't need to restate them. It adds useful scoping context by introducing a new behavioral fact: the price includes the date it was checked, implying time-sensitivity. However it says nothing about depth limits, throttling, or what happens on a missing tool name. Adequate but not rich.

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?

One long enumerative sentence followed by a short routing sentence — front-loaded and waste-free, but the field list is dense and could have been trimmed to the most decision-relevant fields. Still, every clause carries identifying information.

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 single-parameter read tool with no output schema, the description usefully enumerates the returned profile sections and points to the search sibling. It lacks guidance on handling a not-found tool or partial profiles, a minor gap against an otherwise complete definition.

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 coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description goes slightly beyond by framing the parameter's role as identifying 'one named tool', reinforcing the single-tool lookup semantics, and the schema itself gives accepted forms (name, slug, URL) with examples.

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 (returns) and resource (full profile of one named tool), then enumerates the exact fields returned. It also explicitly distinguishes itself from the sibling workinsiders_search_tools, so an agent can route correctly without opening schemas.

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 closing sentence names the sibling alternative (workinsiders_search_tools) and the condition that selects it (finding tools by need or filter), implying this tool is for retrieving detail on a known tool. That is explicit when-to-use-this-vs-alternative guidance.

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