Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true, idempotentHint=false, and openWorldHint=true, which is a lot of behavioral signal. The description adds nothing beyond that — no mention of the surprising destructive flag on a create operation, no cost/credit implications, and no note about what happens if the domain is already registered.
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 short sentence, front-loaded with the action and resource, with zero wasted words. Nothing to trim.
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 one-parameter create tool with rich annotations and full schema coverage, the description is minimally sufficient. It still leaves open the behavior on duplicate domains and the practical meaning of the destructive flag, which are the details an agent would most want before invoking 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 100% and the single 'domain' parameter is fully documented with an example format in the schema. The description contributes no additional parameter meaning, so the baseline 3 applies.
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 and resource ('Add a new website') plus the account scope and intended domain of use (SEO tracking and analysis). It does not, however, differentiate itself from adjacent siblings such as delete_site, list_sites, or get_site, so the reader must infer the distinction from the name alone.
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?
There is no when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites, and no mention of alternatives. Nothing tells the agent what conditions should trigger creating a site versus adopting one via adopt_site_redirect or connecting an existing property like connect_ga or connect_wordpress.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
