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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, openWorldHint=true and idempotentHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds the shape of the result (findings/scores/recommendations) and an ordering dependency, but does not explain anything about the non-idempotent read behavior or how the formatted output differs from the raw audit.

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 with no filler; the purpose is front-loaded and the workflow hint follows immediately. Every clause carries information the agent can act on.

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 read-only tool with no output schema, the description conveys what is returned and the follow-up call needed to produce the polished artifact, and annotations cover the safety profile. It is nearly complete, missing only disambiguation from the several report/audit siblings.

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%: audit_id and detail (concise vs detailed, with the top-25 trimming rule) are both fully documented in the schema. The description adds no parameter-level meaning, so the baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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 ('Get a formatted audit report') and enumerates the payload (findings, scores, recommendations), which differentiates it somewhat from a raw get_audit. However, it never names the lookalike siblings (get_audit, export_audit_report, download_report, generate_report), so the agent must guess which report accessor is intended.

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 second sentence gives a concrete precondition and ordering hint (call get_audit_framework(section=report_template) before writing the polished report), which is genuinely useful workflow guidance. It still offers no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use versus get_audit/export_audit_report, so it remains implied usage rather than stated selection criteria.

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