Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description reads as a harmless checking operation while annotations set readOnlyHint to false and destructiveHint to true, which is an annotation contradiction. It does not disclose what destructive behavior may occur, what side effects accompany validation, or when the tool might mutate or remove 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?
At three words, this is under-specification rather than effective conciseness. The description repeats the tool title exactly and offers no meaningful guidance for an agent selecting or invoking the tool.
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?
The schema is simple and an output schema exists, but the description still lacks critical context: when to use this tool, what side effects it may have, and why the annotation labels it destructive. That ambiguity is risky for an agent invocation tool.
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%, and the schema already describes the required url parameter as 'Public media URL to validate (required)'. The description itself adds no extra meaning beyond the schema, but the baseline for full schema coverage 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?
Tautological: description restates name/title.
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?
No usage context or exclusions are provided. The description gives an agent no reason to choose this over the validation-related sibling tools, so the only signal is the tool's name itself.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
