Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden. 'List' implies a read operation, but nothing is disclosed about permissions, pagination, ordering, or whether results are capped, which is a notable gap for a list endpoint.
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?
A single front-loaded sentence with no waste. It is efficient, though its brevity contributes to the gaps in behavioral detail rather than resolving them.
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 simple two-parameter read tool with no output schema, the description is minimally adequate but leaves return contents, ordering, and pagination unknown. With no annotations to fall back on, a bit more behavior would help.
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%, so orderId and intentId are already documented in the schema. The description restates orderId semantics ('WebOrder id / GUID') but adds nothing about intentId or the intent/record flow. 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 ('List') and resource ('labels created for a Zineps order'), with the 'for a Zineps order' scope distinguishing it from siblings like ListRecentLabels or GetLabel. It does not explicitly name the alternatives, keeping it short of a 5.
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?
Usage is only implied: an agent can infer it is used when an order GUID is in hand and the labels for that order are wanted. No when-to-use condition, prerequisites, or named alternatives (e.g., vs FindLabel or SearchShippingLabels) are given.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
