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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, openWorldHint=false, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds the returned field inventory, but does not explain pagination behavior despite cursor/limit parameters.

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?

It is very short and has no filler, but it is a sentence fragment rather than a front-loaded statement of purpose. The terseness comes at the cost of clarity.

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 list tool, the annotations and schema cover most needs, and the description lists returned fields. However, it does not state pagination/default-limit behavior or clarify the listing versus single-record retrieval distinction, leaving an agent to infer those from the tool name and schema.

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 75%, with cursor, search, and project_id documented in the schema while limit is self-explanatory from its type/default/min/max. The description adds no parameter semantics beyond the schema.

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?

The description identifies the resource (inspections) and enumerates included fields, but it is a noun-phrase fragment without a verb such as 'list' or 'retrieve'. It does not distinguish this tool from siblings like get_inspection, create_inspection, or record_inspection_result.

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 guidance on when to use this tool instead of get_inspection, create_inspection, or other list_* tools. It provides neither usage context nor exclusions.

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