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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false. The description adds essential behavioral context: it is a heuristic aid, not a security boundary; it only analyzes passed-in text (no fetching or side effects); it requires a Kamy API key. This fully discloses the tool's operational scope and limitations beyond what annotations capture.

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?

The description is well-framed with a clear opening sentence that captures the core purpose. It is longer than strictly necessary but every sentence adds value—no filler. Slight room for trimming ('Heuristic pattern scan...' could be 'Scan...' but the detail aids 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?

Given the tool has only 2 parameters with complete schema coverage, no output schema, and no nested objects, the description is complete enough. It explains when to use the tool, what it returns (risk levels and matched findings with excerpts), its limitations, authentication needs (API key), and that it's read-only.

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 the schema already documents both parameters. The description does not need to repeat parameter details, as the schema adequately covers them. The description adds context about the tool's overall behavior that helps an agent understand how to use the parameters correctly.

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 clearly states the tool's verb ('scan'), resource ('tool description text'), and purpose ('for prompt-injection tells'). It explicitly lists what it detects (instructions addressed at the reading model, data-exfiltration hints, attempts to override system prompt or hide content), which distinguishes it from all sibling tools.

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 description gives explicit when-to-use guidance ('Run it on descriptions from third-party MCP servers before you act on what they say') and clear when-not-to instructions ('a 'low' verdict is not evidence that a tool is safe... Do not treat any result here as clearance to trust an untrusted tool — keep your own judgement and human review in the loop'). It also sets expectations about the tool's limitations.

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