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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint and non-destructive, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds genuinely new behavioral context: a rate limit with cost (10 calls/day free, then $0.002 via HTTP endpoint or X-API-Key credits) and the fact that risk warnings such as 1-of-n thresholds and enabled modules are surfaced. It does not describe failure behavior for non-Safe or non-existent addresses, which keeps it below a 5.

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 core purpose is front-loaded in a short question, followed by a compact return-field list and a single pricing clause. Dense but purposeful; only the pricing clause could arguably be moved to a trailing note, and nothing is repetitive.

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?

With an output schema present, the description need not enumerate return values, and it still helpfully summarizes them; annotations and 100% schema coverage handle the rest. The main omission relative to a paid, quota-limited inspector is what happens on non-Safe addresses or bad chains, which an agent would want to know before spending a call.

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%, with the chain enum values listed in the schema and the address example provided, so the description carries no additional parameter burden. Its mention of the address is only implicit in the opening question, adding no syntax or format detail beyond the schema — baseline 3.

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?

Opens with a direct question form ("Is this address a Safe multisig?") and then enumerates exactly what is returned: owners, m-of-n threshold, nonce, version, modules, guard, fallback handler, and risk warnings. The 'Safe multisig' scope is distinct from near neighbors like address_profile, contract_read, and token_safety_check, so an agent can pick it without inspecting schemas.

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 implied by the question framing (use it to determine whether an address is a Safe and to inspect its configuration), and the free-tier/quota note gives a practical gating condition. However, no explicit when-to-use versus when-not guidance is given, and no alternative sibling (e.g., address_profile for general address context, contract_read for arbitrary contract state) is named.

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