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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the description need not repeat safety. It adds meaningful context about app contents (repo URL, demo URL, categories/tags) but does not disclose any deeper behavior such as pagination limits or response shape, which are left to the schema.

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?

Three informative sentences with no wasted words. The core action and resource are front-loaded, followed by concrete use cases and filtering capabilities. Every sentence contributes to the agent's understanding.

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 read-only list tool with all parameters self-documented in the schema and annotations covering safety, the description is complete. No output schema exists, so explaining the return format is not required, and the description gives enough context for reliable invocation.

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%, so the baseline is 3. The description only restates that filtering by category or tag is possible; it does not add meaning beyond the schema's own parameter descriptions. This is acceptable but not a value-add.

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 and resource ('List approved apps built on the Remoet platform') and clarifies what these apps are and what they do. This clearly distinguishes get_apps from the job/listing/linktree siblings by focusing on curated Remoet platform extensions.

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?

Provides a clear intended usage scenario: 'Use this to help users discover tools that complement their Remoet workflow' with concrete examples. It does not explicitly name alternatives or state when not to use this tool, but the context is strong enough for an agent to route correctly.

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