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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden. It helpfully discloses the return payload (win status, prize tier, amount, redemption window), which is real behavioral value. It says nothing about data source, freshness/latest-period behavior, or any lookup limits, so the disclosure is partial.

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 a bracketed category tag; the input requirement and output content follow immediately. Nothing is wasted, though the tag prefix adds only marginal value.

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 no output schema, the description correctly enumerates what is returned, and the two-parameter input is fully covered by the schema. For a simple read-only lookup this is nearly complete; only freshness/source and any caveats about non-winning or invalid numbers are missing.

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 both parameters are already documented (number = 8-digit invoice number, period defaults to latest). The description restates the 8-digit constraint but adds no syntax, format, or period-handling detail beyond the schema, so 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 concrete verb (對獎/check) and resource (統一發票), plus the expected input and the returned fields (中獎與否、獎別、獎金、領獎期間). However, it does not explicitly distinguish itself from close siblings such as life__get_invoice_numbers or life__check_lottery, so it stops short of the top band.

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: use it when you have an 8-digit invoice number and want to know if it won. There is no explicit when-not guidance and no named alternative (e.g. life__check_lottery or life__get_lottery_results), leaving the agent to infer routing.

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