B3.1/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare read-only, idempotent, non-destructive, and closed-world behavior, so the description does not need to restate safety. The description adds a useful commercial boundary, namely that it does not produce binding scope, quotes, or pricing, and names output categories. It still lacks detail on matching behavior, scoring, rate limits, or result shape.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

It uses two short, front-loaded sentences with no filler. The unexplained 'PTL' acronym and compressed list syntax keep it from being fully clean, but the structure is efficient.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Annotations cover the safety profile, and the description names the kinds of output the agent can expect. But with no output schema and no parameter guidance, the agent still lacks enough information to know what to put in 'problem' or how results are structured. It is partially complete.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters1/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The single required 'problem' parameter has 0% schema description coverage, and the description never mentions the parameter, its expected granularity, format, examples, or constraints. The description does not compensate for the schema gap.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a specific find action and enumerates the artifacts returned: PTL service and case-study evidence, discovery questions, and contact route. It is fairly clear, but it never explicitly says it maps an input problem to a service, and the acronym 'PTL' is unexplained. Sibling differentiation is absent.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The clause 'No binding scope, quote or pricing' implies early-stage discovery use and explicitly excludes commercial deliverables. However, it gives no explicit when-to-use guidance versus siblings such as search, fetch, or assess_job_fit, and no prerequisites or exclusions beyond the commercial boundary.

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