A4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations exist, so the description must carry the behavioral load. It implies a safe read ('Get') and enumerates the returned fields, but says nothing about permissions, rate limits, or what happens with an invalid or stale product_id, leaving real gaps for a no-annotation tool.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

One sentence with zero filler; the return contents and the lookup key are front-loaded, and the id source appears as a parenthetical example rather than an extra clause.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a one-parameter read tool with no output schema, naming the returned fields (price, availability, description) fills most of the gap an output schema would cover. Only error/miss behavior remains unspecified, which is minor at this complexity.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema coverage is 100% and the single parameter already documents the K382-19120 format, so the schema does the heavy lifting. The description adds the useful provenance detail that the id comes from search_products, but no additional format or validation semantics.

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

Purpose5/5

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

States a specific verb and resource ('Get ... one ProfitDeals product') plus exactly what is returned (price, availability, full description) and the key (product_id). This clearly separates it from the sibling search_products, which returns multiple products.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

It tells the agent where the product_id comes from ('from search_products'), effectively routing the agent to the lookup tool first. It stops short of stating exclusions or failure behavior for unknown ids, so it is clear context rather than a full when/when-not rule set.

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