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?

All 12 parameters have schema descriptions (100% coverage), but the description adds significant extra meaning beyond the schema. For example, it explains query normalization (lowercase, suffix stripping), Cyrillic handling, auto-detection of script, the difference between search modes, the semantics of matchRank, and the use of industryCodes. This substantially aids agent understanding.

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?

The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Search for companies by name or registration number.' It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like browse_companies (for filtering by industry) and get_company (for full details after finding a company). The verb 'search' combined with specific resources and context makes the purpose unambiguous.

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?

Explicit guidance: 'Use this first to find a company and its ref, then pass that ref to get_company for full details.' It also tells when to use browse_companies instead: 'To browse companies by industry, officer count, or other structured filters without a name query, use browse_companies instead.' Additionally, it warns that query does not filter by SIC code, directing users to browse_companies for industry filtering.

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

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true. The description adds behavioral details: fuzzy-matching, similarity ranking, one record per disqualification entry, UK registry source, and data-only treatment. No contradictions.

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?

Description is concise (4 sentences), front-loaded with purpose, and each sentence adds value. No redundancy or unnecessary text.

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 search tool with no output schema, the description explains result structure (one record per disqualification entry, ranked results), links to related tools, and notes data source. Completes the picture well.

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 schema already documents parameters. The description adds context for date filters (ISO 8601 example) and explains limit default, but doesn't significantly extend meaning beyond schema.

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?

The description states it searches for disqualified directors by name, for KYB name checks, with fuzzy matching. This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like browse_disqualified_directors (which likely lists all).

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?

Explicitly says 'Use for KYB name checks' and explains how to use returned 'ref' with get_person. It doesn't explicitly state when not to use, but context is clear. Could mention alternatives like browse_disqualified_directors for unfiltered lists.

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

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

Annotations declare readOnlyHint and idempotentHint. Description adds fuzzy search, automatic clustering with nameVariants, jurisdiction filter limitation, and security note about external data. No contradiction.

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?

Well-structured: starts with core purpose, then details, then limitations and security note. No unnecessary sentences.

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?

Despite no output schema, description explains aggregated results, clustering, and nameVariants. Covers all parameters and includes important usage caveats.

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% but description adds crucial context: roles default, activeOnly default true, yearOfBirth matching differences by role, jurisdiction filter scope. Significant added value.

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?

The description clearly states it is a unified fuzzy search across all role types (officer, owner, disqualified), differentiating from sibling tools like list_disqualified_directors.

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?

Explicitly requires a name query, explains use of 'ref' for get_person, and directs users to list_disqualified_directors for browsing without a name or by date range.

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