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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It states the tool performs analysis but does not disclose whether it is read-only, whether side effects exist, or what data sources it uses. This lack of behavioral detail is insufficient for an agent to understand the tool's safety and operational profile.

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?

The description is extremely concise, using only nine words and avoiding any fluff. It effectively communicates the core purpose, though it is a fragment rather than a full sentence, and the MiCA Art. 45 reference may be cryptic for some agents.

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 or annotations, the description leaves significant gaps. It does not explain what the analysis returns, how to interpret results, or what 'exit channel analysis' entails. This is insufficient for an agent to confidently invoke the tool and understand the outcome.

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?

The single 'protocol' parameter is fully documented in the input schema with 100% coverage. The tool description adds no additional meaning about how the parameter is used or what values are expected, so the baseline score of 3 for high schema coverage 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?

The description clearly states the tool provides DEX liquidity depth and exit channel analysis, referencing MiCA Art. 45 for regulatory context. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like peg_history or reserve_quality, though it lacks a full verb construction and does not explicitly name alternatives.

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?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus the many sibling tools. The MiCA Art. 45 reference hints at regulatory compliance use cases, but it is too implicit to give an agent clear direction on when to select this tool.

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