No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden. It implies a read-only query for an authenticated account but does not explicitly state that it is non-destructive, nor does it describe permissions, rate limits, or return behavior.
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 a single concise sentence with the core purpose front-loaded and no wasted words.
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 simple one-parameter read query with full schema coverage, the description provides enough context to invoke the tool correctly. The lack of output schema means return values are not described, but the operation itself is clear.
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%, and the single user_id parameter is documented as 'User identifier' in the schema. The description adds that the account must be authenticated, which gives slight additional semantic context, but the baseline of 3 is appropriate when the schema already covers the parameter.
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 uses a specific verb (Query) and resource (available high-definition download credits), making the fundamental operation clear. It does not explicitly differentiate itself from sibling tools like get_pricing_and_credit_packs, though the distinct resource implies the difference.
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?
The description offers no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as get_pricing_and_credit_packs or create_photo_job. It states it is for an authenticated account, but provides no exclusions or selection criteria.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
