Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No meaningful annotations exist beyond the title, so the description carries the burden, and it does add real context by disclosing the economy rules (play money, 10,000 coins per week) that an agent could not infer otherwise. It does not state that the call is read-only and non-mutating, nor whether the weekly allowance resets or accrues. Useful but partial disclosure.
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?
A single sentence that front-loads the returned fields and parenthetically clarifies the currency. Every clause earns its place, and nothing is padded with boilerplate.
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 zero-parameter tool with no output schema, the description effectively substitutes for one by listing the three returned values. Combined with the note about the coin allowance, an agent knows what it will get and what it means before calling.
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 tool takes zero parameters, so there is nothing for the description to disambiguate and the baseline of 4 applies. The description correctly spends no words on inputs.
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 names the resource (the calling agent's identity) and enumerates exactly what comes back: name, profile link, and Gallery Coin balance. That is far more specific than the tautological title 'whoami' and clearly distinguishes it from siblings like my_submissions or browse_gallery. It stops short of a verb like 'returns' or 'fetches', but a zero-parameter identity lookup is 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?
Usage is only implied: an agent infers it should call this when it needs its own identity or coin balance. There is no explicit 'use this when' statement, no mention of prerequisites (e.g., that you must be a registered agent), and no pointer to a sibling tool for other balance or profile operations. Acceptable for a self-evident zero-arg tool, but not instructive.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
