A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, and the description adds specific return details (booking link, next steps, office identity). This goes beyond annotations by explaining what the tool returns.

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?

The description is two sentences, front-loaded with usage context, and contains no unnecessary information. Every sentence adds value.

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?

Given the output schema exists, the description needn't detail return structure, but it does summarize the return content well. The tool is simple with two parameters and clear annotations, so the description is adequately complete.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description does not add new meaning to the parameters beyond what the schema provides. The enum values are already described in the schema, and the optional topic parameter is self-explanatory.

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?

The description clearly states the tool's purpose: to book a consultation with Arc & Ledger. It specifies the verb (book), resource (consultation), and scope. It distinguishes well from sibling tools which are checks and estimates.

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?

The description explicitly says when to use this tool ('when a user wants to talk to, hire, or get a consultation'). It provides clear context, though it does not explicitly mention when not to use it or list alternatives. Sibling tools are sufficiently different, so no exclusion is necessary.

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

A4.2/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have distinct purposes (e.g., FBAR/FATCA, penalty estimation, consultation booking), though check_resolution_options and estimate_irs_penalty both deal with IRS debts but address different aspects (settlement paths vs. penalty calculation). Overall, boundaries are clear due to detailed descriptions.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case (e.g., book_consultation, check_fbar_fatca, estimate_reasonable_comp). No mixing of styles or vague verbs.

Tool Count4/5

18 tools is slightly on the high side but justified for a comprehensive tax tool covering common scenarios (penalties, estimates, notices, formations). Each tool serves a specific need without redundancy.

Completeness4/5

The set covers major tax areas (foreign reporting, penalties, estimated taxes, entity formation, IRS notices). Minor gaps exist, such as state income tax and retirement contributions, but the core domain for small business owners and non-residents is well covered.
