B3.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden and it does disclose meaningful behavior: the 2-credit cost, that empty results and failures are never charged, and the fresh-vs-cached fetching default. This billing/error semantics detail is genuinely useful. It omits auth requirements and any rate-limit behavior beyond per-call credits.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loads what the tool returns, which is good, but 'Flat 2 credits. Costs 2 credits.' is a redundant repetition that wastes a sentence, and the description is a run-on of cost and cache facts rather than tight prose.

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?

For a two-parameter tool with no output schema and no annotations, the description compensates well by enumerating returned fields and stating the billing/cache model. It is largely complete, though auth context and error handling beyond billing are unaddressed.

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 schema already fully documents both url and cache. The description's cache note is essentially redundant with the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate since the description adds no syntax or semantics beyond what the schema provides.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific resource (LinkedIn company page) and enumerates the returned fields (specialties, similarPages, employeeCount, founded, slogan, cover), so the agent knows exactly what it retrieves. It does not explicitly contrast with siblings like linkedin_company_posts or linkedin_profile, but the resource focus makes it distinguishable.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

There is no explicit when-to-use, when-not-to-use, or alternative routing. The only guidance concerns the cache parameter, not tool selection, so an agent gets no help choosing between this and linkedin_company_posts or linkedin_profile.

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