B3.3/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, idempotentHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safety and repeatability profile is covered. The description adds one genuine behavioral constraint (the credential must be multi-value), but says nothing about what happens to the previously-default entry or about personal vs team scope effects.

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?

A single short sentence that front-loads the action and the object. Nothing is padded and nothing extraneous is included.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a 3-parameter mutation with no output schema and full schema coverage, the definition is minimally sufficient. It is missing any note on whether the prior default is replaced or how the result is confirmed, which would matter in a multi-credential workflow.

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%, with examples and the personal/team context documented in the schema itself. The description adds no syntax, format, or edge-case meaning beyond what the schema already provides, so the baseline of 3 applies.

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?

The description names a specific verb ('Set') and resource ('default value for a multi-value credential'), and the qualifier 'multi-value' narrows scope usefully. It does not, however, distinguish itself from siblings like credential_save or credential_list, which an agent must infer on its own.

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 statement of when to use this versus credential_save or credential_delete, and no prerequisites beyond the implicit 'credential must be multi-value'. The agent gets a purpose but no routing guidance among the many credential_* siblings.

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