Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It discloses that the tool returns matching binaries with specific fields (name, description, check count, severity breakdown), which is useful. However, it does not mention potential limitations like pagination, empty results, or any permissions required.
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 two sentences, front-loaded with the tool's purpose followed by the return format. Every word earns its place, with no redundancy or irrelevant detail.
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 single-parameter search tool with no output schema, the description is complete: it states what the tool does, what it returns, and the schema covers the input. Since there is no output schema, the return description is necessary and provided.
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 input schema has 100% coverage with a description of the 'query' parameter including examples. The tool description adds the phrase 'by capability', which clarifies the meaning of the query parameter, but this is only a minor addition over the schema.
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 ('Find') and resource ('Kloudle cloud security scanners') with the search criterion 'by capability'. This clearly differentiates it from the sibling tool 'get', which presumably retrieves a specific item.
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 clearly states the tool is for finding scanners by capability, which gives context for when to use it. It does not explicitly mention alternatives or exclusions, but the context is clear enough to imply the appropriate use case.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Add one secure layer between your agents and this server.
The two tools, 'get' and 'search', serve clearly distinct purposes: 'search' finds scanners by capability, while 'get' retrieves detailed metadata for a specific scanner. There is no functional overlap or ambiguity between them.
Both tool names are single-word imperative verbs ('get', 'search'), following a consistent and predictable naming style. The pattern is simple and easy for an agent to recognize.
With only two tools, the server feels thin for a 'Cloud Security Scanner' platform, but the scope is narrowly focused on binary discovery and retrieval. It is borderline, not excessive, and could benefit from additional tools for broader scanner management.
The tool set covers the core workflow: 'search' for discovery and 'get' for obtaining full metadata, hashes, download URLs, and ready-to-run commands. There are no obvious dead ends or missing operations for the stated purpose of accessing Kloudle scanner binaries.
