A3.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already establish readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description still adds genuine context beyond them: the Beta status and the explicit "Free of charge" cost disclosure, which matters for a metered API. It does not, however, mention authorization or rate-limit behavior.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Two sentences, front-loaded with the Beta caveat and the scope, followed by a compact enumeration of returned data. Every element earns its place, though the field list is dense and the untranslated "KI-Bewertung" costs some readability.

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?

With read-only annotations, a full output schema, and a single required parameter, the burden on the description is low, and it still covers the Beta limitation and the free-of-charge cost. For a simple getter this is essentially complete; only explicit sibling routing is absent.

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?

There is a single parameter with 100% schema description coverage, and the schema already documents the id and even points to ragfeed_monitor_list and ragfeed_monitor_create as sources. The description adds no format or constraint detail beyond that, so the baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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 states a specific verb and resource ("Show one monitor") and enumerates exactly what is returned: schedule, next/last check, goal, recipients, webhook, credits per check, latest checks. It implicitly separates itself from the list/checks siblings by the singular scope, though it never names an alternative explicitly. The mixed-language term "KI-Bewertung" slightly muddies an otherwise precise purpose statement.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

There is no explicit when-to-use or alternative selection guidance; the agent must infer that this is the single-monitor counterpart to ragfeed_monitor_list and ragfeed_monitor_checks. The closing "Free of charge" is a useful usage signal because sibling tools like ragfeed_monitor_estimate and ragfeed_monitor_run likely consume credits, but this is only an implied rule.

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