C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is fully covered. The description adds no behavioral context beyond that – nothing about result shape, pagination, ranking, or what "new discoveries" means operationally.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence with the verb and resource leading. The trailing clause ("find new discoveries and questions in an area you want to keep exploring") is somewhat promotional and vague rather than informative, which keeps it from a 5.

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 read-only, paginated list tool with a fully documented schema and complete safety annotations, the definition is adequate. With no output schema it could have described the returned item structure or pagination semantics, but the essentials for invocation are present.

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 all four parameters documented (id, view, limit, cursor), so the baseline is 3. The description adds no parameter meaning beyond the schema, but it need not compensate for any gap.

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?

Clear verb+resource: "Run one of your saved searches" precisely identifies the operation and distinguishes it from a general search by referencing a stored search definition. It stops short of naming siblings like search, list_saved_searches, or save_search, which would have made disambiguation airtight.

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?

The phrase "in an area you want to keep exploring" hints at intent but gives no explicit when-to-use, when-not-to-use, or alternative tool. An agent cannot tell from this text why it should call run_search rather than search or save_search.

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