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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile needs no restating. The description usefully explains what 'compromised' means by unpacking the three subcategories, which is real conceptual context. However, it says nothing about ordering, grouping, or result shape.

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?

Two compact sentences with no filler, and the defining constraint (cannot be reliably self-diagnosed) is front-loaded. The 'Transparency:' lead-in is slightly opaque jargon but costs little.

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 parameterless listing tool with no output schema, the description supplies adequate conceptual context about what gets returned. The main remaining gap is that the agent learns nothing about the result structure, but the domain framing largely compensates.

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 tool takes zero parameters, so there are no parameter semantics to document; baseline is 4. The description correctly avoids inventing filter syntax that the schema does not support (additionalProperties: false).

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 states a recognizable resource: dysfunctions that cannot be reliably self-diagnosed, broken into three named subcategories (motivational, structural, legacy). This is specific enough to distinguish it as a curated subset rather than the full catalog, though it never explicitly contrasts itself with sibling list_dysfunctions.

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?

There is no statement of when to call this versus list_dysfunctions or get_dysfunction, and no prerequisites or context for use. The agent must infer usage purely from the name and the taxonomy.

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