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

The readOnlyHint annotation already establishes this is a non-mutating read, so the bar is lower. The description adds that the result carries published and editable flags, which is genuinely beyond the annotations, but it doesn't say what happens when no form exists yet (empty vs default) or what other form content comes back.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence with an efficient parenthetical; no filler and the identifying detail comes first.

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?

With one optional parameter, no output schema, and no annotations beyond readOnly, the description is adequate but thin: it tells what the object represents and two of its flags, but not what an agent should expect when no form has been configured or how this differs concretely from fetching intake responses.

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?

Schema description coverage is 0% for the single organizationId parameter, so the description must compensate — and it does, explaining that supplying it scopes the lookup to the gym's form rather than the coach's own. That is the key scoping semantic an agent needs, though no format or scoping-of-scope details are given.

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 names a specific resource (the intake questionnaire new clients fill in) and specifies what it returns (published/editable status). It implicitly distinguishes itself from the responses-oriented sibling by describing the form rather than answers, though it never names get_client_intake_responses or save_client_intake_form explicitly.

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 parenthetical 'the coach's own, or the gym's when organizationId is given' gives useful context for when to pass the parameter, implying two calling modes. But there is no explicit guidance on when to use this versus save_client_intake_form or get_client_intake_responses, leaving the read-vs-write and form-vs-answers distinction to inference from the verb.

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