Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The readOnlyHint and destructiveHint annotations already communicate that this is a read-only, non-destructive operation. The description adds no side effects, error behaviors, or special runtime behavior, so it is neutral but not contradictory.
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 very short and has no fluff, making it easy to scan. It loses a point because the wording is vague and 'realtime context package' is not a precise term, but it is concise.
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 no output schema, the description should at least explain what the context package contains, how current it is, or what happens for an unknown entity. None of that is present, so an agent cannot predict the tool's output or failure modes.
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 only parameter, entity, is fully described in the schema with examples and constraints. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, so with 100% schema coverage the baseline score applies.
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 'Realtime context package for one entity' is a noun phrase and does not clearly state what the tool does or what it returns. It identifies the entity parameter but not the nature of the context package, and it does not distinguish this retrieval from sibling tools like retrieve_development or search_events.
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 guidance on when to use this tool versus the many related sibling tools. It does not mention that this is for a single entity by exact name, or when to choose search_developments, retrieve_development, or market_signal instead.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
