A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is fully covered. The description adds only that the listing is complete when no filter is applied; it says nothing about return shape, ordering, or result size, which would be genuinely additive.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

A single sentence that front-loads the action and resource and appends the one meaningful modifier. There is no filler and nothing an agent must read past to find the core behavior.

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?

For a parameterless-by-default list tool with rich annotations and a fully documented single parameter, the description is sufficient to call it correctly. The only minor gap is that no output schema exists and the description does not characterize what a result entry looks like or how many to expect.

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%, including a full enumeration of valid category values, so the schema already does the heavy lifting. The description's 'optionally filtered by category' merely restates that the parameter is optional, adding no syntax or format detail beyond the schema.

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?

States a specific verb+resource ('List all available amCharts 5 code examples') plus a scope modifier ('optionally filtered by category'). It implicitly distinguishes itself from get_example (singular retrieval) through the word 'all', though it never names the sibling explicitly.

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?

Usage is implied: this is the discovery step before get_example, and the category filter is described as optional. But there is no explicit 'use this when...' or 'use get_example instead when you already know the example id', leaving the agent to infer the browse-vs-fetch split.

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