Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds one useful behavioral fact — that the target is resolved from the caller's authentication rather than a parameter — but says nothing about auth requirements, failure modes, or the shape of the returned profile.
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 clause with zero filler, sized appropriately for a zero-argument read tool. Nothing is buried or redundant.
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 trivial zero-param read with annotations covering safety, this is close to sufficient, but with no output schema the description could have indicated what the profile includes (identity, wallet, program membership) so the agent knows whether calling it will answer its question.
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 is no parameter semantics to explain; the baseline of 4 applies. The description correctly implies no input is needed because identity comes from the session.
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?
States a specific verb and resource: 'Get... profile', with the qualifier 'authenticated agent's' narrowing scope to the caller. No sibling tool in the list deals with profiles, so no additional differentiation is needed, but it stops short of describing what the profile contains.
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 description gives no when-to-use context, prerequisites, or mention of alternatives. An agent must infer from the name alone that this is the way to retrieve its own identity/account details rather than another agent's.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
