B3.4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden. It adds real domain context (fields marked basis=year_to_date reset each January; metric_series can de-cumulate them), which is useful. But it says nothing about read-only status, result limits/pagination, or permissions that a metadata tool should disclose, and the bulk of the text is domain content rather than tool behavior.

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

Conciseness2/5

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

It is front-loaded well, but the body is an enormous enumeration of roughly seventy computed metrics, many truncated with ellipses, which dwarfs the actionable guidance and makes the definition hard to scan. Much of this belongs in an output schema or reference resource rather than the description.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be explained, and the description supplies the relevant domain context an agent needs to interpret fields and filters. It is largely complete for a discovery tool, missing only pagination/limit behavior and an explicit read-only statement.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must carry parameter meaning, and it does for two of three: 'table' receives concrete allowed values with interpretation ('metrics' = computed ratios, 'fact_call_report_curated' = reported amounts, 'dim_credit_union' = attributes) and 'search' is described as search text. The 'limit' parameter is never explained, keeping it short of a 5.

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?

The opening sentence gives a specific verb and resource ('List available fields with plain-language definitions from the data dictionary'), and the table filter values clarify the scope of what can be listed. It partially differentiates from siblings by pointing at metric_series, but does not clearly separate itself from query_metrics or metric_series as the discovery step.

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?

The description explains how to filter (by table, by search text, or both) and hints at a downstream relationship ('metric_series can de-cumulate them'), which implies usage. However, it never states when an agent should call list_fields versus query_metrics or metric_series directly, so usage is left to inference.

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