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

With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden and does meaningful work: it discloses the return payload fields (name, description, address, phone, hours, photos, booking links) and, importantly, the quality filter applied (publicly active, real name, 50+ char description). It omits auth requirements, rate limits, and pagination/ordering behavior, which is the remaining gap.

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?

Three tight sentences, front-loaded with purpose, then return shape, then filtering rules. The field enumeration is longer than ideal but justified because no output schema exists to carry it.

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 and no annotations, the description covers purpose, return fields, and the non-obvious quality filter, which is the most important missing context an agent would otherwise lack. It stops short of pagination semantics and any routing to list_categories, leaving minor gaps.

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 100%, so q, page, limit and category are already documented in the schema. The description restates the keyword/category axes but adds no syntax, matching rules, or default/range nuance beyond what the schema provides; baseline 3 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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Search 1-800Deals business listings') plus the two filter axes, so the agent knows exactly what the tool does. It does not name or contrast with the sibling list_categories, so differentiation is left to inference rather than stated.

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?

'by keyword and/or category' implies the two usage modes but never states when to prefer one over the other, when not to use this tool, or that list_categories should be consulted to resolve category names. Usage is implied rather than instructed.

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