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

The annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds one genuinely useful behavioral detail beyond that: the table 'may contain unverified values', which tells the agent to caveat the data. It says nothing about not-found behavior or whether unpublished IDs are rejected, so it stops at adequate.

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 sentence with the action and scope front-loaded and the data-quality caveat appended after a semicolon. Nothing is wasted, though the caveat could be phrased more sharply as a separate clause.

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 one-parameter read with full annotations and no output schema, the description covers purpose and the key data caveat. It still omits error/not-found behavior and whether the return is a single table object, which an agent would want before calling.

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 0% for the single 'id' parameter, so the description must compensate. It does clarify that the ID identifies one published price table, which is more than the bare string schema says, but it gives no format, source, or example of a valid ID, leaving the agent to guess.

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 names a specific verb and resource: 'Look up one published camping reference-price table by ID'. The resource is clearly distinct from the siblings (contact, addons, offers), so an agent can tell what it returns. It falls short of 5 only because it never explicitly contrasts itself with those siblings.

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 ID' and 'one ... table' imply the calling shape, and 'published' hints that only published tables are reachable. However, there is no explicit statement of when to use this versus the sibling list/get tools, and no guidance on what to do when an ID is unknown or the table is unpublished.

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