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

Annotations provide no safety profile (all hints false), so the description carries the full burden. It does disclose cost ($0.50/call), compliance constraints, and the JSON result shape, which is useful. But it does not state whether the call has side effects, requires auth, or has rate limits, leaving mutability ambiguous.

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 short sentences: purpose, output, compliance/cost. No filler, and the most important information is front-loaded. Every sentence earns its place.

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?

The description covers purpose, output, compliance, and cost, and an output schema exists to describe return values. However, for an 8-parameter tool with nested objects, it omits when-to-use guidance and side-effect clarity, making it adequate but not strong.

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 the schema already documents all 8 parameters. The description adds no parameter-specific guidance beyond what the schema provides, so the baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 clearly states the tool verifies pre-deployment agent behavior against a Worker Remit and returns JSON maturity, gaps, and recommendations. It identifies a unique purpose (ABV, Worker Remit) that distinguishes it from sibling verify/get tools, but it never explicitly names a sibling or contrast, so it does not fully meet the 5 criterion.

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 'pre-deployment' qualifier gives clear context for when this assessment is appropriate, and the output/cost/compliance notes reinforce its evaluation role. However, no explicit when-not-to-use guidance or alternative tool names are provided, so it falls short of a 5.

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