Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must cover behavioral traits. It discloses what output is shown (companies count, ratings, etc.), but does not mention any side effects, cost, rate limits, or return format details. Lacks explicit safety info but is adequate for a read-like query.
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?
Two sentences, no unnecessary words. The first sentence states the core purpose, the second lists outputs. Efficient and well-structured.
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?
Given the tool has two parameters, an output schema, and several siblings, the description is incomplete: it misses the category parameter and lacks guidance on when to use. It covers the basics but leaves 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 coverage is 0%, so description must compensate. It explains the 'regions' parameter as comma-separated names, but completely omits the 'category' parameter (default ''). One of two parameters is undocumented, leaving ambiguity.
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 it compares construction markets across regions and lists the specific data shown (companies count, ratings, prices, contact availability). It effectively distinguishes from siblings like price_comparison or compare_companies.
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?
It instructs to provide comma-separated region names, but does not explain when to use this tool versus siblings such as get_regions, price_comparison, or compare_companies. No exclusions or alternatives are mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Add one secure layer between your agents and this server.
Multiple tools have overlapping purposes: search_companies, find_best_companies, smart_match, and contractor_recommendation all find contractors; get_company, company_portfolio, and company_deep_profile all return company details; calculate_cost and project_estimator both estimate costs. This makes it difficult for an agent to reliably choose the correct tool.
Tool names mix verb-first patterns (get_*, search_*, compare_*, calculate_*, export_*, find_*, request_*) with noun-first patterns (company_deep_profile, market_report, price_comparison, etc.). All names use snake_case, but the inconsistent verb/noun placement makes the set less predictable.
24 tools falls squarely in the 16-25 'feel heavy' range. While the server covers a broad domain (companies, projects, analytics, leads, estimation), the presence of many overlapping tools suggests the count could be consolidated without losing functionality.
The toolset covers the core domain well: searching companies and projects, retrieving full details, comparing entities, estimating costs, obtaining market analytics, and managing the lead lifecycle (request_quote -> get_lead_status). Minor gaps exist (e.g., no detailed per-review text, but that is explicitly stated as unavailable), but there are no dead ends for typical workflows.
