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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It usefully discloses that the result is a published snapshot, includes failures, and does not trigger execution, but omits auth needs, freshness, pagination, and error behavior for a data retrieval tool.

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 short sentences, front-loaded with the core purpose; the second sentence earns its place by clarifying that no execution occurs. Brevity is appropriate, though it borders on under-specification rather than being wasteful.

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 annotations, no output schema, and 0% parameter description coverage, the description is too thin for a two-parameter retrieval tool. It leaves the agent without required category semantics and without knowing what the snapshot contains or how run_id scopes it.

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% and the description never mentions either parameter. It fails to explain what category or run_id mean, whether run_id is optional, or how the two interact, adding no semantic value over the bare schema.

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?

It names a resource ('automatic attempts') and notes that failures are included, but lacks a clear retrieval verb and does not distinguish itself from siblings such as get_results or get_run. An agent can guess this is a read-only snapshot, but the exact scope remains underspecified.

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?

Only 'No execution is triggered' hints at read-only use; there is no explicit when-to-use guidance, prerequisite, or comparison to alternatives such as request_tournament or get_results. The routing decision 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.
