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

With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden. It usefully discloses duration, probe frequency, host capacity, a shared secret token, alerts, badges, and consolidated presentation and billing, but leaves invocation side effects, possible payment commitment, token handling, and result delivery unclear.

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 compact sentences front-load the duration, cadence, and capacity before describing alerts and badges. The parenthetical audience list and phrases such as "one page, one bill" are somewhat dense and promotional, but still convey relevant scope.

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 core service offering is understandable, but the empty schema, absent output schema, and lack of annotations leave important operational questions unanswered. In particular, the description does not explain the exact invocation action, billing consequences, host and token setup, or what the caller receives, and its comparison to an undefined "single tier" is not fully standalone.

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?

There are no input parameters, so the baseline is 4. The host cap and shared token add useful conceptual context, although the description does not explain how the hosts are subsequently enrolled or configured.

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 conveys multi-host integrity monitoring: daily re-probing for 30 days, drift alerts, and live badges for up to ten hosts. It contrasts with a "single tier," but does not name akari_integrity_watch or clarify whether invoking this tool starts, purchases, or reports on a watch.

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 ten-host capacity and examples such as agencies and multi-subdomain platforms establish a clear multi-host use case, while "single tier" implies a lower-capacity alternative. It does not explicitly route single-host users to akari_integrity_watch or explain what to do when more than ten hosts need coverage.

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