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

Annotations already declare this read-only, idempotent, non-destructive, and closed-world, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds genuinely new behavioral context beyond them: the form has an asynchronous readiness state and only returns fields once ready, and the result includes a fillable-PDF download link.

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, zero filler. The core purpose and the readiness caveat are front-loaded, and the return contents follow immediately.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be explained, yet the description still summarizes them usefully. It discloses the not-yet-ready state but says nothing about what status values to expect or how to proceed while waiting, which is the main remaining gap for a status-style call.

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 is one parameter with 0% schema description coverage, so the schema provides no meaning for form_id. The description only implies 'one form' by id and adds no format, sourcing, or lookup guidance; the UUID example lives in the schema, not the description. Adequate for a single obvious identifier but it does not compensate for the coverage gap.

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 the resource ('one form') and specifies what comes back (every field plus a fillable-PDF download link), so the agent knows this is single-form retrieval with field detail. It does not differentiate itself from near-siblings such as find_form, read_form, or prepare_form, so it falls short of a 5.

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?

Usage is only implied: 'Status of one form' and 'When ready' suggest a poll-until-ready workflow for a form already identified by id. There is no explicit statement of when to choose this over find_form, list_forms, or read_form, and no exclusions given.

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