Invokely official statistics

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

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, closed-world), yet the description adds real behavioral facts: metering ('one call per 5 claims'), that unverifiable claims are not charged, field-extraction semantics ('the server does not read sentences'), and precision-band rules. It does not, however, disclose rate limits or latency beyond metering.

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?

Front-loaded with purpose, then progressively expands into extraction, precision, verdicts, and return shape — a logical order. It is long, but most sentences carry non-obvious rules (rounding bands, reading selection); some precision detail and return-field enumeration is dense enough to risk obscuring the primary call instructions.

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 output schema, the description takes on the burden of documenting the return object (results, verdict, comparison, official, reading/readings, metered_calls) and the verdict taxonomy, and it does so thoroughly. Nothing an agent needs to call and interpret this tool correctly appears to be missing.

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 baseline is 3, but the worked examples map natural-language sentences to exact field shapes (value/unit_hint split, qualifier, kind=rank), which is meaning the schema alone doesn't convey. It does repeat some schema text (number-as-written, trailing zeros), diluting the marginal value slightly.

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?

Opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Check stated figures against the official source', and bounds the scope ('one claim or a batch of up to 20'). It distinguishes itself from siblings by naming search_indicators for indicator lookup and referencing get_value place formats, so an agent can place it in the toolset without reading other schemas.

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?

Explicitly states the use case ('fact-check a draft or an article') and routes the agent to search_indicators when the indicator id is uncertain, even noting the Spanish-municipality special case. The verdict semantics (e.g., don't call a claim false when unverifiable) further constrain correct usage.

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

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive, and the description adds substantial extra behavior: what comparable=false means, that notes explain the divergence and should be surfaced to the user, how transform inputs are cited, when a value cannot be computed, and exactly how as_of changes the returned fields (version, known_since, revised_later, current).

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?

Front-loaded with the core purpose, then progressively adds edge cases. It is dense and long, with some repetition of the transform example, but nearly every sentence carries operational information an agent needs.

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?

There is no output schema, so the description carries the return-value burden and does so explicitly (indicator, period, comparable, values[], source/sources, notes). Combined with the schema's full parameter coverage, an agent has everything needed to call and interpret this tool.

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 100%, so the baseline is 3, but the description goes beyond it: it documents the return fields for as_of, gives a worked example payload for both transform and plain comparison, and states the refusal rules for rate/share/index indicators under per-capita and share transforms.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Compare one indicator across 2 to 10 places for the same period'), plus the scope constraints (shared source, mixed place levels). This clearly distinguishes it from siblings like rank_places, get_value, and get_series, which each handle a different shape of query.

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?

Gives a concrete use case ('how does X compare with Y and Z') and a routing rule between indicators for unemployment (registered_unemployment_rate is published below province level, unemployment_rate is not). It does not, however, explicitly name sibling alternatives such as rank_places or get_value and when to prefer them.

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

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds genuinely new context beyond those flags: the delivery log is deleted along with the alert (a cascade side effect not implied by destructiveHint alone), and the return payload is stated as {deleted: id}, which matters because no output schema exists.

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 with no filler: the action, the cascade consequence, and the return shape, in that order. Nothing is repeated from the title or schema and nothing is wasted.

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?

For a single-parameter destructive tool with no output schema, the description covers the action, the side effect, and the response shape — the three things an agent most needs. It stops short of mentioning authorization requirements or whether deletion is recoverable, which is a minor remaining gap.

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% and the single id parameter is documented with format, max length, and an example value. The description says only "by id," adding no syntax or sourcing detail beyond the schema, so the baseline 3 applies.

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?

"Delete one alert by id" gives a specific verb (delete), a specific resource (alert), and scope (one, by id). An agent can immediately distinguish it from update_alert, list_alerts, and subscribe_alert without opening any schema.

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 description states what it does but never says when to reach for it versus alternatives such as update_alert (modify) or list_alerts (inspect). The id's provenance is documented in the schema, not here, and no prerequisites, permission requirements, or exclusions are mentioned.

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

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive and closed-world, so the safety profile is covered. The description goes beyond them by disclosing the billing behavior (one call regardless of item count) and the mandatory source citation, which are operationally meaningful and not derivable from structured fields.

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?

Front-loaded with the core purpose and the cost/citation constraints before the return shape. The inline object notation is dense but compact, and it is justified because no output schema exists. Minor cost: the return shape occupies more than half the text.

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 output schema, the description carries the full burden of describing returns and does so precisely: field-by-field shape, the meaning of 'figure', the ranking-item edge case (top-ranked place named in detail), and the fact that topics and publishers have no figure. Nothing an agent needs to call and interpret this correctly is missing.

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% and the single 'id' parameter already documents its origin ('Collection id from list_collections'). The description adds no format, prefix, or lookup guidance beyond that, so the baseline 3 applies.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Read one collection') and immediately scopes it ('with the live figure of each item'), which cleanly separates it from list_collections (enumeration) and get_value (single figure). An agent can distinguish it from all siblings without opening a schema.

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: you call it to inspect a collection's contents, presumably after list_collections. The description adds a real constraint ('Counts as one call of the monthly allowance, however many items the collection holds') and a citation obligation, but never states when to prefer this over get_value, get_series, or list_collections.

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

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

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, closed-world), and the description adds real behavioral context beyond them: only sections with data are returned, at most 6 figures per section, one call regardless of figure count, and the semantics of change.kind values and rank counting direction. This is exactly the extra detail annotations cannot express.

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?

Front-loaded with purpose, then triggers, then alternatives, then parameter and return detail. It is long, and the change.kind/rank enumeration leans into output documentation, but with no output schema that detail is largely load-bearing rather than padding.

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?

For a 3-parameter read tool with no output schema, the description supplies the complete response shape (sections, figures, sources, notes) plus the value semantics an agent needs to cite and interpret results. Nothing an agent must know to call or report on it is missing.

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 100%, so the baseline is 3; the description goes beyond it by naming the exact section ids allowed in `sections`, stating that omitting it returns all, explaining the cap of 6 figures per section, and showing two literal example payloads. That clarifies the effect of each parameter rather than restating its type.

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?

States a specific verb+resource with scope: 'An overview of one place in a single call' with the nine figure sections enumerated. It also explicitly distinguishes itself from siblings ('For one figure use get_value; for a ranking use rank_places'), so the agent can route without opening other schemas.

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?

Gives concrete user-intent triggers ('give me an overview of Travis County', 'key statistics for Bavaria') and names the two alternatives with the condition that selects them (single figure -> get_value, ranking -> rank_places). Nothing 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.

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

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, closed-world), so the bar is lower. The description still adds real behavioral context: vintage_coverage_starts declares that revisions made before Invokely first retrieved the series are absent, known_until is null for the current version, and truncated signals truncation. It stops short of describing rate limits or auth requirements, which is a modest gap.

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?

Purpose is front-loaded, followed by usage, example, and return shape in a tight progression. The lengthy return-value paragraph is justified because there is no output schema, and each sentence carries distinct information (semantics of revisions vs status_changes vs confirmed_final).

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 output schema, the description fully documents the return object, including nested version fields, summary fields, and the caveat that a value only confirmed as final was not revised. Combined with the citation instruction and vintage coverage limit, an agent has everything needed to call and interpret results.

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 baseline is 3. The description does add interaction semantics beyond the schema - how period vs from/to select single-period versus range mode, the 60-period cap, and that summary spans the whole range - so it nudges above pure baseline, but the per-parameter details themselves are left to the 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?

States a specific verb and resource - 'List every version Invokely has kept of a figure' - and immediately scopes it to publisher revisions and status-only changes. It explicitly distinguishes itself from the nearest sibling by naming get_value with as_of for a point-in-time value.

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?

Gives concrete user intents ('how was the August CPI revised', 'has this figure changed since it was first published') and an explicit alternative with the condition that selects it (get_value with as_of). It also explains the two operating modes: pass period for one figure, otherwise from/to or nothing yields up to 60 multi-version periods.

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

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

Annotations only declare a safe read, but the description discloses far more: a 5,000-point cap with truncation semantics, paging via from/to, how gaps and gap_notes are reported, that projections are kept out of points unless include_projections is passed, and the full as_of vintage model (vintages, revised_later, vintage_coverage_starts, not_on_record). This is exactly the kind of behavior an agent cannot infer from readOnly/idempotent hints.

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?

Purpose is front-loaded and nearly every sentence carries distinct information (limits, gaps, projections, transform, as_of). It is long, but for a 12-parameter tool with no output schema the return-shape enumeration and feature notes are load-bearing rather than padding.

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 a complex tool with 12 parameters and no output schema, the description covers the return envelope (indicator, place, frequency, points, total_points, truncated, gaps, source, other_frequencies, projections) plus the paging, projection and as_of behaviors an agent must know to call it correctly. Nothing material is left to guesswork.

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 100%, so the baseline is 3 and the schema already documents each parameter. The description goes beyond per-parameter docs by explaining cross-parameter interaction ('transform works as in get_value, on every point', window usage, transform.inputs/gaps, transform not combinable with include_projections, no projections under as_of) and giving concrete example payloads.

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 opening sentence states a precise verb+resource+scope: 'Get the time series of an indicator for one place, oldest to newest, from one source so the points are comparable.' The 'one place, one source, oldest to newest' framing lets an agent distinguish this from a single-value lookup, though it never names the sibling get_value explicitly, so it stops just short of full sibling differentiation.

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 gives concrete trigger contexts ('Use it for trends: evolution of the CPI by month, population of Mataró since 2015') and states combination rules ('Not combinable with include_projections', projections never returned with as_of, pass from/to to page). It does not spell out when to prefer get_value or compare instead, so alternatives remain implicit.

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

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive, so the description is free to spend its words on behavior, which it does extensively: status semantics ('provisional', 'estimated', 'low_reliability' and the instruction to say so), NO_DATA error behavior with reasons and vintage_coverage_starts, revision handling with current{} when a figure changed, and the two-year fallback rule for computability. This is well beyond what the annotations convey.

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?

Purpose is front-loaded in sentence one and the long body is information-dense rather than padded. There is some duplication of schema-documented parameters (transform behavior, base, citation_style), and the run-on versioning paragraph could be tightened, but the volume is defensible for a 10-parameter tool with no output schema.

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 output schema, the description must carry return-value documentation and does: a full field listing, the transform/inputs additions, as_of/version/known_since/revised_later, and the status caveats. It also covers the failure modes an agent will actually hit (indicator-not-published errors that name available levels and related indicators). Nothing material is missing.

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 100%, so the baseline is 3, but the description still adds meaning: it distinguishes transform semantics (per_capita, real with base, yoy) with concrete payloads, explains as_of as a point-in-time/backtest control, and describes what citation_style does to the response ('the source block then carries citations {style: text}'). Much of this is echoed in the schema, which keeps it below a 5.

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 opening sentence states a specific verb and resource with scope: 'Get one official figure for an indicator and place: the latest by default, or a given period.' The singular 'one figure' framing implicitly separates it from series/compare/rank siblings, and the worked examples ('population of Mataró', 'inflation in Spain in 2024-09') make the intended granularity unambiguous.

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 gives concrete question patterns that should route here and prescriptive guidance such as 'pass transform instead of doing the arithmetic yourself' and 'always cite source.citation or source.url.' What it lacks is an explicit alternative: it never names get_series, compare or search_indicators as the tool to reach for when the request is multi-period or multi-place.

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

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, openWorld=false and non-destructive, so safety is covered. The description adds genuinely useful behavior: the exact response envelope and optional fields (email_mode?, webhook_url?, paused_reason?, last_delivery?), which matters because no output schema exists. It does not mention ordering or result-size behavior, keeping it short of a 5.

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?

Front-loaded with the verb and resource, and the inline return type is compact and precise. There is mild redundancy in naming the fields in prose and then again in the JSON shape, but it is short enough not to waste space.

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 parameters, no output schema, and full annotation coverage, the description supplies the missing piece — the return shape. It lacks only ordering/pagination context, which is largely moot for a zero-argument list.

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?

The tool takes zero parameters, so the 4 baseline applies; there is nothing for the description to disambiguate. The field list it provides relates to output rather than inputs, which is the right place for detail here.

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?

States a specific verb (List) and resource (the user's alerts) and enumerates the salient fields returned, including status semantics (active/paused with paused_reason). This clearly separates it from the mutating siblings subscribe_alert/update_alert/delete_alert without the agent needing to open the schemas.

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?

There is no explicit statement of when to call this versus alternatives such as check_claim or list_changes, nor any prerequisites or scope conditions. Usage is only inferable from the verb 'List'.

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

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

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive), and the description adds substantive behavior beyond them: a 35-day retention window, the 7-day default range, oldest-first ordering, and the cursor/has_more pagination contract. This is meaningful operational context the agent cannot get from the annotations.

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?

Purpose and use case are front-loaded, and the pagination workflow is clearly sequenced. The inline dump of the full return shape is dense, but since there is no output schema it largely earns its place, leaving only mild redundancy.

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 output schema, the description carries the return contract (change object fields, next_cursor, has_more) and adds retention limits, ordering, and a citation requirement. Nothing an agent needs to invoke and use the result correctly appears to be missing.

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 100%, so the schema already documents alert, limit, since, and cursor. The description reinforces the cursor workflow and gives an example, but adds little syntax or format detail beyond the schema. 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 names a specific verb+resource ('what changed in the series') and scopes it precisely to 'the series the user has alerts on' with ordering ('oldest first'). This scope cleanly separates it from siblings like get_revisions or get_series, which are not alert-scoped.

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 gives an explicit use case ('answer what changed since my last check without webhooks') and a concrete first-call protocol (no arguments = last 7 days, or pass 'since'). It does not name alternative tools (e.g. get_revisions) or state when to prefer them, so it stops 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.

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

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, non-destructive), so the bar is lower; the description still adds a genuinely non-obvious behavioral fact — that collection calls are free and do not consume the monthly allowance. It does not add anything about pagination or ordering of the returned list.

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?

Front-loaded with purpose, then usage, then return shape, then a quota caveat — each sentence carries distinct information. The dense field list is justified because there is no output schema to carry it.

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 output schema, the description takes on the full return-value burden and does so: it enumerates every field and defines the enums for visibility and role, including the parenthetical that 'public' is a read-only link. Nothing needed to call or interpret this tool correctly is missing.

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?

The tool takes zero parameters, so the baseline of 4 applies; there is nothing for the description to disambiguate. The field enumeration in the description describes the response, not inputs, so it does not raise this dimension.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('List the user's collections of saved statistics') and immediately narrows scope to 'their own and those shared with their team'. The sibling get_collection is named, so an agent can separate the listing operation from the single-collection fetch without opening either schema.

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?

Gives concrete triggering contexts: 'Use it before get_collection, or to find where to save something,' which implicitly routes the agent toward save_to_collection as the follow-up. It stops short of stating when not to use it (e.g. when an id is already known), so it is strong but not exhaustive.

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

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

Annotations already cover readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive, and the description adds substantial behavior: return shape, the guarantee that every value comes from one source and one period, order semantics, the min_population caveat about small places, and the rule that places lacking inputs are dropped and counted in notes.

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?

Front-loaded with purpose and use cases, then progressively deeper detail; information density is high and few sentences are wasted. It is long, but the length is justified by 10 parameters and the level/within grammar that needs explaining.

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?

Despite having no output schema, the description documents the response envelope, the source/period guarantee, and the notes field. Combined with 100% schema coverage, an agent has everything needed to call and interpret the tool correctly.

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 100% (baseline 3), but the description adds real semantic value the schema lacks: the interaction between level and within (US states are regions of 'United States', US cities are municipalities of a state), the rationale for min_population, and worked examples for transform and limit.

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 states a specific verb (rank) plus resource (places) and precisely scopes it: 'every place of one level inside an area by an indicator'. It enumerates the exact level/area combinations, making it clearly distinguishable from siblings like get_value or compare.

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 gives concrete triggering questions ('which state has the highest unemployment', 'top 10 countries by GDP per capita') and explains the level/within grammar needed to select the right scope. It never names an alternative sibling tool or states when-not-to-use, so it stops short of full routing guidance.

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

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

Annotations only cover the safe-read profile, but the description goes well beyond: default filtering to indicator-linked releases vs include_unlinked, the state machine (scheduled/postponed/released/figures_loading/published/cancelled), origin 'publisher_calendar' vs 'estimated' with a mandate to label estimates and cite confidence, and time_known semantics. This is unusually rich behavioral disclosure.

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?

Purpose and window are front-loaded, then examples, then filters, then return shape - a logical order. It is dense and long (~400 words), and a few clauses restate schema defaults, but nearly every sentence carries semantic or behavioral payload.

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 output schema, the description compensates fully by spelling out the response envelope, the fields of each release, the result object structure, the meaning of change units (points vs percent), the as_of caveat, and the citation requirement. Nothing needed to call or interpret the tool is missing.

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 baseline is 3, but the description adds interpretive meaning: worked example payloads per filter, the default window behavior, that place returns releases of the series available for that place, and that country only disambiguates place when combined. The remaining gap is minor syntax detail already carried by the 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?

The first sentence states a specific resource (scheduled official statistical releases from named publishers) with a concrete scope (30 days back to 90 days ahead, read daily). It is clearly distinguishable from data-retrieval siblings like get_value or get_series because it returns schedules, not figures.

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 gives explicit trigger questions ('When is the next US CPI release?', 'What does Eurostat publish this week?') and a separate mode for past results ('what did the jobs report show?' -> pass from in the past). It also names the sibling to use for post-release corrections: call get_revisions for later revisions.

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

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description goes further by disclosing ambiguity preference rules ('Barcelona' resolves to the municipality), the AMBIGUOUS_PLACE error with suggestions, and bare-name resolution behavior — genuinely useful context beyond the annotations, though return format details are only sketched via one example.

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?

Front-loads the purpose and keeps every sentence on the disambiguation/dispatch topic, but the length and the dense parenthetical examples make it heavier than needed for a three-parameter lookup. Still, no sentence is pure filler.

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?

There is no output schema, yet the description supplies an example return shape ({match, alternatives}), explains the error case, and covers naming conventions for both ES and US entities. An agent has everything needed to call and interpret this tool.

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 100%, so the baseline is 3; the description adds real interpretation rules, showing that a name can be free text, an id, or a code, and demonstrating disambiguating forms like 'Washington County, Oregon' and 'provincia de Barcelona'. The `level` and `country` parameters are left entirely to the schema, keeping it short of a 5.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('turn a place name into the normalized entity') and enumerates the value returned (official codes INE, Idescat, NUTS, ISO, US FIPS, plus parent). This clearly separates it from get_place_profile, which returns profile data rather than identifier resolution.

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?

Explicitly states when to use it ('when a name is ambiguous or you want to confirm which entity a number refers to') and when not to bother ('the other tools accept names directly, so this call is optional'). It also routes the agent to disambiguation syntax when a bare name is insufficient.

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

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

Goes well beyond the annotations by disclosing the default destination ('Saved'), the de-duplication behavior (re-saving keeps one item and updates its note), the 100-item collection cap, and cost ('Free on every plan'). This corroborates idempotentHint/destructiveHint with concrete operational detail an agent could not infer.

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?

Front-loads the action and trigger, then organizes the remainder under 'What to save', examples, and return shape with no filler. It is dense but each element (combination rules, examples, limits) carries information useful for correct invocation.

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 8 all-optional parameters and no output schema, the description supplies exactly what is missing: kind inference rules, valid input combinations, default collection, the return shape, and the 100-item limit. Nothing needed to invoke it correctly is absent.

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 already 100%, but the description adds real meaning the schema cannot: the valid combinations (indicator+place=value, indicator+scope=ranking, indicator alone, place alone, topic, publisher) and that 'kind is inferred when left out', plus additional scope values beyond the single schema example.

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?

States a specific verb+resource ('Save a statistic page to one of the user's collections') and scopes it with a clear trigger condition. It is unambiguously distinguishable from siblings like list_collections and get_collection, which read collections rather than add items.

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?

Gives a clear situational trigger ('when they ask to keep, bookmark or save it') and states the default behavior when no collection is supplied. It does not explicitly say when NOT to use it or name an alternative tool, so it stops short of a full 5.

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

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

Annotations cover the safety profile (readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, closed world), so the description only needs to add operational context — and it does: it documents the geographic/topic coverage, the filtering behavior ('only indicators with data for that place are listed'), the fallback channel not_available_for_place, and advises reading note for common confusions. No rate limits or auth details, but this is a public read search.

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?

Front-loaded with purpose and the when-to-use rule before the dense coverage and topic enumerations. The coverage/topic lists are long but earn their space by letting an agent decide whether the dataset even covers the question; a few lines could still be tightened.

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?

Even without an output schema, the description spells out the return shape ({indicators: [{id, name, unit, frequencies, levels, definition, note?}], place?, not_available_for_place?}), the domain coverage, and the semantics of the not_available_for_place fallback — enough for an agent to call and interpret correctly.

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 100%, so the baseline is 3; the description goes beyond it by giving a concrete bilingual call example ({'query': 'tasa de paro', 'geography': 'Mataró'}) and explaining the side effect of supplying geography (matches elsewhere are surfaced in not_available_for_place).

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?

Specific verb+resource ('Find official statistical indicators') plus a distinguishing scope: natural-language lookup rather than id-based retrieval. The sentence 'Use this first when you do not know the exact indicator id' cleanly separates it from sibling id/value tools like get_series and get_value.

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?

Explicit trigger condition ('Use this first when you do not know the exact indicator id') and explicit conditional guidance for the geography parameter ('Pass geography when the question is about a specific place'). The alternative (id-based lookup) is implied rather than named, so it falls just short of the top band.

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

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

Annotations only flag this as a non-read-only, non-idempotent write; the description adds substantial context beyond them: free on every plan, no account needed, does not consume the monthly allowance, rate limits (10/hour per account, 5 without), the return shape, and a privacy caveat ('Do not include personal data beyond what the user asks you to pass on'). This is rich operational detail an agent cannot get from structured fields.

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?

Front-loaded with purpose, then usage, then examples, then limits/return. Every sentence carries load, but the two full JSON examples and the inline rate-limit sentence make it longer than strictly necessary; a tighter phrasing would preserve the same routing value.

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?

There is no output schema, yet the description states the return value ('{feedback: {id, kind, status, created_at}, note}'), covers the write semantics, rate limits, and account requirements. Nothing an agent needs to invoke this correctly is missing.

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 100%, so the baseline is 3, but the description goes beyond it by demonstrating how refs fields pair with each kind (indicator/place/period/url for a data_error; place/source for a data_request) through two worked examples. This adds practical mapping guidance the schema enumerations alone do not convey, though it stops short of full per-parameter explanation.

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 opening sentence states a specific verb and resource ('Send a message to the Invokely team') and the rest enumerates the exact scenarios (missing statistic, wrong value, suggestion, bug) that distinguish this tool from all read/lookup siblings. An agent can tell instantly this is the feedback channel, not a data-retrieval tool.

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?

Explicit when-to-use is given per kind: 'call it when the user asks for a statistic... Invokely does not have,' 'when a value looks wrong,' 'wants to suggest something,' 'reports a problem with Invokely itself.' The description also instructs the follow-up action ('then tell the user it was sent'), leaving nothing to inference.

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

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

Annotations only cover safety hints (readOnly=false, idempotent=false, destructive=false); the description adds substantial behavioral context beyond them: webhook secret is shown once and must be stored, webhook signing via Standard Webhooks headers, email instant-vs-daily semantics, and plan quotas (Free 5 / Builder 50 / Pro 500) with the note that alert calls don't consume the monthly allowance.

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?

Purpose is front-loaded and the Target/Channels/Examples/Returns structure is easy to scan. It is dense and runs long for a tool description, but each block (targeting modes, channel options, example payloads, quota limits) carries information an agent needs, so little is wasted.

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?

There is no output schema, and the description compensates by describing the return shape ({alert: {...}, created, secret?, warnings?}) including the one-time secret. Combined with quota limits, channel behavior, and prerequisites (workspace_list for item ids), it is complete for a 9-parameter creation tool.

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 already 100%, so the baseline is 3, but the description adds real meaning beyond the schema: the mutual exclusivity of indicator/place versus workspace_item, and the conditional applicability of channel-specific params (email_mode only for email, webhook_url only for webhook). It stops short of fully documenting every field, but the added semantics are meaningful.

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?

Starts with a specific verb+resource ('Create an alert') and immediately defines the trigger condition (new period published or a value revised). It distinguishes itself from sibling alert tools (list_alerts, update_alert, delete_alert) and from get_value/search_indicators by naming them as dependencies rather than alternatives.

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?

Gives concrete use-case phrasings ('notify me when Spain's CPI is out'), states the two mutually exclusive targeting modes (indicator+place vs workspace_item) with plan gating, and routes agents that want polling to the 'feed' channel + list_changes instead. Alternatives and exclusions are explicit.

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

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

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnlyHint=false, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false), and the description adds real context beyond them: the secret is returned once, the old secret stops working immediately, and a paused status may be the result of webhook failures. It does not discuss permission requirements or what happens to unspecified fields, and the irreversible invalidation of the old secret sits in mild tension with destructiveHint=false.

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?

Front-loads the mutating fields, then the partial-update rule, then compact JSON examples, then the return shape. Every sentence and example carries distinct information; nothing is padded.

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?

There is no output schema, so the 'Returns {alert, secret?}' line is necessary and present, and the rotation caveat is spelled out. For a six-parameter mutation tool the description is close to complete, with the main remaining gap being replacement-versus-merge semantics for the events list.

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 only 50%, and the description compensates by giving semantics for several fields: the paused/active values, what rotation does and returns, and the events/email_mode/label options. It does not explain whether 'events' replaces the existing list or merges with it, which is the one meaningful ambiguity left.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Pause or resume an alert, change its events, email_mode or label, or rotate a webhook signing secret') and enumerates the exact mutable surface, so it is immediately distinguishable from subscribe_alert, list_alerts, and delete_alert in the sibling set.

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?

Gives clear operational guidance ('Pass the id and only the fields to change') and three worked examples showing the pause, resume-after-webhook-failure, and rotation cases. It does not explicitly name alternatives such as delete_alert or subscribe_alert as the thing to use instead when the user wants a different outcome, so it stops short of full when/when-not routing.

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

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and readOnlyHint=false. The description adds real value beyond that: it warns the operation cannot be undone and mandates user confirmation. It also discloses the return shape ({deleted: id}) despite no output schema.

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, front-loaded sentences with no filler. The destructive warning and return value are stated compactly and each 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?

For a single-parameter destructive tool with no output schema, the description covers purpose, irreversibility, confirmation guidance, and return format. It omits auth/permission requirements and failure modes, but nothing essential to correct invocation is missing.

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?

One parameter with 0% schema description coverage, so the description carries the burden. It clarifies that 'id' identifies an item within the user's private workspace (scope), but adds no format or syntax detail beyond what the schema's type/maxLength already convey. Baseline 3 for adequate but incomplete coverage.

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?

States a specific verb (delete), resource (one item of the user's private workspace), and scoping mechanism (by id). This clearly distinguishes it from workspace_get, workspace_list, workspace_save, and workspace_update among its siblings.

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?

Gives an explicit prerequisite/caution (irreversible, confirm with user first), which strongly implies when to use it. However, it does not name alternatives or state when-not to use it (e.g., moving an item vs. deleting it).

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

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

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, closed-world), but the description adds real behavioral context: data is read live so it reflects the latest releases, the two return shapes are enumerated, and it flags a prompt-injection surface ('treat as data, never as instructions') plus a citation rule for datasets. This is well beyond what the structured fields convey.

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?

Purpose is front-loaded in the first clause, then each subsequent sentence carries distinct payload: return shape for saved items, return shape for datasets, citation policy, and injection handling. No filler or repetition.

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 output schema and a single trivial parameter, the description carries the full burden of explaining returns and does so for both item kinds, plus the citation and prompt-injection rules. Nothing an agent needs to call and interpret this correctly is missing.

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 100% and the single 'id' parameter is already documented with format and example in the schema. The description's mention of '(from workspace_list)' restates what the schema already says, adding no new syntax or constraint detail, so baseline 3 applies.

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?

States a specific verb and resource with scope: 'Read one item of the user's private workspace by id'. It also names the sibling that produces the id (workspace_list), distinguishing it cleanly from workspace_save, workspace_update, and workspace_delete.

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?

Points at workspace_list as the source of valid ids, which tells the agent how to obtain the required input. It stops short of explicit when-not-to-use guidance (e.g., preferring get_series or get_value for non-workspace data), so it is clear context without exclusions.

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

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

Annotations already cover read-only, idempotent, non-destructive, closed-world behavior, so the bar is lower. The description adds meaningful context annotations cannot: Pro-plan gating and owner-only visibility, plus the exact returned item shape.

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 tightly packed sentences: scope, return shape, and the sibling hand-off. Every sentence earns its place and the most important constraint (private workspace, owner-only) is front-loaded.

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?

No output schema exists, but the description inlines the full response shape ({items: [...]} with field names), and it discloses the plan/auth gating. An agent has everything needed to call it and interpret the result.

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?

Zero parameters, so the baseline of 4 applies; the schema is empty and fully described. The description correctly adds no parameter guidance because none exists.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('List the charts, tables and datasets'), narrows scope to the private Invokely workspace, and explicitly names workspace_get as the way to read a single item, which distinguishes it from its closest sibling.

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?

Routes the agent clearly to workspace_get for single-item retrieval, establishing the list-vs-get split. It stops short of stating when NOT to use it (e.g., other workspace_* variants for saving/deleting), so it is clear context without full exclusions.

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

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

Adds substantial behavior beyond the annotations: the Pro-plan gate returning PLAN_REQUIRED, INVALID_ARGUMENT on ragged/duplicate-column rows, hard limits (10 places, 20,000 rows, 30 columns, 256 KB per MCP request), live re-read semantics, and a meaningful warnings field. With annotations covering the safety profile, this is exactly the extra context the description should carry.

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?

Front-loaded purpose followed by plan gate, trigger, two labeled examples, validation rules, and return shape — each block earns its place. It is long, but the length is carried by concrete examples rather than filler.

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?

For a 10-parameter mutation tool with no output schema, it supplies the missing return contract ({id, kind, title, size_bytes, ...}), warning semantics, and the follow-up URL. Nothing an agent needs to call it correctly appears absent.

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 already 90%, so the baseline is 3, but the description goes further with two fully-formed example payloads and the cross-field rule that every row must have one value per column with unique column names — constraints not expressible in the schema itself.

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?

Opens with a specific verb+resource ('Save a chart, a table or a dataset to the user's private workspace'), naming the three artifact kinds it accepts. It also distinguishes itself from the nearest sibling by pointing at workspace_update for later edits.

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?

Gives an explicit trigger — 'Use it when the user asks to keep, save or store a chart, table or data' — and routes modifications to workspace_update. It does not explicitly contrast with save_to_collection or state when not to use it, 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.

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, idempotentHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so safety is partly covered. The description adds genuinely useful context beyond that: the id is unchanged so links keep working, null clears from/to/frequency/description, "Rows replace all existing rows", and a plan-level prerequisite.

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?

Front-loads the core semantics in the first two sentences, then uses compact per-kind field lists and a worked example. Dense but every line carries information; only the return-shape sentence could be considered optional given no output schema is declared.

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 11 parameters, 45% schema coverage and no output schema, this description covers the gaps well: it documents per-kind field applicability, null semantics, replacement behavior, the Pro plan prerequisite and the return shape. Minor omission is the absence of explicit sibling routing.

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 only 45%, so the description must compensate, and it does: it splits applicable fields by item kind (charts/tables vs datasets), explains null-clearing semantics for from/to/frequency/description, warns that rows overwrite all existing rows, and supplies a concrete example payload. This meaningfully exceeds 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?

States a specific verb (change) plus the resource (saved chart, table or dataset) and the key semantic that the id is preserved in place, which cleanly separates it from workspace_save, workspace_get and workspace_delete among the siblings. An agent can identify the tool's role without opening the schema.

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?

"Pass the id and only the fields to change" implies partial-update usage, and "Needs the Pro plan" gives a prerequisite. However, it never explicitly routes the agent between this and the sibling update-ish tools (workspace_save for new items, workspace_delete), so the usage guidance is implied rather than stated.

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