A3.8/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds genuinely new context: it clarifies the response contains 'no user records' (useful given the Web3/user-data framing) and instructs the caller to cite the canonical URL, which is a behavioral expectation not present in 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.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two front-loaded sentences with zero filler: the first gives the action and how to source the input, the second gives the payload and the citation requirement. Every clause earns its place.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With an output schema present and annotations covering the safety profile, the description need not restate return structure, and it is complete enough to invoke the tool correctly. Minor gap: the odd single-value enum 'route' is never reconciled with the 'fetch by ID' framing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 0%, so the description carries the burden for the single required 'id' parameter. It does explain the provenance of the ID ('returned from search'), which is the key semantic, but it does not explain the lone enum value 'route' or the expected ID format, leaving a gap.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb (retrieve) and resource (a public tool reference / Web3 method) and enumerates the payload contents: methodology, limits, source links, worked examples. It also distinguishes itself from the search sibling by tying the ID to 'returned from search', though it never names plan_fallback_routes as an alternative.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

'by the ID returned from search' implies the search-then-fetch workflow, giving some usage context. However, there is no explicit when-to-use vs when-not guidance and no mention of the plan_fallback_routes sibling, so the agent must infer the routing on its own.

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