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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, covering safety. The description adds the behavioral scope of 'available for lending and borrowing', which is useful context, but it does not mention response format, pagination, or any edge cases, leaving some behavior undisclosed.

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?

The description is a single, front-loaded sentence that immediately states the action ('List') and the object ('all assets'). It contains no redundant words and is easy to parse.

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 the large number of sibling tools with overlapping names (e.g., 'get_money_market_reserve_assets', 'get_money_market_tokens', 'get_hub_assets'), the description is vague about what constitutes an 'asset'. There is no output schema and no mention of response structure, so the agent may not know what fields to expect.

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%: both 'format' and 'chainId' have clear descriptions. The tool description adds no additional parameter semantics, so the score remains at the schema-covered baseline of 3.

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 uses the specific verb 'List' with a clear resource and scope: 'all assets available for lending and borrowing in the SODAX money market'. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'sodax_get_money_market_asset' (singular) and 'sodax_get_money_market_reserve_assets', making the purpose 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?

The description clearly states the tool's scope (list all lendable/borrowable assets), implying when to use it. However, it does not explicitly contrast with alternatives or state when not to use it, such as when a specific asset or reserve assets are needed.

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