Get a clean summary of a Wikipedia article: extract, thumbnail, description, last modified. Use this to verify an entity exists or pull a one-line description.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Lists outputs (extract, thumbnail, description, last modified) but does not disclose limitations, response format, or side effects. With no annotations, more detail on behavior would be beneficial.
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 sentences, front-loaded with purpose, no wasted words. Efficiently conveys key information.
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?
Describes outputs and use case, but lacks details on return structure (e.g., JSON format, thumbnail URL) given no output schema. Adequate for a simple tool but not fully complete.
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 0%, but the description implies the single parameter 'title' is a Wikipedia article title, adding meaning beyond the schema. Could specify case sensitivity or formatting.
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?
Clearly states it retrieves a clean summary of a Wikipedia article including extract, thumbnail, description, and last modified. Differentiates from siblings like wikidata_search (Wikidata queries) and wiki_trending (trending articles).
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 use case: to verify an entity exists or pull a one-line description. Implicitly distinguishes from siblings, though could explicitly mention when not to use.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Add one secure layer between your agents and this server.
Each tool has a distinct and non-overlapping purpose: entity search, page summary, live edits feed, and trending page rankings. No ambiguity between tools.
All tools share a 'wiki_' prefix, but the naming patterns vary: 'wikidata_search' uses noun_verb? 'wiki_page_summary' is noun_noun, 'wiki_recent_changes' is adjective_noun, and 'wiki_trending' is adjective. Lack of a consistent verb_noun or noun_verb pattern.
With 4 tools, the server is well-scoped for its purpose around Wikipedia recent changes and trends. Each tool serves a clear need without bloat or insufficiency.
Covers key operations: entity search, page summary, live changes, and trending. Minor gaps like full page content retrieval or per-edit history exist, but the core use case is well-covered.
