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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, non-destructive and openWorld, so safety is covered. The description adds value by disclosing what is computed, but omits important behavior: how the expiry is selected when both weekly and monthly are available, data freshness, and whether an invalid ticker yields an error or an empty map.

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 core sentence is front-loaded and every clause names a returned metric, so nothing is wasted. The Python-docstring 'Args:' block is slightly awkward for a tool description but is short and harmless.

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-value burden and does so by enumerating the four metrics. For a single-parameter read-only tool, only the expiry-selection rule and failure behavior are missing, which is a modest 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?

One required parameter with 0% schema description coverage, so the description must compensate. It does only minimally by restating 'Stock symbol, e.g. "SPY"', which adds an example format but no constraints on exchange suffix, case, or support for index/ETF symbols.

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?

Names a specific resource (option-chain pressure map) and enumerates the concrete outputs — Max Pain, dealer Gamma Wall, weekly high, squeeze target — so an agent knows exactly what it returns. It doesn't explicitly differentiate itself from the closest sibling, get_iv_radar, which also deals with options-derived metrics, so it stops 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?

No statement of when to use this versus alternatives such as get_iv_radar or analyze_stock, and no prerequisites or exclusions. The only usage signal is the implied scope of 'nearest weekly/monthly expiry', which is a scope constraint rather than guidance.

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