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

Beyond annotations, it discloses that each question's `html` is Moodle's own rendered form, that the agent must parse it for field names, and that the behavior is UNVERIFIED against a real quiz. Those are meaningful output-format and reliability caveats not captured by readOnlyHint or openWorldHint.

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 sentences, front-loaded with the main action, followed by the parsing requirement and the verification caveat. There is no filler; every sentence contributes actionable 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?

The output schema and annotations handle return values and safety, while the description supplies the essential missing context: the HTML is Moodle-rendered, must be parsed for field names, and has not been verified against a real quiz. That is sufficient for an agent to call it 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%, and both the `page` (0-indexed) and `attempt_id` parameters are already documented in the schema. The description reinforces page scoping but adds no syntax, format, or constraint details beyond what the schema provides, 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?

The description states a specific verb and resource ('Get the questions') and narrows scope to 'one page of an in-progress quiz attempt'. The 'in-progress' qualifier implicitly distinguishes it from finished-attempt sibling tools such as get_quiz_attempt_review and get_quiz_attempt_summary.

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 clear workflow guidance: call this before save_quiz_attempt_responses/process_quiz_attempt, and parse the HTML to identify answer-field names. It names the downstream alternatives but does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or compare it against get_quiz_attempt_review.

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