Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full disclosure burden. It implies a read-only lookup but says nothing about whether the businessId must exist, what happens on an unknown ID, pagination of results, or required auth — all meaningful for an agent booking flow.
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?
A single short sentence with no wasted words, but it is under-specified rather than concise — the phrase 'for agent booking' occupies space without adding 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?
For a one-parameter read tool without an output schema, the description leaves the return shape (service list fields, availability, pricing) and error behavior unexplained. Adequate to start a call but thin for planning how to use the result in a booking workflow.
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% with a single required businessId, so the schema already documents the parameter fully. The description adds no meaning beyond it (e.g., no note on ID format or source), making baseline 3 appropriate.
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?
States a verb ('Get') and resource ('services offered by a business'), which is understandable, but the trailing 'for agent booking' is vague and doesn't distinguish it from the sibling pabandi_search_services, which appears to cover similar ground.
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 when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites, and no mention of the closely related sibling pabandi_search_services. The agent must guess whether this or search_services is the right entry point for a given booking flow.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
