Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden, yet it only hints at payload content ('full job details incl. history'). It says nothing about read-only safety, permission requirements, whether the caller must own or have applied to the job, or what 'history' covers (events, bids, status changes).
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 front-loaded sentence with zero filler. Every word ('full', 'details', 'history') conveys payload scope rather than restating the tool name.
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 simple one-parameter getter with no output schema and no annotations, the description is adequate to call the tool but thin: it does not clarify permissions, error behavior, or what distinguishes the returned 'history'. It is minimally viable rather than 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?
There is one parameter and schema coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents job_id; the description adds no format, source, or lookup semantics beyond it. Baseline 3 is appropriate when the schema does the parameter work.
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 specific verb+resource combination ('get_job' returns 'full job details incl. history'), which is clear enough that an agent understands it retrieves a single job's complete record. It is distinguishable in substance from list_jobs, but it never names or contrasts with any sibling, so it falls short of the 5 bar.
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 offers no when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites, and no alternatives. With siblings like list_jobs, claim_job, review_job, cancel_job, and submit_job in scope, an agent gets no help deciding that this tool is the retrieval-only path for a known job_id.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
