Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It only states the high-level output (budget range and timeline) without revealing how the estimate is generated, what assumptions are made, or any limitations/caveats. This minimal behavioral disclosure is insufficient for a tool with zero annotation support.
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 description is a single, concise sentence with no filler. It front-loads the key deliverable (budget range and timeline) and earns its place without redundancy.
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 tool has 3 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, so the description must provide sufficient context. It only states what is returned, but does not explain how the estimation works, what inputs affect it, or what constitutes a 'timeline'. The complexity warrants more detail than this minimal statement.
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?
The schema description coverage is only 33% (only company_size is described). The tool description mentions 'a country' and 'specific services', covering country and services loosely, but it does not explain the company_size parameter or how any parameter influences the estimate. With low schema coverage, the description should compensate but only partially does.
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 clearly states the tool's function: 'Get an estimated budget range and timeline for expanding into a country with specific services.' It uses a specific verb ('Get') and identifies the resource ('budget range and timeline'), which distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_competitors or get_country_info.
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 implies when to use the tool (when expanding into a country and needing cost/time estimates) but does not explicitly mention alternatives or when not to use it. The context is clear enough for basic selection, but lacks exclusions.
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 targets a distinct resource and action: estimating expansion costs, finding competitors, retrieving country info, requesting a call, and searching services. There is no overlap or ambiguity between them.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with lowercase underscores (estimate_, get_, request_, search_). This makes the API predictable and easy to navigate.
With 5 tools, the server is well-scoped for its purpose of supporting business expansion research and lead generation. Each tool earns its place without redundancy or bloat.
The tool set covers the full lifecycle of a potential client's journey: discovering services, understanding a country, estimating costs, identifying competitors, and requesting a strategy call. There are no obvious dead ends or missing core operations.
