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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden and does well: it discloses the data sources (Honeypot.is simulation, GoPlus audit, DexScreener liquidity/volume/pair age, on-chain checks) and the composite outputs (0-100 risk_score, risk_level, flags). It does not mention auth needs, rate limits, or latency, so it stops short of a 5.

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?

Front-loaded with the core question and the returned artifact, with no wasted preamble. The sentence is long and packs several source names, but each clause adds decision-relevant information rather than filler.

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?

No output schema exists, and the description duly enumerates the return shape (risk_score, risk_level, flags) and supported chains. For a two-parameter tool this is nearly complete; only address format/expectations are left unstated.

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 description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. The chain parameter is effectively covered by 'any token on Base or Ethereum', matching the enum. But the required 'address' parameter is never clarified as the ERC-20 contract address, leaving a real gap for the most important input.

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 (pre-trade safety check) and resource (ERC-20 token), then enumerates exactly the questions it answers: honeypot, buy/sell taxes, mintable supply, reclaimable ownership, liquidity depth. It also names the two supported chains, so an agent can distinguish this from the unrelated siblings (web-search, wallet-activity-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?

Explicitly says when to use it: 'Run it before swaps, listings or purchases.' That is clear context for invocation. However, it names no alternative tool and gives no when-not conditions, which would be needed for a 5.

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