B3.3/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds one genuine behavioral fact — it returns browser/app handoffs rather than performing installation or execution — but says nothing about auth, rate limits, or result shape.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two short sentences, zero filler, with the core action front-loaded and the scope caveat immediately after. Nothing could be cut without losing meaning.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be described. But for a tool with an undocumented query parameter and no sibling differentiation, the description leaves the agent without enough to decide when to call it or how to phrase the query.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

There is one parameter (query) with 0% schema description coverage, and the description never mentions searching, filtering, or what the query string accepts. It falls back on 'Find curated ... capabilities' which only loosely implies a search term, so the undocumented parameter is not compensated for.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb (Find) and resource (curated AB5D capabilities and apps on abx.io), and the second sentence bounds the result type. However, 'AB5D capabilities' is unexplained jargon and the description does nothing to distinguish this from the art/project-oriented siblings, so an agent must infer the domain.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

It implies its role as a discovery/lookup tool and explicitly rules out installation or execution, which is a useful boundary. But there is no positive when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites, and no named alternative among the many sibling tools.

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