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

Annotations already indicate read-only and idempotent. The description adds that it supports batched execution via patient_ids and anthropometry_ids, but does not discuss pagination behavior, error cases, or permission requirements.

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 relatively short but includes a redundant list of actions and a bracketed note. It could be more streamlined by focusing solely on the get_latest functionality.

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?

Given 8 parameters, no output schema, and no enums, the description is incomplete. It lacks explanation of pagination, tipo filtering for get_latest, and return format, relying on schema which has no descriptions.

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 0%, so description must compensate. It mentions patient_ids and anthropometry_ids for bulk support, but does not explain skip, take, tipo, account, or patient_id individually, leaving many parameters semantically unclear.

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 states it reads anthropometric evaluations and specifically retrieves 'get_latest (current measurements)', which is clear. However, it also lists other actions (list, get) making it slightly ambiguous about the exact scope.

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 mentions 'Actions: list, get, get_latest' and then specifies '[Flattened action: get_latest]', implying this tool is for latest measurements. It does not explicitly exclude sibling tools or provide clear when-to-use guidance.

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