Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Description says 'Replaces any existing notes text' (destructive behavior) but annotations set destructiveHint=false. This is a direct contradiction, misleading the agent.
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?
Two concise sentences, front-loaded with primary purpose, bulk support added efficiently. No superfluous words.
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?
Covers key purpose and bulk capability, but lacks output description and parameter details. The annotation contradiction undermines completeness. Adequate but with clear gaps.
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?
With 0% schema description coverage, description should compensate but only mentions 'client_ids' for bulk and implies 'notes'. Does not explain 'account' or differentiate between 'client_id' and 'client_ids' usage.
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?
Clearly states 'Save (overwrite) notes/observations for a student' with specific verb (save/overwrite) and resource (notes). Distinguishes from sibling 'mfit_get_client_notes' which is read-only.
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?
Description implies when to use: to set or overwrite notes, singly or in bulk. Does not explicitly state when not to use or alternatives, but sibling tool names provide context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
