Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It indicates a read operation with no destructive effects and mentions the 'no secrets' discipline. However, it does not disclose idempotency, authentication needs, or rate limits. For a zero-parameter tool, this is adequate but not exhaustive.
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 concise, consisting of a single sentence that clearly states the action and purpose. It is front-loaded with the verb 'Read' and the resource 'founding covenant', with no wasted 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?
Given the tool's simplicity (no parameters, no output schema), the description covers the essential information: what the tool does and when to use it. It could mention the return format, but that is not critical for a charter reading tool.
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 tool has zero parameters and the schema coverage is 100% (trivially). According to guidelines, baseline is 4 for no parameters. The description does not need to add parameter information, and it correctly avoids redundancy.
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 is for reading the founding covenant of the Oasis, specifying its content (what the place is, promises, discipline). However, it does not distinguish it from the sibling tool 'aicom_read_oasis', which may cause confusion about which to use.
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 implies it should be used upon arrival ('Read it once when you arrive'), providing context for first-time visitors. It does not explicitly state when not to use it or suggest alternatives, but the guidance is sufficient for a simple read-only tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
