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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint=false and idempotentHint, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds that computation is local with no network or upstream dependency, which reinforces rather than contradicts the annotations, but it says nothing about output shape, pass/fail semantics, or error behaviour on malformed colour values.

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 short sentences, front-loaded with the substantive capability and followed by the locality caveat. No filler, no restatement of the tool name or title. Every clause earns its place.

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?

For a simple two-parameter read tool whose annotations and schema are both rich, the description covers purpose adequately. However, with no output schema present, the description leaves the return value completely unexplained — an agent does not know whether it receives a boolean, a ratio, a list of violations, or a threshold verdict.

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 100%: both foreground and background carry '#RRGGBB' format documentation and both are required. The description adds no further parameter meaning, so the baseline 3 applies. The only implicit addition is that the two colours are contrasted against each other, which the parameter names already imply.

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 names a concrete resource (contrast and colour-vision) and a concrete threshold (the Mzizi APCA/AAA floor), so the resource is unambiguous. It stops short of a crisp verb+object statement like 'check foreground against background' and there is no sibling in the list that performs similar work, so no differentiation is needed or provided.

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 gives no when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites, and no comparison to any alternative. The only contextual statement is about execution locality, which is not usage guidance. An agent cannot infer from the text when this check is the right call versus any other evaluation step.

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