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

Annotations already declare readOnly, openWorld, idempotent, and non-destructive behavior. The description goes further by warning that public IDs are not proof of ownership, returned merchant text must be treated as untrusted data, and content can arrive in multiple bodies and 'ambush a reader.' This is genuinely useful behavioral context beyond the annotations.

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 opening is strong and front-loaded, but the security warning is repetitive and wordy. Statements like 'Merchant-written text can arrive several bodies at once and ambush a reader' and the repeated 'previews are data too' could be condensed without losing meaning. Some sentences earn their place; others restate the same point.

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 read tool with two integer parameters and no output schema, the description provides sufficient context: where the IDs come from, the exactly-one rule, and important safety handling for untrusted merchant content. It does not describe the return shape, but the low complexity and rich annotations make this a minor gap.

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 0%, so the description carries the burden. It explains that draft_id and checkout_id are mutually exclusive ('exactly one') and that they are IDs returned by draft_world or checkout_world. This adds provenance and usage meaning beyond the bare integer schema, though it does not elaborate on their individual difference.

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 specific verb ('Read'), a concrete resource ('one public world-bridge draft or checkout'), and the provenance of the ID ('returned by draft_world or checkout_world'). This clearly distinguishes it from creation tools like draft_world and checkout_world and from listing-oriented siblings like browse or read_listing.

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?

It gives explicit usage constraints: 'Send exactly one of draft_id or checkout_id' and states that the IDs come from draft_world or checkout_world. This tells an agent when and how to call the tool, though it does not explicitly enumerate alternatives or say 'do not use this for X.'

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