Given no output schema, the description sufficiently covers all aspects: types, parameters, delivery options, constraints, and return value.

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 100%, but description enriches with concrete examples (e.g., items codes, topic names) not present in schema descriptions.

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 creates a monitoring subscription and returns an ID. It distinguishes from siblings like unsubscribe and list_subscriptions.

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?

Provides context on when to use (live-data monitoring) and prerequisites (OAuth account). Does not explicitly exclude alternatives, but hints at pulling via recent_alerts for feed.

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

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

Annotations already cover readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint. The description adds context about output structure (category-bucketed examples with tool+argument shape) and its role as onboarding entry point, which goes beyond 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 description is fairly long but well-structured with a list of example trigger phrases and categories. Information is front-loaded and every sentence contributes value, though slight trimming could improve conciseness.

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 onboarding purpose and simple schema, the description fully covers when, why, and how to use it, including output content and parameter usage. No output schema required as description explains return value.

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 100% with parameter description. The description reiterates the optional topic parameter and provides example values ('finance', 'pharma', 'betting'), enhancing practical understanding.

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 as 'the onboarding entry point' that returns 'category-bucketed example questions' with exact tool+argument shapes. It distinguishes from siblings by instructing to use this tool first when unsure of Pipeworx's capabilities.

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?

Explicitly says 'Use this FIRST when you do not yet know what Pipeworx can do for you, or to learn how to call the meta-tools'. Also explains call with no arguments or with optional topic parameter, providing clear when-to-use and alternatives.

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

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

Annotations already indicate non-destructive (destructiveHint: false) and idempotent (idempotentHint: true) behavior. Description adds value by clarifying that the row is deactivated (not deleted) and historical events remain accessible, which is beyond what annotations provide.

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 sentences, no wasted words. The primary action is front-loaded, and additional constraints are logically appended.

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 single-parameter tool with full schema coverage and no output schema, the description covers purpose, side effects, ownership, and data retention completely. No gaps remain.

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 100% and already describes the 'id' parameter as 'Subscription id (uuid) returned by subscribe'. The description reiterates this but adds no new semantic meaning beyond context that id comes from subscribe.

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 action ('Cancel a subscription by id') and distinguishes from sibling tools like 'subscribe' and 'list_subscriptions' by specifying ownership enforcement and deactivation behavior.

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?

Explicitly states ownership constraint ('you can only cancel your own subscriptions') and explains consequence (deactivation, not deletion) giving clear context for when to use this tool.

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

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

Beyond the annotations (readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint, destructiveHint false), the description adds valuable behavioral context: it lists the possible verdicts, the structured form returned, the source (SEC EDGAR + XBRL), and the delta calculation. It also notes that unsupported claims will yield an 'unsupported' verdict, covering edge cases.

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 (5 sentences) and well-structured: it starts with the core verb+resource, gives usage hints, specifies scope, output, and efficiency benefit. Every sentence adds value without redundancy.

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?

Despite having no output schema, the description completely covers the tool's behavior, including the return format (verdict, structured form, actual value with citation, percent delta). It also explains the data source and the types of claims supported. The efficiency gain is mentioned, which helps the agent decide to use this tool over alternatives.

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 single parameter 'claim' has a schema description, but the tool description greatly expands its meaning by providing natural-language examples, specifying the types of claims supported (company-financial), and clarifying the required format. This addition is crucial for correct agent invocation.

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's purpose: natural-language claim verification against authoritative sources, specifically company-financial claims. It uses specific verbs like 'fact check', 'verify the claim', and distinguishes from sibling tools by focusing on a distinct domain and functionality.

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 provides explicit when-to-use guidance: when the agent needs to check factual correctness of claims, especially those phrased as 'Is it true that…'. It also specifies the claim scope (company-financial) and notes that it replaces multiple sequential calls. However, it does not explicitly mention when not to use or provide alternative sibling tools for other types of claims.

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