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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint. The description adds value by detailing the output structure (category-bucketed examples) and that it uses the live catalog, but does not contradict 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 front-loaded with common query phrases, then provides detailed structure and usage. While slightly long, every sentence adds value and it is well-organized.

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 an onboarding tool with no output schema, the description fully explains the return type (category-bucketed examples with tool/argument shapes) and covers usage variations. Nothing essential is missing.

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% (one param with list of valid values). The description reinforces the optional topic parameter with examples, but adds limited additional meaning beyond the schema.

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 it returns category-bucketed example questions with tool+argument shapes, and positions it as the onboarding entry point. It distinguishes from siblings like ask_pipeworx by stating it's for when the agent doesn't know what Pipeworx can do.

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 advises 'Use this FIRST when you do not yet know what Pipeworx can do for you' and explains when to use with/without topic. While it doesn't explicitly say when not to use, the 'first' implies it's a starting point before using other tools.

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