Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds context about the data source (datos.gob.cl CKAN) and the specific metadata fields returned, which is 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 description is a single, dense sentence that front-loads the key context and provides all necessary information without waste. It is concise and well-structured.
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?
The description covers the tool's purpose, input, and output fields effectively. It could mention error handling or explicit limitations, but for a simple read-only operation with an output schema, it is adequate.
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 schema has no descriptions for the single 'id' parameter, and the description clarifies that this ID is a resource ID. This is essential for distinguishing it from package or group IDs, though it doesn't specify the expected format.
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 uses a specific verb ('metadata for a single resource') and clearly identifies the resource type and catalogue. It lists the returned fields, which distinguishes it from sibling tools like package_show and group_show.
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 that this tool is for retrieving metadata about a specific resource using its ID, but it doesn't explicitly state when to use it over related tools like package_show or organization_show. No exclusions or alternatives are provided, though the naming makes the distinction fairly clear.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Add one secure layer between your agents and this server.
Tools are generally distinct in purpose, but some overlap exists between ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_grounded, and deep_research. Descriptions clearly differentiate them, but an agent might still need to carefully choose.
Most tool names follow a consistent snake_case pattern with clear prefixes (e.g., pipeworx_*, polymarket_*). A few names like compare_entities and validate_claim break the pattern, but overall it is predictable.
With 40 tools, the server is overly large for a single coherent set. Many tools are meta or auxiliary, but the count exceeds the 'too many' threshold, making it hard for agents to navigate.
The tool set covers data retrieval, Chilean open data, Polymarket, memory, and monitoring comprehensively. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no direct trading for Polymarket), but the surface is complete for the stated purpose.
