The description clearly states the tool's function: a composite check for adding an npm package, aggregating data from deps.dev and bundlephobia. It specifies the verb 'scan' and the resource 'dependency', and distinguishes itself from sibling tools by focusing specifically on npm packages with a single-call composite check.

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?

Explicit usage guidance is provided: 'Use whenever an agent asks "is X safe / popular / small" or "what does adding lodash cost me".' It also notes NPM ecosystem only, warns about partial failures and bundlephobia's first measurement delay, and directs other ecosystems to deps.dev directly. This helps an agent decide 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?

Annotations already indicate read-only, idempotent, non-destructive behavior. Description adds technical details: BGE-base-en embeddings, cosine similarity, 500-char windows, 200K char cap with truncation flag, and offset for verification. No contradictions.

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?

3-4 sentences, front-loaded with core action, no redundant phrases. Every sentence adds value: purpose, use case, technical detail, pairing with sibling. Efficient 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?

Given no output schema, description covers return structure (passages with offsets and scores) and truncation behavior. Addresses prerequisites (text must be fetched) and integration with sibling. Fully equips an AI agent to select and invoke correctly.

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%, so baseline is 3. Description enriches schema by providing concrete examples for 'text' (SEC 10-K, article) and 'query' (natural-language examples), plus limit range and default. Adds meaningful context 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?

Clearly states semantic search inside a fetched record with specific resource examples (SEC 10-K, article). Explicitly distinguishes from sibling ask_pipeworx_grounded, which grounds over passages instead of the whole document.

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 when the record is too big to cram into the prompt' and suggests pairing with ask_pipeworx_grounded as an alternative for grounding. Provides clear context for when to choose this tool over others.

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 declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and no destructiveness. The description adds behavioral context by specifying the output fields (part of speech, base lemma, link) and the example demonstrates expected behavior. It 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 a single sentence with an example, containing exactly the necessary information with no fluff. It is front-loaded with the core purpose.

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 low complexity (one parameter, no enums, output schema present), the description fully explains the tool's return values and usage. It is complete for an agent to understand and invoke correctly.

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 the description provides an example query. However, it adds minimal semantic meaning beyond the schema parameter description, which already states 'German word, e.g. "Haus".' Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 provides a dictionary entry summary for a German word from DWDS.de, including part of speech, base lemma, and a link. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like dwds_frequency or lemma by specifying the source and the summary nature.

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 the tool is for looking up German word summaries, but it does not explicitly provide guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like dwds_frequency or lemma. The example hints at usage but does not offer exclusion criteria.

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 mutability and idempotency. The description adds rich behavioral context: requires OAuth, delivery channel specifics with limits (sms cap, webhook auto-disable), and signing mechanism. No contradiction with 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?

Well-structured and front-loaded with core purpose and requirements. While fairly long, every sentence adds value; could be slightly more concise but appropriate given complexity.

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 complexity (3 parameters, nested objects, no output schema), the description is thorough: explains return value, all types and params, delivery options, and constraints. Fully sufficient for an agent to use correctly.

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 the description adds significant value beyond schema by providing concrete examples for each type (e.g., items for sec_8k, topic for polymarket_edge) and delivery details (phone verification, rate limits).

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 proactive monitoring subscription to a live-data event stream, specifying the action and resource. It distinguishes from siblings like 'unsubscribe' and 'list_subscriptions' by focusing on creation.

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 explicit when-to-use guidance and requirements (Pipeworx OAuth account) but lacks explicit negative guidance. However, the strong positive guidance with examples makes it effective.

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 declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, which the description does not contradict. The description adds value by detailing the return structure (category-bucketed examples with tool+argument shapes), which is not obvious from annotations alone.

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 paragraph but well-structured, starting with aliases, then purpose, then detailed explanation. Every sentence adds value, though it could be slightly more compact. Overall it earns its length.

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 tool with one optional parameter and no output schema, the description is fully complete: it explains when to use, what parameters do, what the output looks like (category-bucketed examples), and how it relates to the catalog. No gaps left.

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 a brief description, but the description adds significant context: 'Call with no arguments for the full spread, or pass topic (e.g. 'finance', 'pharma', 'betting') to focus.' This goes beyond the schema, providing concrete examples and usage rationale.

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 is an onboarding entry point that suggests example questions, distinguishing it from siblings like ask_pipeworx. It explicitly defines the verb ('suggest_questions') and resource ('what Pipeworx can do'), making purpose unmistakable.

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 explicitly tells when to use: 'Use this FIRST when you do not yet know what Pipeworx can do for you, or to learn how to call the meta-tools.' It also explains how to vary arguments (no args vs topic) and implicitly suggests alternatives for other needs.

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 indicate a non-read, non-destructive, idempotent write operation. The description adds that ownership is enforced and the row is deactivated (not deleted), preserving history. No contradiction with 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?

Two sentences, front-loaded with the main action. Every sentence adds value with no redundancy or fluff.

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 a simple tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description covers the purpose, constraints, and effect completely, including what happens to historical events.

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?

Only one parameter 'id' with schema description 'Subscription id (uuid) returned by subscribe.' Schema coverage is 100%, so the description adds no additional semantic value beyond what is already in 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 starts with 'Cancel a subscription by id,' clearly stating the verb (cancel) and the resource (subscription identified by id). This distinguishes it from siblings like 'subscribe' 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?

The description explains ownership enforcement and the deactivation behavior, implying that it is for canceling one's own subscriptions. Although it does not explicitly list alternatives, the context is clear enough.

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 indicate readOnlyHint=true, openWorldHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false. The description expands on these by explaining two processing paths (SEC EDGAR for financials, grounded pipeline for others) and the verdict types. It also mentions the citation format, providing behavioral context 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 comprehensive but slightly lengthy. It is well-structured, starting with trigger phrases, then use case, then mechanism, and finally output. All sentences contribute value, though some redundancy exists (e.g., mentions both 'verdict' and 'judged').

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 has 2 parameters, no output schema, and rich annotations, the description is highly complete. It explains the fallback behavior, the types of verdicts, and that it replaces multiple sequential calls. No gaps are apparent.

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%, so baseline is 3. The description adds value by giving concrete examples for the 'claim' parameter and explaining the 'tolerance_pct' parameter's override behavior and default. This extra context justifies a score of 4.

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: verify factual claims. It provides trigger phrases ("Is it true that...", "fact check") and distinguishes between company-financial claims and other claims, specifying the data sources. The output format (verdict, actual value, citation) is also mentioned.

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 explicitly says "Use whenever the agent needs to check whether something a user said is factually correct." This is clear guidance. However, it does not explicitly contrast with sibling tools like ask_pipeworx_grounded or deep_research, leaving some ambiguity about when to prefer alternatives.
