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

Annotations already cover readOnly/idempotent; description adds that it is experimental/edge and compares results against the stable router, but does not detail any side effects beyond that.

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?

Description is informative but contains some confusing phrasing around 'identical yet candidate improvements' and 'falls back to nothing' that could be tightened.

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?

Provides enough context that this is a drop-in beta of ask_pipeworx with experimental routing, and mentions active-candidate status; lacks explicit output/response details but those are covered by 'same response shape'.

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 covers all 6 params with 100% coverage, listing aliases clearly; description adds that arguments are identical to ask_pipeworx, reinforcing expected usage.

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?

States clearly that it is the beta version of ask_pipeworx, a universal router identical in scope and arguments, and distinguishes from stable ask_pipeworx by experimental routing improvements.

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 it exactly like ask_pipeworx when you want the newest routing', and clarifies that it works as a full router with no fallback, so the agent knows when to choose it over the stable sibling.

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