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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It explains the routing behavior across 300+ sources and that it fills arguments. Lacks details on performance, potential errors, or read-only nature, but sets reasonable expectations.

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 concise, front-loaded with purpose, and includes usage guidelines and examples in a single paragraph. 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?

Given no output schema, description does not specify return format. It covers parameter well and explains the tool's scope. Slightly incomplete on output structure but adequate for the tool's simplicity.

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?

Input schema fully describes the single parameter. Description adds value beyond schema by providing question types and examples, making it clear what constitutes a valid query.

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?

Description clearly states it answers natural-language questions by picking the right data source. Examples cover diverse domains, and it distinguishes from sibling tools like get_team or list_competitions by being a general-purpose query tool.

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 when a user asks... and you don't want to figure out which Pipeworx pack/tool to call.' Provides concrete examples. Could be improved by including when NOT to use it (e.g., for specific tools already available).

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?

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It discloses data sources (SEC EDGAR/XBRL, FAERS), data fields (revenue, net income, etc.), and return type (paired data + citations). It does not mention read-only nature or potential side effects, but the behavior is well described.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

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?

Exceptionally concise: 3-4 sentences with no wasted words. Each sentence adds unique value: action, usage guidance, scope, return values.

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 no output schema, the description explains the complex return structure (verdict types, actual value, citation, delta), making it complete for a 1-param tool. All necessary information for an agent to use it correctly is present.

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' is fully covered in schema, and the description adds examples and clarifies it's natural language, enhancing understanding beyond the schema's generic description.

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 performs fact-checking/verification of natural-language claims, specifically for company-financial claims, with a clear verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'ask_pipeworx' or 'compare_entities' by its specific purpose.

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 guidance on when to use (checking truth of user statements, with example questions) and mentions it replaces 4-6 calls. Does not explicitly state when not to use, but the scope (company-financial claims) implies limitations.

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