Hackertarget

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint=false, covering safety. The description adds the output structure (score, confidence, signals, raw_response per model + combined view) and notes that Anthropic calls incur costs (BYO key). 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?

The description is four sentences long, front-loaded with the primary action. Every sentence serves a purpose: core function, default vs paid, output summary, use cases. No redundant or unnecessary words.

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 the absence of an output schema, the description fully explains the return format (per-model fields + combined view) and cost implications. It covers all necessary context for a probing tool.

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 adds meaning beyond schema: it explains the default model behavior, the purpose of _apiKey, and how 'context' helps disambiguate. This adds value over the schema alone.

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 verb 'Probe', the resource 'LLMs', and the outcome 'score visibility (0-100) per model'. It distinguishes from siblings like 'scan_competitor_ai_presence' by focusing specifically on probing LLMs for entity knowledge.

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 mentions the default free model and the alternative Anthropic model requiring a BYO API key. It also lists use cases (AI-marketing audits, pre-launch brand checks, competitive monitoring), providing clear context for 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, open-world, idempotent behavior. The description adds value by explaining the routing mechanism (2,789 tools across 604 sources) and response format (structured answer with pipeworx:// URIs), which annotations do not cover. 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?

The description is comprehensive but not excessively long. It front-loads the key instruction ('PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH') and uses bullet-like examples for clarity. Minor redundancy exists (e.g., 'or anything requiring authoritative structured data' is already implied), but overall it is 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?

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 input schema has 0% description coverage for the single parameter 'target'. The description does not clarify what 'target' should be (e.g., IP address, domain name) or any format requirements, leaving the agent to guess.

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 identifies the tool as a 'traceroute lookup' and mentions 'HackerTarget', clearly naming the resource and action. It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'dns_lookup' by specifying traceroute, though it could be clearer about what a traceroute does.

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?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'mtr' or 'nping'. There is no mention of context, prerequisites, or exclusions, leaving the agent without decision support.

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, openWorldHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false. The description adds behavioral context: it uses SEC EDGAR + XBRL, returns a verdict (e.g., confirmed, refuted) with extracted structured form and citation. It discloses the internal workflow by mentioning it replaces 4-6 sequential calls. However, it does not discuss potential limitations or error conditions.

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 highly concise: two sentences effectively convey purpose, usage, and output. The first sentence states the core function, and the second provides details on scope and results. No extraneous information is present.

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 simple schema (one parameter, no output schema), the description provides sufficient context to understand the tool's behavior and output. It explains the verdict types, citation mechanism, and efficiency gain. The annotations further clarify safety and idempotency, making the description complete for the tool's complexity.

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 input schema has a single required parameter 'claim' with a brief description. The tool description expands on this by clarifying that the claim should be a natural-language factual statement, providing examples, and specifying the supported domain (company-financial claims). This adds meaningful guidance beyond the schema alone.

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: 'Fact-check, verify, validate, or confirm/refute a natural-language factual claim or statement'. It specifies the verb ('validate'), resource ('claim'), and context (SEC EDGAR + XBRL for company-financial claims). It also distinguishes from siblings by noting it replaces multiple sequential calls, making its role unique.

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 when an agent needs to check whether something a user said is true' and gives example queries. It also specifies the supported domain (company-financial claims). However, it does not explicitly state when not to use or list alternative tools, which would strengthen guidance.

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?

While annotations cover readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and openWorldHint, the description adds no behavioral context beyond the tool's name. It doesn't discuss error handling, rate limits, or the reliance on an external service (HackerTarget).

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 extremely short (three words), but it sacrifices clarity for brevity. It is not a model of valuable conciseness; it omits critical information that could be conveyed in a few more words.

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 simple structure (1 param, no output schema) and rich annotations, the description still fails to explain what the tool returns or any limitations of the HackerTarget service. It is incomplete for an agent to use confidently.

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 input schema has 0% description coverage, and the description does not clarify what the 'target' parameter should be (e.g., domain, IP, format). The tool name implies domain/IP input, but no explicit guidance is provided.

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 'HackerTarget whois lookup' clearly states the tool performs a WHOIS lookup using the HackerTarget service. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like dns_lookup, as_lookup, and geoip by specifying both the operation and the data source.

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, when-not-to-use, or comparative advantages over other lookup tools.

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