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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It states the tool picks the best data source and fills arguments, which indicates it may invoke other tools or databases. However, it does not disclose any side effects, error behavior, or limitations (e.g., what if no data source is available). With zero annotations, this is adequate but not comprehensive.

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 concise (3 sentences plus examples) and front-loaded with the core purpose. The examples are helpful. A slight deduction for not being even more succinct, but it's well within acceptable 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?

Given the tool's simplicity (1 param, no output schema, no nested objects), the description covers the key use cases and behavior. It lacks details about error handling or limitations, but for a natural language query tool, this is sufficient. No output schema means return values are not documented, but the description implies a textual answer.

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 description coverage is 100% for the single parameter 'question', which is well-described in the schema as 'Your question or request in natural language'. The description reinforces this with examples, but does not add new meaning beyond the schema. 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 accepts a plain English question and returns an answer from the best data source. It uses specific verbs ('ask', 'pick', 'fill', 'return') and distinguishes itself from sibling tools by abstracting away tool selection and schema 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 tells when to use this tool: when you want to ask a question without browsing tools or learning schemas. It gives examples ('What is the US trade deficit...') and implies when not to use it (if you need a specific tool's functionality directly). Sibling tools like discover_tools or linkedin_humblebrag_generate are clearly different use cases.

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 set readOnlyHint=true, openWorldHint=true, destructiveHint=false. The description adds context about the multi-step process (resolving, classifying, fanning out) and the output (evidence packet + comparison). No contradiction, and it provides useful behavioral details 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 front-loaded with the main purpose, followed by details and use cases. It is slightly verbose with marketing language ('core demo product') but well-structured and mostly concise.

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's complexity and lack of output schema, the description explains the process (resolve, classify, fan out) and the return (evidence packet + comparison). It mentions the default depth but doesn't detail the evidence packet format. Still, it provides sufficient context for an agent to use the tool effectively.

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 descriptions for both parameters. The description adds value by providing examples for the 'market' parameter and explaining the 'depth' parameter's effect (quick vs thorough) in line with the schema. This slightly exceeds the baseline of 3.

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 function: 'Research a Polymarket bet by pulling the relevant Pipeworx data for it in one call.' It details the process (resolve market, classify, fan out to packs, return evidence and comparison) and distinguishes from siblings by being specific to Polymarket betting, unlike general tools like ask_pipeworx.

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 explicit use cases: 'Use for "should I bet on X?", "what does the data say about this Polymarket market?", or "is there edge in this bet?"' It also advises agents that using this tool is better than discovering packs manually. However, it doesn't explicitly state when not to use it or compare with siblings.

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