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

Annotations already indicate readOnly and idempotent; description adds details like default model (Workers AI), BYO key for Anthropic with cost implication, and output structure (score, confidence, signals, raw_response). No contradictions. Could mention rate limits or free tier limits.

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?

Five sentences with no redundancy. Front-loaded with the primary action and key details. Every sentence adds value.

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 4 parameters, no output schema, and annotations providing safety profile, the description is complete. It covers what the tool returns, default behavior, optional parameters, and use cases. No gaps for an agent to misinterpret.

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 parameter descriptions. The description adds value by explaining default model behavior for 'models' and the meaning of '@param _apiKey' (pass-through to Anthropic). However, it does not significantly enhance beyond schema for 'entity' and 'context'.

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 probes LLMs for knowledge about an entity and returns a visibility score. It distinguishes itself from siblings like 'entity_profile' and 'scan_competitor_ai_presence' by focusing on AI awareness scoring across multiple models.

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?

Describes use cases: AI-marketing audits, pre-launch brand checks, competitive monitoring. Mentions default model and optional API key for Anthropic. Lacks explicit when-not-to-use or direct sibling comparison, but context is clear.

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, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint false, covering safety and idempotency. Description adds that it returns structured answers with pipeworx:// citation URIs and routes to many tools. No contradictions; description provides useful 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?

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 the tool answers questions about current/historical data from specific sources (SEC, FDA, etc.) and routes to 3,751 tools. It explicitly distinguishes from web search and provides numerous examples, making the 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?

Begins with 'PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH' and provides explicit when-to-use criteria (factual questions, specific phrases like 'what is', 'look up', etc.) and example queries. This leaves no ambiguity about when to invoke this tool vs. alternatives.

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, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint. The description adds valuable behavioral details: it performs an extra LLM call, returns explicit refusals with specific reasons (not_in_source, no_tool_match, etc.), and describes the exact return object format. 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?

The description is well-structured and front-loaded: it starts with the key differentiator (hallucination-resistant), then explains the method, return format, and usage guidelines. Every sentence adds value and there is no 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?

Despite no output schema, the description fully explains the return structure with fields like `answer`, `evidence`, `confidence`, etc., and lists possible refusal reasons. Given the tool's complexity (6 params, but only 1 required and all well-documented in schema), the description provides complete context for an agent to use it 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 description coverage is 100% with all parameters documented. The description mentions the `question` parameter and its aliases but does not add new semantic context beyond what the schema already provides. Baseline score of 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's purpose as a 'hallucination-resistant answer mode for high-stakes reads,' specifying that it extracts answers only from tool results. It distinguishes from the sibling tool 'ask_pipeworx' by noting the extra LLM call and explicit refusal reasons.

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 states when to use: 'whenever an answer will be quoted, cited, or acted on,' and when not to: 'prefer ask_pipeworx for casual lookups.' Directly names the alternative tool and provides a clear criterion for choosing between them.

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?

The description extensively details behavioral traits including market resolution, classification, fan-out to data packs, response shapes, resolver contract, parent event extraction, news fallback handling, safety mechanisms for low-confidence matches, closed market handling, spread warnings, and resolution-rule risk. This adds significant value beyond the annotations (readOnlyHint, etc.) which are consistent.

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 very long and dense, containing multiple paragraphs of technical details. While the content is valuable, it could be streamlined. The core purpose is front-loaded, but subsequent sections (e.g., RESOLVER CONTRACT, PARENT_EVENT EXTRACTOR) are verbose. Shorter sentences and clearer sectioning would improve conciseness.

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 (3 parameters, no output schema, intricate behavior), the description is exceptionally complete. It covers market matching confidence, fan-out examples, response shapes, parent events, news fallback, safety, spread handling, and cancellation rules. All essential behaviors are documented, compensating for the lack of output schema.

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 clear descriptions for all three parameters. The tool description adds extra context: market parameter can be slug, URL, or question text; depth describes enum values; include_raw explains response size trade-offs. While the schema already covers basics, the description enriches understanding without redundancy.

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: 'Research a Polymarket bet by pulling the relevant Pipeworx data for it in one call.' It specifies the action (research), the resource (Polymarket bet), and the outcome (evidence packet + comparison). It also provides usage examples and distinguishes itself from sibling tools through its unique focus on Polymarket bet analysis.

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 states when to use the tool: 'Use for "should I bet on X", "what does the data say about Y", or "is there edge in Z".' It also provides guidance on inspecting market_match_confidence before trusting analysis. However, it lacks explicit when-not-to-use instructions or direct comparisons to sibling tools like polymarket_edges.

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, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint. The description adds substantial behavioral context: data sources (SEC EDGAR/XBRL for companies, FAERS/drug databases for drugs), specific metrics pulled (revenue, net income, cash, debt), and correct handling of off-calendar fiscal years. Result sorting by primary metric is also disclosed.

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 dense but well-structured, front-loading common query patterns and then detailing behavior per type. Every sentence adds value, though the length is slightly above average. It earns a 4 because it efficiently packs information 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 the tool's complexity and lack of output schema, the description provides a fair overview of return data ('paired data + pipeworx:// citation URIs per entity') and sorting. It does not detail the exact response structure, but the agent can infer it from the purpose. The description is complete enough for effective use.

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 enriches the schema with domain-specific guidance. For the 'type' parameter, it specifies what data is pulled for each enum value. For the 'values' parameter, it provides concrete examples (tickers/CIKs for companies, drug names for drugs) and clarifies constraints (2–5 items). This goes well beyond the bare 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 clearly states the tool performs side-by-side comparisons of 2–5 companies or drugs. It lists natural language triggers ('compare X and Y', 'X vs Y', 'which is bigger') and distinguishes its parallel-call approach from sequential lookups, effectively differentiating it from sibling tools like entity_profile.

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 'ALWAYS PREFER over sequential single-pack lookups when comparing entities', providing a clear when-to-use directive. It also gives query examples and explains the two entity types. Absent is a direct mention of when not to use it (e.g., if only one entity is needed), but the statement 'Replaces 8–15 sequential lookups' implies its suitability for multi-entity comparisons.

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 safe read-only, idempotent, open-world behavior. Description adds verbatim evidence, confidence, source, citation, and gaps, plus time expectation (15-60s) and account requirements.

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?

Information-rich but slightly verbose; however, well-structured with clear sections. Every sentence adds value.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false. The description adds value by explaining the return format ('top-N most relevant tools with names, descriptions, and full input schemas') and the 'ready to call directly' behavior. No contradictions 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?

The description is front-loaded with the main purpose and key usage instruction. However, listing many domains in the first sentence makes it slightly less concise than it could be. Still, every sentence adds value.

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?

No output schema is provided, so the description covers the return structure (names, descriptions, schemas) adequately. It also explains the tool's role as a first-step discovery tool, which is sufficient for this context.

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 examples ('look up FDA drug approvals', 'analyze housing market trends') and mentions that the query accepts natural language and aliases, which adds practical value beyond the schema descriptions.

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 explicitly states 'Find tools by describing the data or task' and lists specific domains (SEC filings, financials, etc.), making the purpose clear and distinct from sibling tools. It also advises calling this tool first when many tools are available.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description says 'Use when you need to browse, search, look up, or discover what tools exist' and 'Call this FIRST when you have many tools and want to see the option set,' providing clear usage context. It does not explicitly state when not to use or list alternatives, but the guidance is strong enough to differentiate from siblings.

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 readOnly, openWorld, idempotent, and non-destructive. The description adds detailed behavior: fans out across SEC EDGAR, XBRL, USPTO, news, GLEIF; returns specific fields (filings with URIs, fundamentals sorted), notes USPTO soft-fail (sunset May 2025), and mentions news fallback. No contradiction.

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 moderately long but efficiently packs essential usage context, examples, and behavioral details. Front-loaded with examples, then details on sources and returns. Could trim slightly but overall 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 the tool's complexity (multiple data sources, no output schema), the description thoroughly explains the output structure (cik, company_name, recent_filings, fundamentals, patents, news, LEI) and failure modes (soft-fail, fallback). Sufficient for an agent to understand returns.

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 both parameters described. The description reinforces constraints (ticker or CIK only, no names, zero-padded CIK) and adds context that type is limited to 'company'. This adds value 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?

The description uses multiple examples ('Tell me about X', 'research Acme', etc.) and explicitly states it provides 'full cross-source profile of a US public company in ONE parallel call.' It clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like resolve_entity (for names) and compare_entities.

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?

It directly instructs to 'ALWAYS PREFER over chaining single-pack SEC/XBRL/news lookups' for holistic views. It also clarifies input restrictions: 'Pass ticker or zero-padded CIK — names not supported (use resolve_entity first).'

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?

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, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint=false. The description adds behavioral context: it fetches the URL, extracts content, and emits standard markdown. While it doesn't cover rate limits or potential blocking, it aligns with the annotations and provides sufficient transparency for an agent.

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 compact: three sentences covering purpose, mechanism, and use cases. It is front-loaded with the primary action, followed by supporting details. No redundant or unnecessary sentences.

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?

With only 2 parameters (both described), no output schema, and simple read-only behavior, the description adequately explains what the tool does and what it returns ('single text blob'). It does not cover error handling or edge cases (e.g., unreachable URL), but given the tool's simplicity, it is reasonably complete.

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 schema covers both parameters with descriptions (100% coverage). The description mentions 'fetches the page, extracts title/description/key links' but does not add meaning beyond what the schema already provides for 'url' and 'max_links'. The default (25) and max (50) for max_links are implied in the schema description, so no extra value.

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 'generate', the resource 'llms.txt file for any URL', and the specific outcome: a production-ready file for AI crawlers. It lists concrete actions (fetches, extracts, emits) and explicitly distinguishes from siblings by naming use cases like 'getting a client's site indexed by AI' versus alternative audit tools like scan_competitor_ai_presence.

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 clear use cases: getting a client site indexed, drafting for own project, or auditing a competitor. It tells when to use the tool, but does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternatives among siblings (e.g., scan_competitor_ai_presence for deeper audits). This is a minor omission.

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 safe read operation. Description adds specific return details (defense, elemental resistances, skill slots) and mentions practical use case, providing value beyond annotations without contradiction.

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 concise sentences: first states purpose, second adds return details. No wasted words, front-loaded with core functionality.

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?

Tool is simple with one parameter and output schema present. Description mentions key return fields, which is sufficient given the schema and annotations. Complete for a read-only lookup 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?

Only one optional parameter 'limit' with full schema description (100% coverage). The tool description adds no further detail about the parameter, which is acceptable as the schema already documents it.

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 verb 'Find', resource 'armor', and scope 'by rank and type'. It also lists specific return fields, effectively distinguishing it from sibling tools like get_weapons and get_monsters.

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?

Implicitly clear that this tool is for armor queries, but lacks explicit guidance on when not to use it or alternatives. Sibling tool names provide context, but no direct 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 read-only, idempotent, non-destructive behavior. The description adds value by detailing the specific data returned (species, elements, ailments, weaknesses), which is useful beyond the 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, clear sentence that efficiently conveys purpose and output. No 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?

Given the presence of an output schema and comprehensive annotations, the description provides sufficient context about what the tool returns and its intended use, making it complete for an AI agent.

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 100% coverage with a clear description for the only parameter (limit). The tool description does not mention the parameter, so it adds no extra meaning. 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 searches for monsters by name or type and specifies the returned data (species, elements, ailments, weaknesses), which distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_armor or get_weapons.

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 usage for hunt planning, but does not explicitly state when to use versus alternatives or provide exclusions. However, the context of sibling tools makes the purpose clear.

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?

The description contradicts the actual behavior: it says 'look up by name', but the schema only supports a limit, implying a simple list. Annotations (readOnlyHint, idempotentHint) are present and consistent with read operations, but the description adds a false impression of searching capability, which harms transparency.

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, which is concise. However, the inaccuracy ('by name') undermines its effectiveness. It is structured appropriately but fails to convey correct usage.

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 (1 optional parameter, output schema present, annotations clear), the description should accurately describe the tool's operation. It fails to do so by misrepresenting the input mechanism, leaving the agent without proper context for invocation.

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% for the single 'limit' parameter, which has a clear description. However, the tool description adds no value for this parameter and instead introduces a misleading 'by name' pattern that doesn't exist in the schema. This reduces clarity rather than enhancing it.

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 'Look up', the resource 'Monster Hunter World skills', and the output details (descriptions, max ranks, level-by-level effects). It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like get_armor, get_monsters, and get_weapons.

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 claims the tool looks up skills 'by name', but the input schema only has a 'limit' parameter with no name parameter. No guidance is provided on when to use this list tool versus alternatives. The description's claim about name lookup is misleading and unsupported.

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 provide strong behavioral hints (readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive). The description adds context about returned fields (damage, elements, rarity) but does not disclose additional behaviors like pagination or ordering. 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, well-structured sentence that front-loads the action and resource. Every word contributes meaning—no fluff or 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 the existence of an output schema, the description adequately covers the tool's purpose and return fields. Combined with rich annotations, it is nearly complete. Minor improvement could be mentioning if weapons are sorted or if there is pagination.

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 clear descriptions for both parameters. The description's reference to 'by type' adds no new meaning beyond the schema's 'type' property description. As schema does the heavy lifting, baseline score of 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 verb 'browse', the resource 'Monster Hunter World weapons', and the purpose: filtering by type and returning damage, elements, and rarity. It effectively distinguishes this tool from siblings like 'get_armor' or 'get_monsters'.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right 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?

The description provides clear usage context (competitive AI-marketing audits) and an example question, but does not explicitly mention when not to use or list alternative sibling tools. The guidance is implied rather than stated.

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?

The description discloses significant behavioral traits beyond annotations: partial failures degrade gracefully, bundlephobia may take 5-30s on first measurement, and sources_failed will list timeout failures. It also details the return structure, which is not in 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 informative and front-loaded with the main purpose. Each sentence adds value, though it is slightly verbose. Could be trimmed slightly without losing meaning.

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, the description fully explains the return values: summary fields, per-advisory detail, links, alternative versions, and error handling. It covers all essential aspects of the tool's behavior and output.

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 schema already describes both parameters well. The description adds minimal extra meaning beyond purpose context, so 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's purpose: a composite check for whether to add an npm package, aggregating data from deps.dev and bundlephobia. It specifies the verb 'scan' and resource 'dependency' and distinguishes from sibling tools by focusing on npm packages.

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 states when to use: for questions about safety, popularity, size, or cost of adding a package. It also provides an exclusion for other ecosystems (PyPI, Maven, etc.) and directs to deps.dev:version directly. This is clear 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?

Beyond annotations (readOnlyHint, etc.), the description reveals truncation at 200K chars, embedding model (BGE-base-en), cosine similarity over 500-char windows, return of top-N passages with offsets and scores. 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?

Description is a single dense paragraph that front-loads purpose and usage. It is concise but could be broken into bullet points for better readability. Still effective.

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?

No output schema, but the description explains return values (passages with offsets and scores) and edge cases (truncation). It also mentions pairing with a specific sibling tool, making it complete for its purpose.

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 descriptions are adequate. The description adds value by explaining the query as natural-language with examples, and mentioning truncation for text. Slightly redundant but still helpful.

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 'Semantic search INSIDE a fetched record' with a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from siblings by mentioning pairing with ask_pipeworx_grounded and specifying when to use (record too big for prompt).

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: 'Use when the record is too big to cram into the prompt' and 'Pairs with ask_pipeworx_grounded: fetch with the gateway, ground over the relevant passages instead of the whole document.' This tells when to use and suggests an alternative approach.

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 idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false. Description adds non-obvious behaviors: OAuth requirement, per-type parameter, delivery limits (10/day SMS), webhook secret returned once, and auto-disable after 10 failures. 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 somewhat long but efficiently packed with crucial details. Front-loaded with purpose, then organized by type and delivery. Every sentence adds value; minor redundancy possible but overall good.

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 (multiple types, nested delivery object, auth, rate limits, no output schema), the description covers all essential aspects: return value, prerequisites, type-specifics, and edge cases (webhook secret, auto-disable).

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 description adds rich context: examples for each type (e.g., sec_8k items codes), delivery object explanation (webhook HMAC signing), and constraints (phone must be verified). Greatly enhances 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 clearly states it creates a proactive monitoring subscription and returns the subscription id. It distinguishes from siblings like list_subscriptions, unsubscribe, and recent_alerts by focusing on creation and live-data streams.

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 context: requires Pipeworx OAuth account, lists supported types with parameters, and delivery channels with limitations. No explicit when-not-to-use, but the detail is sufficient for an agent to decide.

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 idempotent, readOnly, non-destructive. The description adds that it returns example questions and can be focused by topic, but does not contradict or add significant behavioral traits beyond purpose. It is transparent about its behavior.

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 long. It is well-front-loaded with the purpose and common queries, and structured with parameter usage at the end. Every sentence adds value, but could be tightened slightly without losing clarity.

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?

The description fully explains what the tool returns (category-bucketed example questions with exact tool usage), when to use it (first time onboarding), and how to use the optional parameter. Without an output schema, this is sufficient for an agent to understand and invoke the tool 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?

The schema provides 100% coverage for the only parameter 'topic' with a description of possible values. The description adds value by elaborating on usage (omit for spread, provide topic to focus) and listing sample topics, expanding on the schema's information.

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 returns category-bucketed example questions with exact tool and argument shapes, distinguishing it as an onboarding entry point. It answers common user intents like 'what can I ask?' and specifies it draws from a live catalog.

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

Beyond annotations (readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true), the description adds that ownership is enforced and the row is deactivated not deleted, keeping historical events available. This provides crucial behavioral context for a mutation tool.

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 with no redundancy. The first sentence states the action and constraint, the second explains the side effect. 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 the simplicity (one parameter, no output schema), the description fully covers purpose, usage constraints, and behavioral details. No gaps remain for this 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?

The schema covers the parameter 'id' fully (100% coverage). The description adds value by stating 'by id' and linking to subscribe's output, indicating the source of the id. This enhances understanding 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?

The single parameter 'claim' has full schema coverage (100%). The description adds value by providing examples of natural-language claims and clarifying the expected format, enriching the schema's 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 specifies the verb (verify/fact-check) and resource (natural-language claims against authoritative sources). It distinguishes from siblings by focusing on claim verification and highlighting its efficiency (replaces 4-6 sequential calls). Domain and data source are explicitly stated.

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 states when to use the tool ('whenever the agent needs to check whether something a user said is factually correct') and provides domain constraints (company-financial claims). While it does not explicitly state when not to use it or name alternative sibling tools for non-financial claims, the domain restriction is clear enough.

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