Description clearly states the tool is the onboarding entry point for new agents, listing specific categories of example questions and distinguishing itself from sibling tools like ask_pipeworx and discover_tools.

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 instructs to use this FIRST when unsure of Pipeworx capabilities, and for learning how to call meta-tools. Provides guidance on omitting vs passing 'topic'.

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, idempotentHint, etc., making the tool's safety clear. The description adds value by stating it returns an image URL showing rendered layout and visual content, which complements the 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?

The description is a single, front-loaded sentence that efficiently conveys the tool's purpose and output. No wasted 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 tool's simplicity (one required parameter, existing output schema), the description covers everything needed: what it does, what it returns, and why to use it. No gaps.

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 does not add additional meaning beyond what the schema provides for the 'url' parameter. Baseline 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?

Description uses specific verb 'capture' and resource 'screenshot of any webpage', clearly stating the tool's function. It also provides the use case (verify page state or design). No sibling tool performs this exact action, so it is well-distinguished.

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 gives a clear context for use ('to verify page state or design'), but it does not explicitly mention when not to use it or suggest alternatives among siblings. It is adequate but slightly lacks exclusion 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?

The description adds crucial details beyond annotations: 'The row is deactivated (not deleted) so its historical events stay available via recent_alerts.' This explains the non-destructive, soft-deactivation behavior, which is not evident from annotations alone.

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 totaling 31 words, with no wasted words. The action and identifier are front-loaded, and every sentence adds necessary context.

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 (one parameter, no output schema), the description fully covers purpose, ownership, ID source, and behavioral impact (deactivation vs. deletion). It is complete 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?

The schema provides 100% coverage for the 'id' parameter. The description adds that the ID is a UUID returned by 'subscribe,' linking it to the sibling tool and clarifying its source, thus enriching the parameter's meaning.

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 'Cancel' and the resource 'a subscription by id,' specifying the exact action. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'subscribe' and 'list_subscriptions'.

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 ownership enforcement: 'you can only cancel your own subscriptions,' providing a clear condition for when to use the tool. However, it does not mention when not to use or list alternatives like using 'unsubscribe' vs. 'deactivate' or contacting 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 provide readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint=false, indicating safe, non-destructive behavior. The description adds significant behavioral context by detailing the return format (verdict, structured form, actual value with citation, percent delta) and the supported claim domain (company-financial via SEC EDGAR + XBRL). 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 efficiently front-loaded with common usage patterns in quotes, followed by a clear purpose statement and specific details. Every sentence provides essential information without redundancy. It is appropriately sized for the tool's complexity.

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 lacking an output schema, the description fully compensates by listing all return fields (verdict, structured form, actual value, citation, percent delta). Combined with annotations and input schema, it provides a complete understanding for correct agent 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% with a single parameter 'claim' described in the schema as a natural-language factual claim. The description adds meaning by specifying the supported claim types (company-financial) and providing concrete examples, which enriches the semantic understanding 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 explicitly states the tool's core function: natural-language claim verification against authoritative sources for company-financial claims. It provides usage examples like 'Is it true that...' and 'fact check', making the purpose immediately clear. While it doesn't directly contrast with sibling tools, the specificity about domain and replacement of sequential calls sufficiently distinguishes it.

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?

Clear guidance is given: 'Use whenever the agent needs to check whether something a user said is factually correct.' The description also notes that v1 supports only company-financial claims, implying when not to use (e.g., non-financial claims). However, it does not explicitly mention alternative tools for unsupported domains, which would earn a 5.

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