Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given full schema coverage and presence of output schema, the description is sufficient. It explains what the tool does, available filters, and return fields. No missing information for a search 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 description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all parameters. Description lists some parameters but does not add meaning beyond the schema. 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 clearly states verb 'Search' and resource 'regulatory dockets', enumerates filter options (query, agency, docket_type, date range) and return fields (title, agency, type, status, document counts). Distinguishes from sibling tools like get_docket, list_documents, search_comments.

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 explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. Does not mention when to avoid search_dockets in favor of more specific tools like get_docket or list_documents.

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?

Adds substantial behavioral detail beyond annotations: embedding model (BGE-base-en), cosine similarity over 500-char overlapping windows, 200K char cap with truncation flag, and per-passage offsets for verbatim verification. Annotations already indicate read-only and idempotent, and description complements well.

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?

Every sentence adds value, structured with purpose, usage guidance, pairing, and technical details. Front-loaded, no redundancy, and appropriately sized for the information conveyed.

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?

Covers purpose, usage, behavior, parameter semantics, and return value description (passages with offsets and scores). No output schema, but description fills that gap. Annotations provide additional safety signals. Complete for a tool of this 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?

Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. Description adds examples for query and mentions output format, but does not introduce new parameter-specific semantics beyond what the schema already provides.

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 performs semantic search inside a fetched record, specifying the resource (text) and action. It distinguishes from siblings by mentioning pairing with ask_pipeworx_grounded and emphasizing context saving.

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 the record is too big to cram into the prompt' and mentions pairing with an alternative tool. Provides clear context but does not explicitly state when not to use it.

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 behavioral context beyond annotations: OAuth requirement, auto-disabling of webhooks after 10 failures, phone verification prerequisite. Annotations indicate idempotentHint=true, which aligns with the description's implication that subscriptions can be safely re-created.

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 with clear sections, but it is relatively long. Every sentence adds value; however, slight trimming could improve conciseness without losing essential information.

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 params, nested objects, 5 enum types, multiple delivery channels, and no output schema), the description covers prerequisites, parameter formats, delivery constraints, and behavioral notes comprehensively.

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 the description adds extensive meaning: details for each type's params format, delivery channel options with constraints, and example values. This goes far beyond the schema's generic 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 uses a specific verb ('Create') and resource ('proactive monitoring subscription') and clearly states the return value ('the new subscription id'). It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'list_subscriptions' and 'unsubscribe'.

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 specifies required authentication ('Pipeworx OAuth account'), lists supported types with examples, and mentions constraints (SMS cap, webhook auto-disable). It does not explicitly state when not to use, but the context is clear enough.

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 readonly, idempotent, and nondestructive hints. The description adds value by explaining that the tool returns category-bucketed example questions with exact tool+argument shapes drawn from a live catalog, providing context 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 fairly concise and well-structured: it starts with natural language questions users might ask, then explains purpose, output, and usage. Every sentence adds value, though it could be slightly tightened.

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 adequately explains the return type (category-bucketed examples with tool calls). It covers the tool's role as an onboarding entry point and provides sufficient context for an agent to know when and how to use it.

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 one optional parameter. The description explains the 'topic' parameter with example values ('finance', 'pharma', etc.), adding meaning beyond the schema's description. It clarifies that omitting the topic gives a full spread.

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 is an onboarding entry point that returns category-bucketed example questions with tool+argument shapes. It uses specific verbs ('returns') and distinguishes itself as the first tool to use when the agent doesn't know what Pipeworx can do, differentiating it from sibling tools like 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 you do not yet know what Pipeworx can do for you, or to learn how to call the meta-tools.' Provides context for calling with no arguments or with a topic. Does not mention when not to use, but the guidance is clear and aligned with the tool's purpose.

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 indicate destructiveHint=false, and the description confirms the row is deactivated (not deleted), which is consistent and adds useful behavioral context. It also discloses ownership enforcement, 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?

Two sentences with no wasted words: purpose first, then key behavioral details. Perfectly front-loaded.

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?

For a simple tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description covers purpose, ownership constraint, soft-delete behavior, and connection to related tool ('recent_alerts'). Fully sufficient.

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 doesn't add new information about the 'id' parameter beyond what the schema already provides ('Subscription id (uuid) returned by subscribe'). 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 action ('Cancel a subscription by id') and the specific resource ('subscription'). It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'subscribe' and 'list_subscriptions' by focusing on cancellation.

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'), guiding when to use. It also explains the effect (deactivation not deletion) and points to 'recent_alerts' for historical data, but doesn't explicitly name alternative tools for deletion.

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 readOnly, openWorld, idempotent, and non-destructive behaviors. The description adds detail on returned verdict types, structured form, actual value, and citation format, providing 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?

The description is a single well-structured paragraph that front-loads example queries and core purpose. It is informative without being verbose, though could be slightly more 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 simplicity (single parameter, rich but narrow domain) and absence of an output schema, the description is complete. It explains the tool's function, usage context, return values, and supported claim types adequately.

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 for the single 'claim' parameter has 100% coverage with a description. The tool description enhances this with concrete examples and clarifies the natural-language nature of the claim, adding 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 defines the tool's function as natural-language claim verification against authoritative sources, with specific mention of company-financial claims via SEC EDGAR + XBRL. It distinguishes itself from siblings by noting it replaces multiple sequential calls.

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 factual correctness') and clarifies its domain scope. It does not explicitly state when not to use, but the context is clear enough.

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