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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It explains the tool's core behavior (natural language processing, automatic tool selection, argument filling) and provides examples, but lacks details on limitations, error handling, data sources, or response formats. For a tool with no annotation coverage, this leaves significant gaps in understanding its operational boundaries.

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 structured: first sentence states the core functionality, second explains the automation benefit, third provides usage guidance, and final sentence gives concrete examples. Every sentence adds value with zero redundant information, making it easy to parse quickly.

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 annotations and no output schema, the description adequately explains the tool's purpose and usage but lacks details about return values, error conditions, or limitations. For a single-parameter tool with high schema coverage, the description is minimally complete but would benefit from more behavioral context about what constitutes valid questions or how results are structured.

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 has 100% description coverage for its single parameter ('question'), so the baseline is 3. The description adds value by emphasizing 'plain English' and 'natural language' in the context, and provides concrete examples that illustrate the expected parameter format beyond the schema's generic 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 states the tool's purpose: 'Ask a question in plain English and get an answer from the best available data source.' It specifies the verb ('ask'), resource ('answer'), and mechanism ('Pipeworx picks the right tool'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like search_players or get_league_table that target specific data types.

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 this tool: 'No need to browse tools or learn schemas — just describe what you need.' It provides clear alternatives (implicitly suggesting other tools for structured queries) and includes concrete examples like 'What is the US trade deficit with China?' to illustrate appropriate 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?

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It mentions the tool returns 'the most relevant tools with names and descriptions' and suggests calling it first for large catalogs, but lacks details on rate limits, authentication needs, error handling, or exact matching behavior. It adds some context but not comprehensive behavioral traits.

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 appropriately sized and front-loaded, with two sentences that efficiently convey purpose and usage guidelines. Every sentence earns its place without redundancy or waste.

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 moderate complexity (search function with 2 parameters), no annotations, and no output schema, the description is fairly complete. It covers purpose, usage context, and basic behavior, but could benefit from more details on output format or error cases to be fully comprehensive.

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 both parameters (query and limit). The description adds minimal value beyond the schema, mentioning 'describing what you need' which aligns with the query parameter but doesn't provide additional syntax or format details. Baseline 3 is appropriate as the schema does the heavy lifting.

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 with specific verbs ('Search', 'Returns') and resource ('Pipeworx tool catalog'), distinguishing it from siblings like get_last_events or search_players. It explicitly mentions searching by describing needs and returning relevant tools with names and descriptions.

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 guidance on when to use this tool: 'Call this FIRST when you have 500+ tools available and need to find the right ones for your task.' This gives clear context for usage versus alternatives, though it doesn't name specific sibling tools.

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?

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. 'Delete' implies a destructive mutation, but it doesn't disclose whether deletion is permanent, requires specific permissions, has side effects, or what happens on success/failure. This is a significant gap for a mutation tool with zero annotation coverage.

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, efficient sentence with zero waste. It's front-loaded with the core action and resource, making it immediately scannable and appropriately sized for a simple tool.

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 destructive tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It lacks crucial context like what 'stored memory' refers to, deletion consequences, error handling, or return values. This leaves significant gaps for an AI agent to use it 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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, with the parameter 'key' documented as 'Memory key to delete'. The description adds no additional meaning beyond this, such as key format, examples, or constraints. With high schema coverage, baseline 3 is appropriate as the schema does the heavy lifting.

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 ('Delete') and resource ('a stored memory by key'), making the purpose immediately understandable. It doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'recall' or 'remember', but the verb 'Delete' strongly implies a destructive operation distinct from retrieval or storage.

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. With sibling tools like 'recall' (likely for retrieval) and 'remember' (likely for storage), there's no indication of prerequisites, when deletion is appropriate, or what happens if the key doesn't exist.

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?

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states the return fields (event name, date, teams, scores, league) but omits critical behavioral details such as error handling, rate limits, authentication requirements, data freshness, or whether results are paginated. For a read operation with zero annotation coverage, this leaves significant gaps.

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, efficient sentence that front-loads the core purpose and includes essential return details. Every word earns its place with zero redundancy, making it highly concise and well-structured for quick comprehension.

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 low complexity (one parameter, no output schema, no annotations), the description is minimally adequate. It covers the basic purpose and return fields, but lacks completeness in behavioral context (e.g., error cases, limits) and usage guidelines. Without annotations or output schema, the description should do more to compensate, but it meets a bare-minimum threshold.

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 input schema fully documents the single required parameter (team_id). The description adds no additional parameter semantics beyond what the schema provides—it doesn't explain format constraints, provide examples beyond the schema's example, or clarify parameter interactions. Baseline 3 is appropriate when the schema handles parameter documentation.

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 specific action ('Get the last 15 events/matches'), resource ('played by a team'), and scope ('last 15'), distinguishing it from siblings like get_next_events (future events) and get_league_table (standings). It precisely defines what the tool does without being vague or tautological.

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 retrieving recent match history for a team, but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like search_teams or get_next_events. It lacks any mention of prerequisites, exclusions, or comparative context with sibling tools.

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?

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It mentions the return data structure but lacks behavioral details such as whether this is a read-only operation, potential rate limits, authentication requirements, or error handling. The description provides basic output info but misses key operational context.

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, efficient sentence that front-loads the purpose and details the return values without unnecessary words. Every part earns its place, making it easy to parse and understand quickly.

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 annotations and no output schema, the description provides the purpose and return structure but lacks completeness for a read operation. It does not cover error cases, data freshness, or pagination, leaving gaps in operational context that could aid 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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents both parameters (league_id and season) with examples. The description adds no additional parameter semantics beyond what the schema provides, such as format constraints or usage tips, meeting the baseline for high schema coverage.

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 ('Get') and resource ('current standings/table for a league and season'), specifying the exact data returned (team, played, wins, etc.). It distinguishes itself from siblings like get_last_events or search_players by focusing on league standings rather than events or player/team searches.

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 retrieving league standings, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like get_last_events or search_teams. No exclusions or specific contexts are provided, leaving usage inferred rather than guided.

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?

With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It states the tool returns specific data fields and limits results to 'next 15' events, which is useful context. However, it doesn't mention error handling, rate limits, authentication needs, or whether this is a read-only operation (though implied by 'Get').

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 efficiently conveys purpose, scope, and return data without unnecessary words. Every element earns its place.

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 read operation with one parameter and no output schema, the description adequately covers the core functionality. However, without annotations or output schema, it lacks details on error cases, pagination (implied by 'next 15'), or full behavioral context, making it minimally 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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents the single 'team_id' parameter with its format example. The description doesn't add any parameter-specific information beyond what's in the schema, but with high coverage, the baseline is 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 action ('Get'), the resource ('next 15 upcoming events/matches for a team'), and the return data ('event name, date, home team, away team, and league'). It distinguishes from 'get_last_events' by specifying 'upcoming' vs. past events, but doesn't explicitly differentiate from other siblings like 'get_league_table' beyond the resource type.

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 retrieving upcoming team events, but doesn't explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'get_last_events' for past events or 'search_teams' for team information. No guidance on exclusions or prerequisites is provided.

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?

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It discloses key behavioral traits: the tool can retrieve individual memories by key or list all memories, and it works across sessions (not just current session). It doesn't mention error handling, permissions, or rate limits, but covers the core functionality 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?

Two sentences with zero waste. First sentence states the dual functionality (retrieve by key or list all). Second sentence provides usage context. Every word earns its place, and the structure is 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?

For a simple retrieval tool with 1 optional parameter and no output schema, the description is quite complete. It explains what the tool does, when to use it, and parameter behavior. The main gap is lack of output format details, but given the tool's simplicity, this is acceptable.

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 has 100% description coverage, so baseline is 3. The description adds meaningful context: it explains the semantic effect of omitting the key parameter ('omit to list all keys') and connects the parameter to retrieving 'context you saved earlier,' which provides purpose beyond the schema's technical specification.

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 with specific verbs ('retrieve', 'list') and resources ('previously stored memory', 'all stored memories'). It distinguishes from siblings like 'remember' (store) and 'forget' (delete) by focusing on retrieval operations.

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 usage guidance: 'Use this to retrieve context you saved earlier in the session or in previous sessions.' It also specifies when to omit the key parameter ('omit key to list all keys'), giving clear operational instructions.

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?

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It effectively describes key traits: the tool performs a write operation ('Store'), specifies persistence behavior ('Authenticated users get persistent memory; anonymous sessions last 24 hours'), and hints at session scope. It does not cover aspects like error handling or rate limits, but it adds substantial value beyond basic purpose.

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 appropriately sized and front-loaded: the first sentence states the core action, the second provides usage context, and the third adds behavioral details. Every sentence earns its place with no wasted words, making it efficient and easy to parse.

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 moderate complexity (a write operation with session memory), no annotations, and no output schema, the description is largely complete. It covers purpose, usage, and key behavioral traits like persistence. However, it lacks details on return values or error cases, which would be helpful for full contextual understanding.

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 both parameters ('key' and 'value') with examples. The description does not add any syntax, format, or constraints beyond what the schema provides (e.g., it doesn't elaborate on key naming rules or value limitations). Baseline 3 is appropriate when the schema does the heavy lifting.

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 specific verb ('Store') and resource ('key-value pair in your session memory'), and distinguishes from siblings like 'recall' (which retrieves) and 'forget' (which removes). It explicitly mentions what gets stored ('intermediate findings, user preferences, or context across tool calls'), making the purpose distinct and well-defined.

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 context for when to use this tool ('to save intermediate findings, user preferences, or context across tool calls'), which implicitly differentiates it from retrieval or deletion tools. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or name alternatives (e.g., 'recall' for retrieval), so it falls short of a perfect score.

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?

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It mentions the return fields (name, team, nationality, etc.), which is helpful, but lacks critical behavioral details: it doesn't specify whether this is a read-only operation, how results are sorted/limited, error conditions, or authentication requirements. For a search tool with zero annotation coverage, this leaves significant gaps in understanding how the tool behaves.

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 appropriately concise with two sentences: the first states the purpose, and the second lists return fields. It's front-loaded with the core functionality, and every sentence adds value (the return fields info is useful since there's no output schema). However, it could be slightly more structured by separating usage notes from output details.

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 moderate complexity (search function with one parameter) and lack of annotations/output schema, the description is minimally adequate. It covers the basic purpose and return fields, but misses behavioral aspects like result limits, error handling, or performance characteristics. For a search tool, this leaves the agent with incomplete context 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 the single parameter 'query' documented as 'Player name or partial name to search for.' The description adds minimal value beyond this, only restating 'by name' without providing additional context like search sensitivity, format expectations, or examples. Since the schema does the heavy lifting, the 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: 'Search for players by name' specifies the verb (search) and resource (players). It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'search_teams' by focusing on players rather than teams, though it doesn't explicitly contrast with other player-related tools (none exist in the sibling list). The description is specific but could be more precise about scope limitations.

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 context through 'Search for players by name,' suggesting this tool is for finding players when you have partial name information. However, it provides no explicit guidance on when to use this versus alternatives like 'search_teams' or other sibling tools, nor does it mention any prerequisites or exclusions. Usage is implied but not clearly articulated.

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?

With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It mentions the return fields (team name, sport, league, etc.), which is helpful, but doesn't describe critical behaviors like pagination, rate limits, error conditions, or whether this is a read-only operation. For a search tool with zero annotation coverage, this leaves significant gaps in understanding how the tool behaves.

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 appropriately concise with two sentences that efficiently convey the tool's purpose and return format. It's front-loaded with the core functionality. However, the second sentence listing return fields could be slightly more structured (e.g., using a bulleted format in the actual implementation), though this is minor.

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 moderate complexity (search operation with 1 parameter) and no output schema, the description provides basic completeness by stating purpose and return fields. However, it lacks important context about search behavior (fuzzy matching, case sensitivity), result limits, and error handling. With no annotations and no output schema, the description should do more to compensate.

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 fully documents the single 'query' parameter. The description adds no additional parameter information beyond what's in the schema. According to scoring rules, when schema coverage is high (>80%), the baseline is 3 even with no param info in the 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 states the tool's purpose with specific verb ('Search for') and resource ('sports teams'), and specifies the search criteria ('by name'). It distinguishes from siblings like 'search_players' by focusing on teams rather than players. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from other team-related tools that might exist in a broader context.

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 doesn't mention when to use 'search_teams' versus 'get_league_table' or 'search_players', nor does it provide any context about prerequisites, limitations, or typical use cases. The agent must infer usage from the tool name alone.

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