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

With no annotations, the description must carry the behavioral burden; it does disclose an authority prerequisite, which maps to the authorization_attestation requirement and is genuinely behavioral. It does not disclose side effects, reversibility, rate limits, or the nature of the returned quote.

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 short sentences, front-loaded with the action and followed by the gating conditions; no filler. Slightly terse for the amount of undocumented parameter surface, but nothing is wasted.

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 4-parameter tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is thin: it omits return/quote semantics, the meaning of request and deliverables, and how it relates to sibling tools such as request_service or task_capabilities.

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 0% across 4 parameters, so the description must compensate. It loosely hints at target_scope and authorization_attestation, but the required `request` parameter and the `deliverables` array are entirely unexplained in both schema and 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?

States a concrete verb pair ("Classify and price") and resource ("a bounded task"), so the agent knows the operation. However, it does no work to distinguish itself from siblings such as request_service or list_offers.

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?

"Requires authority to commission the work and a target scope" implies prerequisites and therefore the context in which the tool is valid. But there is no explicit when-to-use/when-not-to-use and no mention of alternative tools like request_service for non-quoting paths.

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