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

No annotations provided, so description must carry the burden of behavioral disclosure. Description implies it shows fees/flow/stats, but also mentions actions like 'post tasks, bid, award, settle' without clarifying if this tool performs them or just describes the market. It does not indicate whether the tool is read-only or has side effects.

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 but is overloaded with information: fees, flow, live stats, and a laundry list of market actions. It could be clearer by separating the overview function from the description of the market. While relatively short, it lacks focus.

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 has no parameters, no output schema, and many sibling tools, the description should clarify exactly what information or capability the tool provides. It mentions 'fees, flow, live stats' but does not specify how these are presented or what exactly the agent receives upon calling. The mention of actions like posting tasks and bidding further confuses the scope, making the description incomplete for effective agent 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?

No parameters exist (schema coverage 100%), so description does not need to explain parameters. It adds context about the kind of data (fees, flow, live stats) beyond the empty schema, which helps the agent understand what the tool returns.

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 calls it a 'front door' but then lists a series of actions (post tasks, bid, award, etc.) that are likely performed by sibling tools like 'market_post_task' and 'market_bid'. It does not clearly distinguish whether this tool provides an overview/aggregate data or actually performs those actions. The verb 'Agent Clearing House front door' is vague and does not specify what the tool does beyond showing 'fees, flow, live stats'.

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 guidance on when to use this tool versus the many sibling tools like market_list_tasks, market_post_task, market_bid, etc. An agent has no context to decide when to call market_overview instead of these more specific tools.

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