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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden. It usefully discloses that task text is discarded and that the result is informational content, but it does not mention side effects, cost implications, errors, or behavior when no matching gateway is found.

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?

Three short sentences: purpose, return value, and a key behavioral note. The description is tight, front-loaded, and every sentence adds information without redundancy.

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?

The description lists what is returned and notes discarded task text, but with 9 optional parameters and no output schema, an agent still lacks guidance on what to pass (if anything) and how the tool determines results. More context about invocation or fallback behavior would be needed for full completeness.

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 baseline is 3. Each parameter is individually described and many include the important 'discarded after shape check' note. The main description adds only the high-level 'task text discarded' clarification; it does not explain how the parameters relate to finding the gateway.

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 names a specific action ('Find'), resource ('public pay-per-call tool gateway (Monid)'), and output ('CLI setup, how-it-works, skill file, and remote MCP hops'). This is distinct from sibling tools like validate-json or normalize-url, so an agent can tell it apart without inspecting schemas.

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 the tool is for discovering/retrieving Monid gateway documentation, and the sibling list shows it is not a validator or check. However, there are no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use conditions, and no alternative tools are named.

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