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

The description discloses two behavioral traits: task text is discarded (privacy note) and the call returns specific artifacts. This adds some transparency beyond the bare 'find' action. However, there are no annotations to fill gaps around side effects, authentication, or rate limits, and the description does not address those either.

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 two sentences and 21 words, with the action verb-led and front-loaded. Each clause earns its place: what the tool does, what it returns, and a privacy-relevant note. No filler or 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?

For a tool with 14 optional parameters and no output schema, the description does not clarify whether arguments are needed at all, which parameter is the primary input, or how the returned artifacts are delivered (inline text, file paths, etc.). The purpose is clear, but an agent could not invoke it confidently without guessing about parameter relevance.

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 already provides description coverage for all 14 optional parameters, including several that state 'discarded after the call.' The tool description only repeats that task text is discarded and does not explain which parameters drive the lookup or whether any are required. It adds no meaning beyond the schema, so the baseline of 3 applies.

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 resource (Monid) and a clear action (find), and lists the returned artifacts (CLI setup, how-it-works, skill file, remote MCP hops). This distinguishes it from all sibling tools, none of which mention Monid or a pay-per-call gateway. It lacks an explicit sibling comparison, so it stops short of a 5.

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 usage context is implied: use this tool when you need information about the Monid gateway. However, it does not state when to prefer this over alternatives like web-fetch or normalize-url, nor does it provide exclusions or prerequisites. This is implied usage rather than explicit guidance.

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