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

No annotations exist, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses 'No identifiers are retained,' which is a privacy trait, but says nothing about side effects, network access, read-only behavior, or what happens to each input. The schema parameter descriptions add some notes (e.g., 'discarded'), but the top-level description remains largely opaque.

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 short sentence, which is efficient in length. However, it is under-specified to the point of vagueness; conciseness without substance does not earn a higher score.

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 9 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is severely incomplete. It doesn't explain what 'classified' means, what the return value is, or how to interpret the result. The agent would be unable to use this tool correctly based solely on the description.

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 each parameter already has a description (e.g., 'discarded after the shape check'). The tool description adds no additional meaning beyond that, and with full schema coverage 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 states 'Show how this request is classified' which names a verb and a resource, but 'classified' is undefined—it doesn't specify what kind of classification (e.g., request type, compatibility check) or what the output looks like. It fails to distinguish from sibling tools like domain-shape or file-path-ok, which also seem to classify inputs.

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 is provided about when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no mention of context, prerequisites, or exclusions, leaving the agent to guess which of the 9 heterogeneous parameters (URL, city, JSON, path, etc.) is relevant for a given request.

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