C2/5.0
Behavior1/5

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

No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose side effects, network/cost implications, or error behavior. Although some parameter descriptions say values are 'discarded', the tool's overall behavior and consequences are not transparent.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The main description is brief and the parameter descriptions are short. There is no obvious redundancy or excessive length, though the repeated 'discarded' phrasing is somewhat unclear.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness1/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With nine optional parameters, no output schema, and no return-format description, the tool description is not sufficient for an agent to invoke it confidently. It lacks instructions on how to map task examples to parameters and what 'connection methods' will look like.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Every parameter has a literal description, but most descriptions focus on being 'discarded' or 'checked' and do not explain how the value contributes to finding a gateway. For example, 'file path to check; no disk access' does not clarify why that parameter exists or how it should be used.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose3/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description identifies a find operation with a target resource ('public pay-per-call tool gateway') and lists example tasks, but the relationship between those tasks and the nine optional input fields is unclear. The phrase 'Task text discarded' is ambiguous and does not clarify how the tool should be invoked.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines1/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance is given about when to use this tool, what conditions favor it over sibling tools, or what prerequisites apply. All nine parameters are optional, but no selection strategy or recommended use case is mentioned.

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