C2/5.0
Behavior1/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only says it is a catalog, but the input schema includes unrelated parameters (url, host, json, zone) that suggest additional behavior (normalization, validation, timezone checks). The description does not disclose what the tool does with these inputs, whether it is read-only, what it returns, or any side effects. This is a significant gap.

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

Conciseness2/5

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

The description is very short (one sentence), which is concise, but it is under-specified and lacks structure. It does not front-load key information or provide any context about the tool's behavior or parameters. Conciseness is not the issue; the problem is that the description is too sparse to be useful.

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 4 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is woefully incomplete. It does not explain how the parameters are used, what the tool returns, or how it relates to the stated purpose. An agent would not know how to call this tool correctly or interpret results. The description fails to cover essential operational details.

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?

The schema has 100% description coverage for parameters, but the tool description adds no value in explaining them. The parameters (url, host, json, zone) appear completely unrelated to HTTP status codes, creating confusion. The description does not help map these parameters to the tool's stated purpose, and the schema descriptions themselves may not clarify how they relate to a status code catalog.

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 states the tool is a 'Short catalog of common HTTP status codes', which conveys a subject matter but not an action. It lacks a clear verb (like 'list', 'return', or 'get') and does not explain how the tool operates or what it does with input. It is distinguishable from siblings by topic, but the purpose is still vague.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention any conditions, contexts, or exclusions. The agent is left to infer that it might be useful for HTTP status code lookups, but no explicit instructions exist.

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