B3.4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the burden of behavioral disclosure. It does disclose a notable behavior ('Values discarded') but does not explain behavior for invalid JSON, empty objects, nested keys, or what output shape to expect.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is two short sentences with no filler, and the main action is front-loaded. Every word earns its place.

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

Completeness2/5

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

The tool has 10 optional parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, yet the description is only a single declarative sentence. It does not say which parameter to use, how the JSON object should be supplied, whether a count is returned, or what happens on invalid input, making the definition incomplete for reliable invocation.

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

Parameters3/5

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. The tool description does not add per-parameter meaning beyond the schema; it only adds a general note about discarding values. It also does not clarify which of the 10 optional string parameters is meant to hold the JSON object.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description states a specific action ('Count keys') and resource ('a JSON object'), and adds a meaningful scoping detail ('Values discarded'). It is not a tautology and gives a clear sense of the tool's purpose, though it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling validation tools.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description implies the tool is used when you need to count top-level keys in a JSON object and do not care about values. However, it gives no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance, and no alternatives are mentioned despite many sibling tools existing.

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