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

No annotations exist, so the description carries the full burden, and it discloses almost nothing behavioral: no indication of whether contract content is uploaded, parsed, or merely templated, no note on what comes back besides "a prompt pack", and no mention of limits, state, or side effects. Phrases like "you can run today" and "repeatable workflow" are marketing texture, not operational detail.

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?

Only two sentences, but they are front-loaded with promotional copy instead of function; nearly every adjective ("production-ready", "structured", "repeatable") is unfalsifiable filler. Nothing is wasted in length yet almost nothing is spent on information.

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?

With no annotations and no output schema, the description must explain what the tool returns and how it behaves, and it does not. Given a crowded contract-* family, an agent has no basis here for choosing this tool or predicting its output beyond "a prompt pack with examples".

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?

There is a single optional parameter with a complete schema description ("Optional user query to scope the analysis"), so the schema does the explanatory work. The tool description adds nothing about how the query influences the sort output, leaving the baseline of 3 appropriate rather than higher.

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 text largely restates the name ("contract sort tool system") and pads it with positioning language ("production-ready", "for marketing and operations leaders"). It never says what sorting a contract actually means — classifying by type, ordering clauses, triaging by risk — so an agent cannot distinguish it from contract-summary-tool, contract-check-tool, or contract-audit-tool. The only concrete noun is "copy-paste prompt pack with examples", which describes the deliverable format rather than the operation.

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?

There is no when-to-use statement, no prerequisites, and no mention of any sibling tool as an alternative. The only contextual hook is an audience label ("marketing and operations leaders"), which hints at who but not at which task triggers this tool rather than contract-summary-tool or contract-tpl-tool.

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