Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds the 'available only' filter and area scoping, but says nothing about result ordering, pagination beyond the limit param, or what an empty result means.
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?
A single front-loaded sentence with no wasted words. It is efficient, though its brevity edges into under-specification given the crowded sibling set.
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 only two optional parameters, annotations covering safety, and no output schema, the description is minimally adequate. It is missing the differentiation from sibling search tools that would make the definition complete.
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 coverage is 100%, so both parameters (limit, area_id) are already fully documented in the schema. The description adds only that results are filtered to availability and to an area, without new syntax or format detail. Baseline 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?
States a verb and resource ('List ... parking spaces') with a scope qualifier ('available', 'in an area'), which is more than a tautology. However, it does not distinguish itself from nearby siblings like search_parkings or check_availability, so an agent cannot tell from the description alone which of these to use.
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 statement of when to use this tool versus search_parkings, search_by_location, or check_availability, all of which appear to return parking-related data. Usage is only implied by the word 'available'.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
