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

Annotations show readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false, and the description adds that the tool creates the account and returns an onboarding URL. It also mentions the need for a connected account. There is no contradiction. The description provides additional behavioral context beyond annotations.

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?

The description is three concise sentences, with the main action first, followed by side effects and prerequisites. Every sentence adds value and there is no redundancy or fluff.

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?

While the description covers the main action and prerequisites, it lacks explanation of the input parameter and the return value (no output schema). Given the tool's complexity (creating a Stripe account), more details about the process or error conditions would be beneficial.

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?

The single parameter 'return_path' has 0% schema description coverage, and the description does not explain its purpose or allowed values. Since schema coverage is low, the description should compensate but fails to do so. The parameter is left undocumented in the description.

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 description clearly states the tool gets a Stripe Connect onboarding link, creates the Stripe account, and returns the onboarding URL. It distinguishes from siblings by specifying its role in enabling payouts for ticket sales, which is a unique purpose among many sibling tools.

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?

The description includes explicit usage guidance: 'Check get_account_status first' and 'Requires a connected account.' This helps the agent know prerequisites and when to call this tool. However, it could be more explicit about when not to use it (e.g., if account already connected).

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