B3/5.0

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds one genuinely useful boundary — "Does not execute the external action" — which sets expectations that calling it will not accomplish the underlying task. Beyond that one sentence there is no additional behavioral context.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

It is short and front-loads the purpose, which is good, but the telegraphic noun-phrase fragments ("Browse: ...", "Known MCP endpoint: ...") read as terse notes rather than complete sentences, and the brevity comes at the cost of clarity rather than from eliminating redundancy.

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

Completeness3/5

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

An output schema exists, so return values need not be described, and annotations plus full schema coverage lighten the burden. Still, for a routing/decision tool the description never explains what a triage outcome means or how to interpret the classification, leaving a meaningful gap for the agent.

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?

With a single parameter and 100% schema description coverage ("Public, non-sensitive request to classify"), the schema already carries parameter meaning. The description adds nothing about the request string — not what form a well-formed request takes, nor the non-sensitive constraint — so it stays at the baseline.

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?

"Route a bounded need" gestures at the tool's function but never states plainly that it classifies/triages a request, and "bounded need" is undefined jargon. It does name two sibling tools as onward destinations, which helps differentiate it from discover_capabilities and bursia_verify_mcp, but the core verb+resource remains fuzzy.

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 two routing fragments ("Browse: discover_capabilities", "Known MCP endpoint: bursia_verify_mcp") imply when to skip this tool in favor of siblings, which is real guidance. However, there is no explicit statement of when to call capability_triage itself, what makes a need "bounded," or any exclusion criteria.

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