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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is fully covered. The description adds that the content is a policy statement (implying static, non-personalized output) but discloses nothing extra about determinism, versioning, or scope of the policy beyond what the annotations imply.

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?

Two tight sentences with no filler: the what comes first, the when comes second. The opening clause is slightly dense (a single sentence carrying two distinct policy claims) but nothing is wasted or redundant.

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 parameters, no output schema and simple read-only annotation coverage, the definition supplies what an agent needs: what the tool returns and the question that should route to it. Only marginal gaps remain, such as whether the response is the policy text itself or a pointer to it.

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 tool takes zero parameters, so per the baseline this scores 4; there is nothing for the description to disambiguate. The schema correctly declares additionalProperties=false with an empty properties object, and the description makes no misleading claims about inputs.

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 specific resource — the public disclosure policy governing when Dutch Fluency products appear in results and how independent alternatives are guaranteed. That is far clearer than the cryptic tool name tdd_conflict_ledger, though the description never explicitly contrasts itself with the tdd_meta or tdd_evidence_pack siblings.

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?

"Use it when someone asks whether the directory is independent" gives an explicit, concrete trigger condition. It offers no exclusions or named alternatives, but for a single-purpose static-content tool the positive guidance is sufficient.

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