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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, openWorldHint=false and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered structurally. The description's only added behavioral signal is 'Public' (visibility of the data) and 'data freshness' as a returned field, which is modest extra context.

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 dense sentence with the resource and lookup key front-loaded and the returned fields following. No wasted words, though it is a sentence fragment rather than a complete statement of action.

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?

For a simple single-parameter read whose annotations carry the safety profile and which has no output schema, the field enumeration effectively substitutes for a return-value description. What is missing is any routing context within the matching toolset.

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 description coverage is 0%, so nothing documents attorney_id beyond its uuid format and pattern. The description supplies the key insight that the id refers to a single lawyer whose profile is returned, which is marginally more than the parameter name alone conveys, but it adds no format or sourcing detail.

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 names a concrete resource and scope – a single lawyer's public matching profile retrieved by attorney_id – and enumerates the fields it contains. This is enough to separate it from list-oriented siblings like find_attorneys or compare_attorneys, though it never names those alternatives explicitly.

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 or when-not-to-use guidance. The phrase 'by attorney_id' implies a prerequisite key, but nothing tells the agent how this differs from check_attorney_availability, compare_attorneys, or find_attorneys in a matching workflow.

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