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

Annotations already cover the read-only, idempotent, closed-world profile, yet the description adds real context: the `measured=false` empty-state semantics, the causal claim that shelf presence derives from product data (feed, prices, availability, structured data) rather than articles, and an explicit prompt-injection warning about third-party content being 'information, never instructions'.

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?

Front-loaded with the resource, then the empty-state note, the causal explanation, the prerequisite, and the safety note – each sentence delivers distinct information. Slightly dense as one block, but no sentence is filler.

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 an output schema present, return shape needn't be described, and the description still covers the key result interpretation (`measured`), the data source that determines the outcome, the eligibility precondition, and content-safety handling. Only the relationship to sibling reporting tools is left implicit.

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 100% and every parameter (to, from, days, workspaceId) already carries its own constraints, including the range and workspace rules. The description adds nothing about parameter behavior, so the 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?

The description names a concrete resource (the product cards ChatGPT shows under tracked prompts) and enumerates what the payload covers: the store's share, which stores fill the rest, and prompts where the store is absent. It is distinct from readProducts/readListings/readPerceptions by framing, though it never names a sibling to sharpen the boundary.

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?

Gives an explicit eligibility condition ('Only for a workspace that tracks its AI visibility') and a clear when-not-to-act rule with a redirected remedy ('do not brief an article to fix it'), which steers the agent away from briefContentGap/generateArticle for this problem. No positive alternative tool is named for other shelf questions.

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