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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds useful behavioral context by explaining that omitting the slug returns all hosted products while providing a slug returns a single answer, but it does not detail the response format or error behavior.

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 two short sentences with no filler. The primary purpose is stated first, and the conditional slug behavior is presented immediately after, giving the agent the key decision information up front.

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 read-only tool with one optional parameterasi and no output schema, the description conveys the essential behavior and result content: hosted products and monthly prices. It is complete enough for selection and invocation, though it does not enumerate exact response fields.

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 input schema already documents 'slug' as an optional string with 100% coverage. The description goes beyond the schema by clarifying the semantic difference between supplying a slug and omitting it, which is essential for correct invocation and interpretation of results.

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's purpose: identifying which Ownware Cloud products are hosted and their monthly prices. It also explicitly covers the two invocation modes (single slug vs. no slug), making the resource and behavior immediately distinguishable from sibling tools like search_catalogue or product.

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 intended usage is implied: use this tool when the user asks about Ownware Cloud hosted products or pricing. However, the description does not explicitly mention when to prefer a sibling tool such as product or search_catalogue, leaving the routing decision somewhat implicit.

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