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

Read-only/idempotent safety is already in the annotations, so the description's value is the mode behavior: list vs. product-specific, per-product sizing, and Markdown output format. It never says what happens if a topic is invalid or how large the returned guide is, which keeps it below 5.

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 sentences, front-loaded with the resource and output format, then the mode rules. The long parenthetical topic list earns its place for discovery but is slightly padded since the schema's topic description already enumerates ids.

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?

An output schema exists so return values need no explanation, and the description covers output format and both invocation modes. Missing detail on behavior for unknown topics or whether product_id requires a topic keeps it from perfect.

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 all three parameters plus the nested configuration fields are already documented there, including 'Omit for the list.' The description only reinforces the topic/product_id/configuration interplay, adding little beyond structured fields.

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 verb and resource ('artwork setup guides as Markdown') and enumerates the covered topics, which makes the tool's content immediately graspable. It doesn't name a sibling (e.g. get_artwork_requirements vs. get_artwork_uploader_link) to draw the line, so it stops short of a 5.

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?

Explains both invocation modes clearly: 'Without a topic, the list' and 'With a product (and its configuration), what that product's page says on the topic.' That is real when-to-use guidance, though there is no explicit statement of when to use this instead of get_artwork_requirements or check_artwork.

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