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

With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It suggests a read-only inspection but does not disclose side effects, authentication needs, rate limits, or any behavioral traits beyond the listed topics.

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 a single sentence with no wasted words, but it omits critical details. Conciseness is acceptable, but structure sacrifices completeness.

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?

Given the complexity from many sibling tools, no output schema, and low parameter coverage, the description is too brief. It does not explain return values, parameter usage, or how this tool fits into the workflow.

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 sole parameter 'entity_id' has no description in the schema (0% coverage) and the description does not mention it. The agent gains no understanding of how to use this parameter, such as its purpose or format.

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 indicates a compliance health check covering cloud, tests, findings, regulatory changes, and CVEs. However, it lacks an explicit verb (e.g., 'get' or 'run') and does not differentiate from sibling tools like 'health_check', leading to ambiguity.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'full_assessment' or 'gap_analysis'. No prerequisites or context for invocation are provided.

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