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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden for behavior. It mentions 'classification and filters' but does not disclose whether the tool is read-only, what the return format is, or any side effects. The lack of explicit behavior makes it risky for an agent to invoke.

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 concise sentence with no unnecessary words. It is front-loaded with the core concept, though it could be more informative without being verbose, so it earns a high but not perfect conciseness score.

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 no annotations, no output schema, and only two simple filter parameters, the description is too sparse. It does not state what the tool returns, whether it returns all assets or only when filters are applied, or any operational details. An agent would not know what to expect from the tool.

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 has two enum parameters with no descriptions (0% coverage). The description's mention of 'classification and filters' gives some context that asset_type and criticality are used for filtering, adding value beyond the bare parameter names. However, it does not explain how the filters interact or any default behavior.

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 'Full ICT asset inventory with classification and filters' identifies the resource (ICT assets) but lacks a clear action verb like 'list' or 'retrieve'. It implies a read operation but is vague, and doesn't distinguish from sibling tools like register_asset or map_dependency.

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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description does not mention prerequisites, exclusions, or how it relates to sibling tools such as register_asset or dependency_graph.

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