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 genuine behavioral value in the absence of an output schema by disclosing what the response contains: address and bank details. It does not cover failure behavior (e.g., missing id), which keeps it short of a 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?
One sentence, front-loaded with the verb and resource, with the return payload summarized at the end. No filler or redundant restatement of the tool name.
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 single-record read with full schema coverage, readOnlyHint, and no output schema, the description supplies the one thing structured data doesn't: what fields come back. Only error/empty-result behavior is left unaddressed, a minor gap.
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 the single 'id' parameter is fully documented in the schema, including its source (billomat_list_suppliers). The description adds nothing about the parameter, 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?
States a specific verb ('Get') and resource ('supplier') with added scope ('with address and bank details'), so the agent knows exactly what entity is fetched. It does not explicitly distinguish itself from the sibling billomat_list_suppliers, but 'one supplier' implies single-record retrieval.
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 when-to-use guidance, no mention of the alternative (billomat_list_suppliers) for enumerating suppliers, and no prerequisites. The single-record framing hints at usage, but nothing steers the agent between this and the list tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
