Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so safety is covered; the description adds the valuable context that the response bundles users and media items with download URLs, types, and order — telling an agent the call is a heavy read, not a bare record fetch. It doesn't discuss errors or missing-site 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?
Two short clauses, front-loaded with the verb and resource, and the return contents are packed in without wasted words.
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?
No output schema exists, so the description's enumeration of returned fields (status, purchase state, users, media with download URL/type/order) fills that gap well. Minor incompleteness around error/empty cases, but sufficient to invoke correctly.
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 coverage is 100% and the single sid parameter is documented in the schema itself, including its provenance from hdphotohub_list_sites. The description adds no additional parameter semantics beyond identifying the resource, 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+resource ('Get one property site') and enumerates what comes back: status, purchase state, users, media items. Implicitly contrasts with hdphotohub_list_sites (single vs. list) but never names that sibling explicitly, which keeps it from 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?
Usage is implied: fetch the full detail of a single site by id. There is no explicit when-to-use / when-not-to-use guidance or named alternative, though the schema hints the sid comes from hdphotohub_list_sites.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
