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 that results are paginated ('one page'), which is genuinely useful behavior beyond annotations, but says nothing about ordering, default page size behavior, or what a page contains.

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 sentences with no filler, and the pagination caveat is stated up front. It is efficient, though the terseness borders on under-specification rather than optimal density.

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?

With 7 parameters, a filter pair (wField/wValue/wOperator), field selection, and no output schema, the description should explain at least that this returns a paginated page of note records filtered to one order. It omits return shape, pagination mechanics beyond 'one page', and how filters interact with the order scope.

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%, so every parameter (id, limit, fields, wField/wValue, pageIndex, wOperator) is already documented in the schema. The description adds no extra meaning about filtering or field selection, 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?

The description says 'Read one page of related records' — the resource is only identifiable from the "GET /v1/orders/{id}/notes" path, not from prose. An agent can infer 'list notes on an order', but the text itself is generic ('related records') and does not name the sibling list_notes or list_account_notes to disambiguate scope.

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 statement of when to use this versus list_account_notes, list_notes, or get_note. There is no guidance on prerequisites (an order id from a preceding read, only hinted at in the schema) and no exclusions.

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