Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds one genuinely useful behavioral note, 'Contains personal data', plus the underlying REST path, but says nothing about error behavior (e.g. unknown id) or sensitivity-handling expectations. Useful addition, minimal depth.
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?
Three short fragments with zero filler, and the purpose is front-loaded before the PII warning and route. Slightly telegraphic rather than sentence-formed, but nothing wasted.
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 single-parameter read-only lookup with full schema coverage and annotations carrying the safety profile, the description is adequate. The only residual gap is the return shape, and no output schema exists, though 'One driver' makes the return plausible enough not to block a correct call.
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 the single driver_id parameter is already fully documented in the schema, including the 'abc' vs 'drivers/abc' format. The description adds no additional parameter semantics, so the baseline of 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 and resource with a scope qualifier ('One driver by id'), which contrasts with the singular/plural distinction against the sibling spoke_list_drivers. It does not name the sibling outright, but the retrieval target is unambiguous.
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 only implied: 'by id' signals you should call this when you already hold a driver id rather than when browsing. There is no explicit statement of when to prefer this over spoke_list_drivers, and no preconditions or exclusions are given.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
