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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=true, so safety is covered. The description adds only 'GET /industries', which restates readOnly, and says nothing about pagination behavior or whether the list is account-scoped vs global.

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, purpose front-loaded with zero padding. The trailing 'GET /industries' is redundant with the readOnly annotation but costs almost nothing.

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 zero-required-parameter, read-only reference list with full schema coverage and no output schema, the description is sufficient to invoke the tool correctly. Return contents are only loosely characterized ('industries of the account'), which is 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 offset parameter already tells the agent to pass next_offset from the previous reply. The description adds no meaning beyond the schema, which is the expected baseline here.

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 ('List the industries of the account'), so the agent knows exactly what it retrieves. It does not differentiate itself from the many other list_* siblings (sources, deal stages, lead statuses), which would all be described the same way.

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 explicit when-to-use, prerequisites, or alternatives are given. Usage is strongly implied by the name and the read-only nature of a reference list, so the agent can infer it, but nothing routes it here versus teamgate_list_custom_fields or teamgate_list_sources.

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