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

The description adds domain meaning that annotations cannot carry – that Stripe enables paid products/bookings and Telegram handles owner chats – which helps interpret 'connected' and 'ready'. However, it discloses nothing about how readiness is determined, whether live service calls are made, or what permissions are needed; note the tension that a purely informational 'see which' tool carries readOnlyHint=false in the annotations, unexplained by the description.

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; the status question is front-loaded and the second sentence supplies just enough domain context. Slightly more could be trimmed but nothing is 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?

With one fully documented parameter and an output schema handling return values, the description supplies what an agent needs to call it and to interpret the four boolean-style answers. The only gap is the absence of any note on usage relative to the connect_* tools.

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 'business' parameter is fully documented in the schema, including the handle format example. The description contributes no additional parameter guidance, 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?

The description names the concrete resources (Stripe, Google, Zoom, Telegram) and states that it reports connection and readiness status for a page, which is a specific, recognizable operation. It is distinguishable from the connect_* siblings by being a status query rather than an action, though it never uses an explicit verb like 'list' or 'check'.

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: an agent can infer it should be called to check state before or instead of calling connect_google/connect_stripe/etc. There is no explicit statement of when to use this versus those siblings, and no mention of prerequisites or error cases such as an unknown handle.

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