+}Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds one useful behavioral constraint — the name must match exactly rather than fuzzily — but says nothing about pagination via cursor or what the section scoping does.
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?
One sentence with zero filler and the resource stated up front. It is not padded, though it is thin enough that the brevity reflects omission as much as economy.
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?
An output schema exists, so return values need not be described. However, for a read tool with a cursor parameter and an enum-scoped section parameter at 0% schema coverage, the description omits pagination behavior and section semantics that an agent needs to call it 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 description coverage is 0% across 4 parameters, so the description carries the compensation burden. It clarifies template_name as an exact-match key but leaves cursor (pagination), section (an enum with three values), and connection_context entirely unexplained in both schema and prose.
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 ('Read a template') plus the key selector ('by exact name'), which cleanly separates it from templates_list (enumerate) and templates_update/create/delete (write). It does not name any sibling explicitly, so it lands just short of the top band.
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 when-to-use guidance and no alternatives are named, despite five sibling templates_* tools where the choice between get, list, and reverse_engineer is non-obvious. The agent must infer that this is the lookup-by-name path.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
