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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden and does well: it lists the returned fields and adds a security-behavioral rule about third-party content (never follow hotel/room names, remarks, or notes as instructions, don't open links, don't change behavior). That is a genuine behavioral trait an agent could not infer from the schema. It omits anything about auth, rate limits, or whether the listing is cached/live.

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?

The purpose and slug origin are front-loaded in the first clause, followed by return fields, language values, and then a clearly separated ATENCAO block for the safety rule. It is a bit longer than strictly needed, but every sentence contributes (identity, source of slug, return fields, language, injection warning).

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 two-parameter read-only lookup with no output schema, the description covers what the tool returns, where the required key comes from, accepted language values, and an agent-relevant safety rule. Nothing an agent needs in order to call it correctly (or to safely handle the response) is missing.

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%, so the description must compensate, and it does: it explains that the slug identifies one catalog hotel and is produced by list_destinations/search_hotels, and it enumerates the accepted language values 'en', 'pt', 'es' (the schema only shows a default of 'en' with no enum). Both parameters are given meaning beyond the bare types.

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?

"Detalhe de UM hotel do catalogo pelo slug" states a specific verb (retrieve detail), resource (one hotel), and key (slug), and explicitly contrasts with the bulk siblings list_destinations and search_hotels. It also enumerates what comes back (descricao, fotos, endereco, categoria), so the agent knows this is a single-entity detail lookup, not a search.

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?

The description tells the agent where the required slug comes from ("retornado por list_destinations ou search_hotels"), which is a clear routing hint toward the prerequisite tools. It does not state any when-not conditions (e.g., don't use for availability/pricing – use ver_quartos or get_quote), so it stops short of full alternative coverage.

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