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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive and open-world, so safety is covered. The description adds genuinely new behavioral context: results are stored metadata containing a date and an original link, and full reports are not returned — useful given there is no output schema.

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 tight sentences, front-loaded with the resource and followed immediately by the exclusion. No filler, though the second sentence could be slightly more specific about when the exclusion matters.

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?

It compensates for the missing output schema by describing the returned fields (date, original link), which is good. But with a completely undocumented parameter and no guidance on result volume or pagination, an agent still lacks enough to call it confidently beyond defaults.

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% and the single 'limit' parameter (default 20, max 50) is never mentioned in the description, so its meaning, bounds, and pagination role must be inferred from the raw schema alone. The description does not compensate for the coverage gap.

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 ('List') and a precise resource ('stored State Statistical Office of Macedonia release metadata'), which clearly separates it from siblings like get_dzr_reports or get_mse_announcements. It stops short of explicit sibling routing but the resource 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?

The negative scope ('does not expose full reports or calculate new statistics') implies this is a metadata-lookup tool, which helps an agent avoid it for full text. However, it never states when to prefer it over the related sibling get_dzr_reports or other release/news tools.

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