A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and openWorldHint, so the safety profile is covered and the bar is lower. The description contributes one genuinely behavioral constraint, the requirement to preserve Liquipedia attribution, plus the existence of continuation-based pagination, but says nothing about how pagination terminates or what the response contains.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two sentences, no filler: the first front-loads what the tool returns and its filter set, the second carries the input-provenance and attribution guidance. Nothing redundant with the name or schema is repeated at length.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With an output schema, full schema coverage, and read-only annotations, the description only needs to convey purpose, input sourcing, and obligations, all of which are present. The remaining gap is pagination behavior for a continuation-based tool with 10 parameters, which an agent mid-pagination would benefit from knowing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100% across all 10 parameters, so the schema already explains bltitle/blpageid exclusivity, bllimit bounds, and blnamespace semantics. The description only summarizes the filter families (namespace, redirect, limit, continuation) without adding syntax or edge-case meaning beyond the schema, making the 3 baseline appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description gives a specific verb and resource ("lists pages linking to one selected page") and scopes it to a single Liquipedia wiki, which separates it from a generic links listing. It does not explicitly name liquipedia_links as the outbound counterpart, so the sibling differentiation is implied rather than stated.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

It gives useful prerequisite guidance: wiki slugs come from liquipedia_wikis and namespace IDs from liquipedia_enums, which tells an agent how to obtain valid inputs before calling. However, it never states when to choose this tool over liquipedia_links or other page tools, and offers no exclusions.

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