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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so safety and open-world reach are covered. The description adds that results are typeahead/autocomplete-style suggestions with prices and URLs, which is useful context, but says nothing about ordering, partial-match behavior, or how locale affects results.

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 front-loaded sentences: the capability first, then the disambiguation from the full-search sibling. Nothing is redundant or padded.

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 an output schema present, the description need not explain return values, yet it still summarizes them, and it covers the key selection decision versus playstation_search. Minor omission is any note on locale/currency interaction between cc and l, but that is not essential to call the tool 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 100%, so term, limit, l, and cc are already documented in the schema. The description adds no syntax, format, or locale interaction detail beyond that, so the baseline 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 states a specific verb and resource ("Fetch PlayStation Store typeahead suggestions") and enumerates the returned fields (product IDs, names, platforms, prices, URLs), making the tool's function unmistakable. It also distinguishes itself from the sibling playstation_search, so an agent can pick correctly without opening a schema.

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?

It explicitly routes the agent: use this for autocomplete matches and use playstation_search "for full search results rather than autocomplete matches." The when-to-use and the named alternative are both present with no inference required.

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