Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, covering the safety and reach profile. The description adds only that results include show references and episode IDs, which is largely duplicated by the output schema. No mention of rate limits, pagination behavior, or the mixed result types implied by the audiobook/author/album flags.

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, zero filler. The purpose is front-loaded and the routing alternatives follow immediately, which is the correct ordering for an agent scanning for a tool.

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 present and annotations covering the safety profile, the description only needs to establish purpose and routing, both of which it does. A small gap remains: the 11 parameters imply broader result types (audiobooks, authors, albums) than the 'podcast episodes' framing suggests, which is not reconciled.

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% for all 11 parameters, so the schema already documents limit clamping, offset, prefix behavior, and each include* flag. The description's 'by keyword' restates searchTerm without adding format or syntax guidance, so baseline 3 is appropriate.

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

Purpose5/5

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

States a specific verb (search), resource (Spotify podcast episodes), and outcome (show references and episode IDs). It explicitly distinguishes itself from both spotify_podcasts_search and apple_podcasts_episodes_search, so an agent can route correctly without opening either schema.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

The second sentence gives explicit alternatives with the condition that selects them: spotify_podcasts_search when you want shows, apple_podcasts_episodes_search when you want Apple's catalog. This is exactly the when-to-use-this-vs-sibling guidance the dimension rewards.

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