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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is fully covered. The description adds only the fact that results include an overall score; it says nothing about result ordering, pagination behavior, or what happens when a workspace has no reports — the kind of detail the limit parameter implies matters.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence with no filler; the resource and scope appear immediately. It is efficient but so terse that the savings come at the cost of missing parameter guidance.

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 simple two-parameter read tool with annotations covering safety, the definition is close to sufficient. But with no output schema and an undocumented limit parameter, the description should have said more about return shape and pagination than the single clause about overall scores.

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 carry parameter meaning and only partially does: 'in a workspace' maps to the required workspace_id. The optional limit parameter is completely undocumented in both schema and description, leaving an agent to guess its semantics and default.

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 resource (Industry Analysis / prospect reports) scoped to a workspace, plus the notable attribute that each carries an overall score. It reads clearly against siblings like list_reviews or list_workspaces, though it never contrasts itself with request_industry_analysis, which is the natural confusion point (read vs. create).

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?

Usage is only implied by the verb 'List' — an agent can infer this retrieves existing reports rather than generating one. There is no explicit statement of when to call this instead of request_industry_analysis, nor any prerequisite or exclusion noted.

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