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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safe-read profile is covered. The description adds only the domain (lab/workshop hosting) and that filtering is possible; it discloses nothing about result limits, pagination, or empty-result behavior, so it adds minimal value beyond the annotations.

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 short sentences with no filler, and the core purpose is front-loaded. It is efficient, though it spends half its length restating filter facets already implied by the schema.

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-param read-only search with full schema coverage and clear annotations, the definition is adequate. It is incomplete only in omitting any note about result count, sorting, or pagination behavior, which for a search tool would be the one piece of context an agent could not derive elsewhere.

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 both parameters are already fully documented, and the description's mention of 'size' and 'access schedule' only loosely maps to maxSqft and access. Baseline 3 is appropriate when the schema does the heavy lifting.

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+resource ('Search for lab/workshop hosting spaces') and identifies the filterable facets. It is clear on its own, but it never distinguishes itself from the sibling match_spaces or get_space, so an agent must infer the routing.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this over match_spaces or get_space, nor any prerequisites. The reader must guess that this is a broad listing/filter operation while match_spaces is a pairing operation.

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