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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds useful shape info (that output varies by argument combination), but says nothing about result caps beyond the limit param, pagination, or freshness of 'newest jobs'.

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?

Three sentences, each mapping to a distinct argument combination, front-loaded with the no-state case. It is information-dense and mostly earns its length, though the third sentence partially repeats the second's pattern.

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 read-only aggregate query tool with a 100%-documented schema and no output schema, the description conveys the three response shapes an agent would get. Minor gaps remain around the limit semantics (only applies to 'newest jobs') but overall it is sufficient.

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 coverage is 100% and the kind enum is fully documented with human-readable labels in the schema. The description restates the state/kind interaction at a high level but adds no syntax or format detail beyond what the schema already provides; baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 (returns healthcare jobs and employers) and its primary dimension is geography (state). It's clear what it does, but does not explicitly distinguish itself from siblings like get_healthcare_job_market or get_healthcare_pay, which likely overlap on the same data.

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?

The description implies three usage modes (no state, state, state+kind) which signals when to use each variant. However, it never names alternatives or says when to prefer a sibling like search_healthcare_jobs over this aggregate tool, so routing is left to inference.

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