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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so safety is covered. The description adds valuable behavior: independence of items (one failure doesn't cancel others) and per-call billing. These are not derivable from annotations and help the agent set expectations.

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 short sentences with zero filler. The action and limit are front-loaded. The phrase 'tool-router's batch_use' is redundant since it restates the tool name, but it's a minor flaw. Overall it is concise and well-structured.

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 annotations covering destructive behavior and an output schema presumably describing results, the description covers the key operational aspects: concurrency limit, independence, and billing. It doesn't mention error reporting formats, but those likely live in the output schema. It is sufficiently complete for a batch tool.

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 the schema fully documents each parameter. The description adds no parameter-specific details. The calls parameter's description already explains the structure and batching context, so the baseline of 3 applies; the description doesn't need to compensate.

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 clear action (execute) and resource (operations) with a concrete limit (up to 20) and concurrency. It doesn't explicitly name the sibling 'use' for single operations, but the distinction is clear enough from the concurrency and limit. The redundancy of 'tool-router's batch_use' is minor.

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 gives no guidance on when to use this tool versus the sibling 'use' tool. The schema note about 'steps at the same execution_level of a plan go in one batch' is helpful, but it lives in the schema, not the description. The description only implies batching via concurrency but doesn't state when to choose it over the single-operation alternative.

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

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description adds meaningful context: it is free, stops before any spend, and explains how price.model varies (quoted, list, dynamic, composed). It also clarifies that suggested_max_price_usd has headroom. This goes beyond the annotation flags and gives the agent a clear model of what happens.

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?

The description is moderately long but well structured: it opens with the core purpose, then explains the price model in a dedicated paragraph. No redundancy or filler. It front-loads the most critical information (contract fields) and then gives necessary detail about price semantics. Slightly dense but not overly verbose.

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?

The tool has an output schema, so return values need no description. The description covers the key behavioral aspects (no spend, pricing models, max_price headroom) and clarifies edge cases like routes without a price. For a read-only informational tool, this is complete enough for an agent to use it 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 parameters are already documented. The description adds some nuance, such as how arguments affect pricing and that required parameters may be needed before a price can be quoted. It also clarifies with_quote's purpose (one round trip, spends nothing). These are useful but not essential given the schema's completeness.

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 purpose: returning the full contract of one or more operations, including schemas, read_only, side_effects, price, and known_pitfalls. It clearly distinguishes this from executing operations (use, batch_use) and from discovery (search, list_categories). The verb 'get' and the noun 'details' align with the title, and the first sentence is explicit.

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 the tool is used to assess an operation before spending (e.g., 'A quote authenticates like a call but stops before any spend'), and the schema says 'One operation_id from search', hinting at a flow. However, it never explicitly states when to choose this over siblings like use or search, nor does it give exclusions. The guidance is implied, not stated.

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

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

Beyond the readOnly/idempotent hints, it reveals the exact top-level paging shape ('more.has_more and more.cursor'), the nested replies structure, and an empirical size ('21 KB for 19 top-level comments'). This gives an agent concrete expectations for response shape and cost.

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?

The core behavior and paging warning are front-loaded, but the first sentence lists many fields that the output schema likely already specifies, making it longer than necessary. The size estimate and routing guidance earn their place.

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 post-comments tool, it covers the URL input, response fields, paging mechanism, result size, and the relationship to search siblings. Given the annotations and output schema cover safety and structured return values, nothing critical is missing.

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?

Input schema coverage is 100%, with the url, trim, and cursor parameters already described. The description adds context around cursor/paging, but does not materially change how the parameters are invoked, so 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?

Opens with 'Returns one post and its discussion from a post URL', naming the verb, resource, and input. It enumerates post and comment fields, and contrasts paging with get_reddit_search/get_reddit_subreddit_search, so an agent can tell it apart from sibling search tools.

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?

Explicitly tells the agent to 'start from get_reddit_search or get_reddit_subreddit' to find posts worth opening, which frames when this tool is the follow-up. It also warns that paging differs from those siblings. It does not spell out exclusion cases such as when get_details would be preferred, but the context is clear.

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

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, covering the safety profile. The description adds substantial behavioral context beyond that: it discloses performance characteristics ('Measured at 8 to 16 seconds and 8 to 26 KB, the slowest endpoint here'), the pagination mechanism (after token), and the full list of fields returned. No contradictions with 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?

The description is dense but front-loaded: the core purpose and paging mechanism appear first, followed by output details and parameter behavior, then performance and alternatives. Each sentence contributes information without redundancy. It's longer than minimal but justified by the tool's complexity.

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?

Given the output schema is provided, the description doesn't need to enumerate return types, but it still lists key fields. It covers scope (all public subreddits), pagination, sorting, timeframe, performance, and alternatives. An agent has everything needed to decide when and how to call this 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 coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds meaning to sort ('accepts relevance, new, top and comment_count') and timeframe ('narrows the window'), and explains the after token's role in pagination. It does not explicitly describe trim, but the schema already documents it, and the description provides enough added value to warrant a 4.

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 opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Searches every public subreddit for posts matching a query and returns posts plus an after token to page.' It clearly distinguishes itself from sibling tools by naming get_reddit_subreddit_search and get_reddit_post_comments, so an agent can immediately tell this is the global search endpoint.

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?

Explicitly states when to use alternatives: 'To stay inside one community use get_reddit_subreddit_search, which is faster and pages with cursor rather than after; to read one post's discussion use get_reddit_post_comments.' This gives direct routing guidance with clear conditions, leaving nothing to inference.

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

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

Beyond the readOnly/idempotent annotations, it discloses page size ('about 18 KB for 24 posts'), the constraint error behavior (400 rather than ignoring timeframe), case sensitivity of subreddit names, and that results use an after token for pagination. No statement contradicts 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?

The description front-loads the purpose and then packs in field names, accepted sort values, a constraint, and sibling routing. It is largely efficient, though the sort value list and field list slightly overlap with schema/enum information.

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 and rich annotations, the description covers the remaining essentials: pagination token, sort/timeframe constraint, case sensitivity, response size, and related tools. Nothing needed for correct invocation is missing.

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%, so baseline is 3. The description adds meaningful parameter context beyond the schema: subreddit names are case-sensitive, timeframe only works with sort=top and the failure mode is a 400, and after is the pagination token.

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 opening sentence specifies a concrete action and resource: 'Returns the post stream of one subreddit with an after token to page.' It also names sibling tools for search and metadata, so an agent can distinguish it from get_reddit_subreddit_search and get_reddit_subreddit_details.

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 gives explicit routing: use get_reddit_subreddit_search for searching inside the same subreddit and get_reddit_subreddit_details for metadata. It also warns that timeframe is only valid with sort=top and that other combinations return 400, so the agent knows when not to supply timeframe.

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

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, open world, and non-destructive behavior, so the bar is lower. The description adds meaningful behavioral details beyond those: case-sensitive name resolution, approximate response size (about 5 KB), and the guarantee that no posts are included in the response.

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?

The description is efficiently structured: what it returns, why to use it, a critical behavioral caveat, and sibling routing. The field list is long but directly useful, and no sentence is wasted.

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 metadata tool with an output schema, the description covers selection, invocation, caveats, and alternatives. Nothing material is missing: the agent knows what to expect, how to avoid case-sensitivity pitfalls, and when to choose a sibling tool instead.

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 the schema already documents both parameters, their examples, and the case-sensitivity requirement. The description adds that the tool works 'by name or by URL', which is useful context but largely reinforces what the schema already conveys.

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 names a specific verb ('Returns metadata') and a specific resource ('one subreddit'), and enumerates the exact fields returned. It also distinguishes itself from siblings by explicitly stating it returns no posts and pointing to get_reddit_subreddit and get_reddit_subreddit_search for those cases.

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 gives concrete use cases: 'size a community or read its rules before posting anything elsewhere.' It also states what the tool is not for ('returns no posts at all') and names the alternatives to use instead, giving an agent clear routing logic.

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

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

Annotations already mark this as read-only and non-destructive, but the description adds critical behavioral details: every sort value returns only posts and never comments or media, response size is about 5 KB with ~2 second latency, and it is faster than the global search. This goes well beyond what annotations provide and corrects a misleading implication of the sort parameter.

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?

Every sentence in the description earns its place: scope and pagination, return fields, the sort caveat, performance comparison, and the routing to a sibling tool. The most important distinguishing information is front-loaded.

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?

Given the rich schema, output schema, and annotations, the description fully covers what an agent needs to select and invoke the tool correctly. It includes return field details, pagination behavior, performance expectations, the surprising sort behavior, and when to use sibling tools.

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?

The input schema has 100% coverage, so parameters are already documented. The description adds extra semantic value by clarifying that the sort parameter's values all produce posts-only results and by explaining that cursor is the pagination token. This lifts it above the baseline.

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 clearly states the tool searches within one subreddit and returns matching posts, with a cursor token for pagination. It also distinguishes itself from get_reddit_search, which searches all of Reddit, so an agent can tell them apart.

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 explicitly names get_reddit_search as the alternative for all-of-Reddit searches and explains the difference in scope and pagination mechanism. It also points to get_reddit_post_comments for retrieving replies under a result, giving clear routing guidance.

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

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description adds meaningful behavioral context beyond annotations: the tool is free, requires no key, and can direct users to a category-specific endpoint that lists tools directly rather than through search.

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?

The description is moderately detailed but every sentence adds useful information: output scope, cost/auth, sibling differentiation, and endpoint usage. It is slightly longer than strictly necessary but remains well-structured and front-loaded with the core purpose.

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 zero-parameter, read-only tool with an output schema and safety annotations, the description is complete. It covers what the tool returns, the free/no-key access model, and provides the category endpoint for specialized use, leaving no essential gap for an agent to call it 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?

The tool has zero parameters, so the baseline is 4. The description includes a <category> placeholder only in the endpoint examples, not as a tool parameter, which is appropriate supplementary guidance rather than a parameter-semantics gap.

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 clearly states what the tool does: it presents the AIsa catalogue at a glance, including categories, servers, tool counts, and a dedicated category endpoint. It also distinguishes itself from search by explaining that the endpoint lists tools directly instead of via search.

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 provides clear usage context: use list_categories for a catalogue overview, and use the provided endpoint when you only need one category. It explicitly contrasts with search ('instead of via search') and notes tool-router has no equivalent, although it does not exhaustively cover all sibling alternatives.

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

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

The description discloses meaningful behavior beyond annotations: search spans the entire AIsa catalogue, candidates may belong to modules other than the current one, multiple providers for the same metric are surfaced, and no API key is required. This gives the agent a clear picture of scope and output behavior.

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?

The description is front-loaded with the core purpose and is dense with useful information: scope, no-auth requirement, response shape, and relationship to the catalogue. Each sentence adds operational value, and the structure makes the tool's behavior predictable.

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 complex discovery tool with output schema, the description is unusually complete: it explains the response modalities, candidate fields, direct pass-through to `use`, full-catalogue search behavior, and cross-provider visibility. An agent has enough context to invoke and interpret 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 coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all parameters. The description adds value by explaining that the category parameter is not a hard boundary—search spans the full catalogue—and that queries are plain-language task descriptions, which clarifies how to use the tool effectively.

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 clearly states the tool finds AIsa data operations across many categories via a plain-language query. It distinguishes itself from siblings like get_details and use by emphasizing that search covers the full catalogue, not just the pinned category.

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 conveys when to use search: when you need to discover operations across the full catalogue, even those not in the current tools/list. It also implicitly contrasts with get_details by noting that returned candidates already include input_schema, so they can be passed directly to `use` without an extra call.

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

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

Annotations already provide readOnly=false, openWorldHint=true, and destructiveHint=true. The description adds valuable behavior beyond that: billing per call, the BatchCallResult response shape, and the error structure with retryable status. It does not spell out side effects, but the destructive flag is already carried by annotations, so the additional context is sufficient.

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 short sentences, each earning its place: purpose, cost, response shape, and routing guidance. Key behavioral facts are front-loaded, and nothing is redundant with the schema or annotations.

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?

Given that an output schema exists and all parameters have descriptions, the tool description is complete enough for correct invocation. It covers cost, return/error contracts, and how routing to this tool differs from calling pinned tools directly, leaving no practical gap.

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%, and each parameter is already clearly documented: operation_id as returned by search, search_id provenance, arguments matching input_schema, and max_price_usd as a spend guard. The description does not need to add parameter detail, so 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?

The description opens with 'Execute one AIsa operation,' a specific verb+resource statement. The word 'one' distinguishes it from the sibling batch_use, and the closing note distinguishes it from calling pinned tools directly. An agent can tell what this tool is for immediately.

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 states when to use the tool: 'this is the way to call anything found through search.' It also gives the alternative: 'Pinned tools in tools/list can also be called directly.' This is clear when-versus-alternative guidance with no ambiguity.

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