A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly=true, idempotent=true, destructive=false and openWorld=false, so the safety profile is fully covered. The description's genuinely additive content is the ordering ('newest first'), which is behavioral information not present in the annotations; the field list it also gives is largely duplicated by the output schema.

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?

One sentence, front-loaded with the resource scope and then the ordering and payload. Nothing is padded or repeated.

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?

For a single-optional-param read tool with an output schema and full annotations, the description covers scope and ordering adequately. It could note that results are unpaginated or that lang changes the answer language rather than the post set, but nothing essential for calling it is missing.

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%, so the single optional lang parameter and its enum values are already fully documented. The description adds no meaning about how lang affects the result set, so the baseline of 3 applies.

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

Purpose4/5

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

Names the exact resource (blog posts) and the scope (all of them) plus the sort order (newest first) and the fields returned. It does not name the obvious sibling get_post or otherwise say how it differs from list_projects, so it stops short of full sibling differentiation.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The word 'All' implicitly signals this is the enumeration tool rather than the single-item get_post, but there is no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use statement and no mention of how to drill into one result.

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