A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and closed-world behavior, so the safety profile is covered. The description's contribution is the authentication requirement (API key) and the enumeration of returned fields, the former being genuine added context and the latter largely duplicating 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?

Two tight sentences with the returned fields front-loaded and the auth prerequisite attached at the end. Every clause carries information and there is no filler or restatement of the tool name.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a zero-parameter read of account state with an output schema handling return shape and annotations covering safety, this description supplies everything an agent needs to call it correctly. Nothing material is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

There are zero input parameters, so there is no schema surface for the description to explain. Baseline 4 applies; the description adds no parameter meaning because none is needed.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description uses a concrete verb ('Show') plus a precise enumeration of the resource contents: plan, monthly free credits, prepaid balance, and max file size for the account tied to the API key. Nothing here overlaps with the conversion-oriented siblings, so an agent can select it unambiguously.

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?

It states the prerequisite ('Needs an API key'), which is real usage context, but gives no explicit when-to-use framing, exclusions, or pointer to alternatives. Usage is only implied by the tool's account-scoped nature, and the sibling list happens to be unrelated, so the cost of the gap is low.

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