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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so the safe-read profile is covered without the description. The description does add value by enumerating what comes back (associated nodes and total bonded amount), but it never explains why idempotentHint=false (i.e., that bond state mutates over time) nor whether the response is scoped to a single network.

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?

A single sentence, front-loaded with the verb and resource, with the returned fields appended. Nothing is wasted, though it is close to the minimum viable length and leaves no room for scoping detail.

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 one-parameter read tool with annotations covering safety and no output schema, the description is adequate: it tells the agent what is returned. It leaves open the network/chain context, freshness of the bond data, and how 'associated nodes' is bounded.

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?

There is a single parameter with 100% schema description coverage, so the schema already carries the semantics and the baseline is 3. The description adds nothing about the address format (e.g., THORChain vs other chain addresses) or any validation constraints.

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 and resource ('Returns bond details for an address') plus the payload contents (associated nodes, total bonded amount), which is concrete rather than tautological. It does not, however, distinguish itself from adjacent node/account tools such as get_node or get_midgard_nodes that also surface bond-related 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 gives no indication of when to reach for this tool versus the many sibling lookup tools, and names no alternative. The only implied usage is 'you have an address and want bond info', which is inferred rather than stated.

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