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

readOnlyHint is already declared, and the description adds real context beyond it: the scope covers both the user's and the team's Radar, a hard page cap of 50, and the 30-day window for the alert count. It does not discuss total counts or ordering, but this is solid supplementary disclosure.

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 dense paragraph with the resource and scope front-loaded, followed by the field list and then the filter and pagination constraints. Every clause carries information; the long field enumeration is the only thing that makes it feel packed, but it is useful given no output schema.

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 no output schema, the description usefully enumerates the returned fields, and the readOnly annotation plus the page cap and filter semantics cover the main calling concerns. Missing only enumeration of what determines ordering or total result size.

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 only 50%: pagina has no schema description, and the description compensates by stating the 50-per-page limit, while the filtru values (activ/inactiv/fragment) are restated and clarified. It adds meaning over the schema for the under-documented parameter, though it does not explain pagina's default or how pages are bounded.

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 resource (firmele din Radarul utilizatorului/echipei) and enumerates the returned fields (CUI, denumire, alert status, surse urmarite, alert count, signal band), so an agent can distinguish it from mutation siblings radar_adauga/radar_elimina and from cauta_firma. It does not explicitly name a sibling to differentiate against, keeping it at 4 rather than 5.

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 mentions an optional filter and the values it accepts, and implies this is the read/list counterpart to radar_adauga and radar_elimina, but it never states when to use it versus siblings like cauta_firma or profil_firma, nor any exclusion condition. Usage is implied rather than explicit.

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