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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds meaningful behavior beyond that: it discloses that the response includes the connection's allowed capabilities, which is the key non-obvious trait for an identity tool. It does not state whether the result is cached or free to call repeatedly.

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 front-loaded sentence that spends every word on the return contents. No preamble, no redundancy, nothing to trim.

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?

There is no output schema, so the description carries the burden of describing the return value — and it does so field by field (identity, role, default service, workspace, date, time zone, permissions). An agent knows what it will get and needs no parameters to call it.

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 takes zero parameters, so there is nothing for the schema to document and no semantic gap to close; baseline 4 applies.

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 (returns) and enumerates exactly what is returned: connected user with name/role/default service, workspace, date, time zone, and permitted capabilities. This is unambiguous and distinguishable from every sibling (tickets, time entries, invoices), though it does not explicitly contrast with any of them.

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?

Usage is only implied — an agent can infer this is a session-start identity/permission check, but the description never says when to call it (e.g., before other tools, to resolve the current user, or to check permissions) or when it is unnecessary. No alternatives are named, which is acceptable since no sibling serves the same purpose.

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