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

With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden and only discloses that omitting search_options_id checks all active search parameters. It does not mention side effects, API/quota consumption, synchronous vs asynchronous behavior, or permission requirements for an action that launches a check.

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?

It is two sentences, front-loads the action, and immediately follows with the only relevant condition about search_options_id. There is no redundant or filler text.

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?

The tool is simple and has an output schema, so return values need not be explained. However, because there are no annotations, the description should do more to cover the action's operational impact, such as whether it consumes quota or runs asynchronously.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents project_id and search_options_id. The description restates the optional parameter's default behavior but adds no extra meaning beyond what the schema provides, matching the baseline 3.

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 uses a specific verb and resource: launching a keyword position check for a project. It does not distinguish this action from nearby retrieval tools such as get_position or get_keywords_positions_history, so it misses the sibling-differentiation needed for a 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 implied use case is clear: run a fresh position check for a project. It also explains the default scope when search_options_id is omitted, but it never explicitly says when to prefer this over get_position or get_keywords_positions_history.

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