Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden, and it does disclose two important traits: it is a pure generator (no live-page fetch) and performs no eligibility validation. However, it says nothing about what is returned, error behavior, or whether the produced JSON-LD is schema-validated for structure, leaving meaningful gaps.
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?
Three short sentences, the core action front-loaded, followed by two boundary statements. Every sentence earns its place with no filler.
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 nested-object tool with zero schema coverage and no output schema, the description covers routing and scope boundaries well but leaves the fields-object shape and the response contents unexplained. It is adequate for invocation but not fully sufficient.
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 0%, so the description must compensate. It does hint at both parameters — 'schema.org type' maps to kind and 'the fields you supply' maps to fields — but it gives no detail on the nested fields object structure, required keys, or accepted kind values, so compensation is only partial.
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 output artifact ('Generate JSON-LD for a schema.org type') and explicitly frames itself against the sibling it is not ('Does NOT validate eligibility; use validate_schema for that'). An agent can distinguish it from validate_schema without reading either schema.
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?
Gives both when-to-use and when-not-to-use conditions: it generates markup but does not fetch the live page and does not validate eligibility, with validate_schema named as the alternative for validation. This is explicit routing, not implied.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
