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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, openWorldHint=false and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is fully covered. The description adds the 'reviewed' curation signal and the breadth of template categories, but says nothing about result ordering, count, or pagination behavior; with an output schema present, return-format detail is not required. Modest value added on top of annotations.

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?

Front-loaded with the verb and resource, and the workflow sentence is compact. The parenthetical category list is long-ish but earns its place by conveying the template breadth an agent needs to judge relevance.

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 annotations covering the safety profile, an output schema covering returns, and a fully documented single parameter, the description supplies the remaining essentials: scope, content breadth, and the chaining step to get_drafting_template. Only the absence of explicit non-use cases keeps it from a 5.

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% and the single filter parameter is fully documented in the schema with a default, maxLength and examples. The description adds nothing about filtering syntax or matching behavior, so baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 (List) plus a precisely scoped resource (FAI's reviewed Pakistani legal drafting templates) and enumerates concrete examples (legal notice, plaint, bail application, affidavit, etc.). It also differentiates itself from the sibling get_drafting_template by positioning itself as the discovery step.

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?

Explicitly says to use it when the user wants to draft a Pakistani legal document, and gives the follow-up routing step (call get_drafting_template with the chosen id), which is a genuinely useful workflow hint. It does not state when-not to use it (e.g. use search_statutes or search_judgments for research rather than drafting), so it stops short of full alternative coverage.

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