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

With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden and does disclose two non-obvious traits: numeric comparison that tolerates letter-suffixed identifiers ('108A') and silent auto-correction of reversed start/end with a note in the response. It stops short of stating the operation is read-only or describing result size/pagination behavior.

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 sentences, each earning its place: purpose first, then the letter-suffix comparison rule, then the reverse-order behavior. Front-loaded and free of 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 simple 3-parameter read tool with no output schema, the description covers the core operation and two boundary behaviors, and even alludes to a response note. Minor gaps remain around result scope and what act_code formats are accepted.

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 already 100%, so the baseline is 3; the description adds real meaning by explaining that start/end are compared numerically and that reversed ordering is tolerated instead of erroring. It adds no detail on act_code, which the schema only illustrates with 'BNS'.

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 gives a specific verb and resource ('Get all sections between a start and end number (inclusive) with full text'), which implicitly separates it from the single-section sibling indian_legal_mcp_get_section and from get_chapter/get_full_act. It never names an alternative, so the differentiation is inferential rather than explicit.

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?

There is no when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance and no sibling is referenced, so an agent must decide on its own between this range tool and get_section/get_full_act/list_sections. The tolerance behaviors described are edge-case handling, not routing guidance.

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