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

With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden, yet it only discloses a price (0.020 USDC). It does not say whether verification is read-only, what a pass/fail result means, whether it has side effects, or what auth is required — critical for a tool operating on payments and transfers.

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 with zero filler, with the cost trailing at the end. It is efficient, though arguably too terse given the tool's complexity.

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 tool with 4 parameters, 3 required nested objects, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is far too thin. It neither explains how to populate the nested object structures nor what the verification returns, leaving the agent to guess at both inputs and outputs.

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 0% across 4 parameters, three of which are required nested objects (asset, transaction, policy) whose internal fields are entirely undocumented. The description's list of 'asset, payment, delivery and transfer restrictions' only loosely gestures at those objects and provides no field-level or format meaning.

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 concrete verb ('Verify') and resource ('RWA asset, payment, delivery and transfer restrictions'), which is more specific than most siblings. The 'RWA' qualifier distinguishes it from the generic transaction_assurance, preflight, and verify siblings, though it never names an alternative explicitly.

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?

It states what is checked but gives no when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites, and no condition for choosing it over the many overlapping assurance/preflight siblings. The only routing-adjacent information is the cost, which tells the agent price but not fit.

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