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

Annotations already cover the safety profile fully (readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, closed-world), so the bar is lower. The description's only added context is the 'your assigned' authorization scoping — it implies the caller sees only their own feedback, which is useful but not elaborated (no mention of what happens if the session is incomplete or if the caller isn't assigned).

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?

One front-loaded sentence with zero filler, listing the three returned artifacts. Appropriately sized for a simple read, though it is too terse to carry any of the guidance the other dimensions need.

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?

There is no output schema, and the description does partially compensate by enumerating what comes back (questions, ratings, notes). However, with a required session ID and zero parameter documentation, the definition leaves a gap an agent must close by inspecting the schema.

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%: neither interview_session_id nor request_id is documented anywhere, and the description never mentions them. The single sentence gives no hint that a session identifier is required to retrieve feedback, so the agent must guess from the required array alone.

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 (Read) and names the concrete resources returned: assigned interview questions, scorecard ratings, question notes. The word 'your' scopes it to the calling interviewer, which separates it from yardstick_interview_sessions_read and scorecard_submit, though no sibling is named 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?

No when-to-use or when-not guidance, and in a catalog of ~200 tools with near-identical prefixes (interview_sessions_read, interviewers_list, question_notes_save) no routing signal is given. The agent must infer from the name alone that this is the interviewer's own-feedback view.

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