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

There are no annotations describing side effects, auth requirements, or rate limits. The description implies a read-only search action by saying 'Sucht' and 'gibt Treffer zurück', but it does not explicitly state the absence of side effects or explain result limits and ordering.

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?

The description is a single, clear sentence with no superfluous words. It communicates the action, target, search criterion, and expected result efficiently.

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 no output schema provided, the description still mentions that the tool returns 'Treffer' (matches), giving a basic expectation. It could be more detailed about result structure or limits, but it is sufficient for a search tool with one parameter.

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?

The schema describes the single parameter as 'Suchbegriff', and the tool description adds the important nuance that the keyword applies to name or category. This goes beyond the minimal schema description and clarifies how to use the parameter.

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 clearly states the tool searches for components by keyword and returns matches. It uses a specific verb ('Sucht') and resource ('Komponenten'), and distinguishes itself from listing or getting components by emphasizing keyword-based search.

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?

The description indicates when to use the tool: when searching components by a keyword in name or category. It does not explicitly contrast with siblings like list_components or get_component, but the keyword-search criterion is clear enough to guide selection.

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