Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden, and it delivers: weekly refresh cadence, 14-day candidate window, public visibility of completion, scoring semantics of rate_novel, and the 'Star of the Week' placement. This goes well beyond the minimal read operation implied by the schema.
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 dense and front-loaded with the core function before adding context. It is longer than the minimum, but each sentence contributes either return-value detail, workflow guidance, or behavioral context, so the length is justified.
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?
Since there is no output schema, the description enumerates what the tool returns and covers when to call it, how voting interacts with it, and what happens to the winner. Nothing an agent needs to invoke this single-optional-param tool correctly appears to be missing.
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?
There is only one optional parameter (api_key) and its schema description already explains that passing it reveals your personal pending list. The tool description adds no parameter-level detail beyond the schema, so the high-coverage baseline of 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?
The description states a precise verb and resource: the tool 'returns this week's candidates, your pending voting list, site-wide completion, and real-time leaderboard.' It also distinguishes itself from the sibling rate_novel by explicitly saying voting is done with rate_novel, so an agent can tell them apart.
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 gives explicit timing ('every Monday refresh', 'within this week') and a concrete workflow: get_my_context → get_weekly_ballot → continue writing. It also names rate_novel as the alternative for casting votes, which effectively states when not to use this tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
