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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states the informational scope but does not confirm this is a read-only operation, mention whether it has side effects, describe the return format, or note any rate limits or auth requirements.

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?

It is a single compact sentence with little wasted text, but the list structure is slightly ambiguous — 'theaters' and the parenthetical preview label are not defined, and the sentence is not clearly front-loaded around what the tool returns.

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 zero-parameter informational tool with no output schema and no annotations, the description covers the content areas well. However, it omits when to use it versus the related rules/starter tools and does not say what the response contains or how it is structured.

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 tool takes zero parameters, so there is no parameter meaning to add beyond the schema. Baseline 4 is appropriate for a parameterless tool.

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 names the content scope clearly: onboarding path from zero to a ranked controller, theaters (Armor, Silent Service preview), rules version and quotas. It is a noun phrase rather than an explicit 'returns' statement, but the resource and breadth are specific enough to distinguish it from get_rules and get_starter.

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 explicit guidance on when to call this instead of siblings like get_rules, get_starter, or get_starter_sub. The onboarding framing is implied by 'from zero to a ranked controller,' but no when/when-not conditions or alternatives are named.

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