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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is fully covered. The description adds the meaningful behavioral detail that output is Markdown and that it enables accurate quoting. However, it does not describe pagination, error behavior, or exact return structure—though an output schema exists, so this burden is reduced. A 3 is appropriate because the description adds useful context without fully characterizing behavior beyond 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?

Two sentences with no wasted words. The core action is front-loaded, examples follow immediately, and the usage guidance closes efficiently. Every sentence earns its place.

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 single-parameter read-only tool with an output schema and comprehensive annotations, the description is complete. It explains what the tool does, how to specify the input, and why an agent would use it. Nothing necessary for correct invocation is 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?

Schema coverage is 100%, and the path parameter is already well described in the schema. The description adds value by providing four concrete path examples (/pricing/, /web-design/, /developers/, /blog/) that an agent could directly use or model inputs after. That pushes it above the baseline 3.

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 specific verb and resource: 'Read any page of buildmydigital.co.uk as Markdown by its path'. It provides concrete path examples and is clearly distinct from the sibling tools list_services and scan_website, which operate at a broader level. The purpose is immediately understandable and not a tautology.

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 gives explicit use cases: 'Use to quote a price, a service description or an article accurately.' This clearly signals when the tool is appropriate. It does not explicitly name alternatives or when not to use it, but the context is strong enough that an agent can select it correctly.

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