Input schema / properties / input / descriptionRemoved value: -"Input to process"Input schema / properties / text / descriptionRemoved value: -"Text to process"Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are supplied, so the description carries the full behavioral burden, and it discloses only the payment model (free-trial allowance tied to a signed wallet) — genuinely useful auth/rate context. It says nothing about whether the lookup is exact-match or prefix-match, what happens when no abbreviation matches, or what shape the result takes.
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 short sentences, front-loaded with the core purpose, with no filler. The leading 'Abbreviation:' label merely restates the tool name and could be dropped, but the rest is efficient.
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?
A two-parameter lookup tool with no annotations, no output schema, and 0% schema coverage needs more than one sentence of purpose. The description does not resolve the text-vs-input ambiguity, does not say whether input is a single abbreviation or free text, and does not describe the result.
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% and both parameters ('text' and 'input') are bare strings with no documentation. The description never mentions either parameter, so the most important ambiguity — which of two synonymous-looking string fields the agent should fill — is left completely unresolved.
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 gives a specific verb ('Look up') and resource ('common abbreviations and their meanings'), which is clear on its own. What it lacks is differentiation from the near-identical siblings x402-acronym-expand, x402-acronym-find, and x402-initialism, so an agent cannot tell from the text which of these four to pick.
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 statement of when to use this over the acronym/initialism siblings, no prerequisites, and no exclusions. The only conditional note is a pricing one ('5 free trial calls per signed wallet'), which tells the agent about cost, not about tool selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
