No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It does disclose two useful behavioral facts — the return format (ISO timestamp) and the weekday numbering — plus the payment/access model (5 free trial calls per signed wallet). It says nothing about what happens if the given weekday equals the reference date (does "next" skip today?) or whether the operation is a pure read-only computation.
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?
One tight sentence with the core semantics front-loaded, followed by a short pricing tag. No filler, though the emoji/pricing tail is noise from the agent's perspective.
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?
This is a low-complexity, two-parameter computation with no annotations and no output schema, and the description does cover the return type and the weekday encoding. The remaining gap is the role of the `date` parameter and the today-vs-next ambiguity, which matter for correct invocation.
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% for both parameters, and both are typed loosely as strings. The description usefully defines the `weekday` parameter's numbering (0 = Sunday) but never explains the `date` parameter at all — it is unclear whether it is the reference start date, optional (defaulting to today), or a format requirement.
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 output ("Returns the ISO timestamp of the next occurrence of a weekday number") and even pins the numbering convention (0 = Sunday). It does not name the obvious siblings it could be confused with (x402-prev-weekday, x402-next-business-day), so the differentiation is implicit rather than explicit.
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 when-to-use guidance, no statement of when to prefer this over x402-prev-weekday or x402-next-business-day, and no note on prerequisites apart from the pricing tagline. The agent must infer usage entirely from the tool name and one sentence.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
