No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden, and it discloses nothing about the operation: no input expectations, no output shape, no edge-case behavior (e.g., percent of zero, non-numeric strings). The field is effectively blank.
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 short, but brevity here is under-specification rather than conciseness: the only content is a duplicated restatement of the name, so no 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?
No annotations, no output schema, and no descriptive text means an agent cannot determine what the tool returns, how it treats its string inputs, or how it differs from the many sibling percent tools.
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 100%, so the schema itself documents both parameters; per the rubric that establishes a baseline of 3. The description adds no meaning beyond the schema, but it does not need to compensate for a coverage gap.
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?
"Percent Of Value: Percent Of Value" is a pure tautology that restates the tool name twice. It gives no verb, no scope, and no differentiation from close siblings such as x402-percent-of, x402-percentage-of, or x402-percent-change-of.
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 prerequisites, and no mention of any alternative. With a large family of percent-related siblings, the agent has nothing to route on.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
