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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden, and it discloses nothing: no indication of what kinds of secrets are detected, whether input is logged or transmitted, what permissions are needed, or what the result contains. For a security-scanning tool this is a severe gap.

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 stems from under-specification rather than efficient drafting. Every character is wasted on name repetition, with no front-loaded statement of behavior or input expectations.

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 two-parameter security tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description supplies none of the context an agent needs — not the scan target, the detection scope, nor the shape of the result. Nothing an agent requires in order to call it correctly is present.

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 nominally 100%, but both parameters are documented only as 'Text to process' and 'Input to process', which are functionally identical and do not distinguish the two fields. The description adds no meaning to explain how 'text' differs from 'input', so an agent cannot know whether to supply one, both, or which is required (required count is 0).

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 is 'Secret Scan: Secret Scan', a tautology that merely restates the tool name twice. It gives no verb, no object of the scan, and no way to distinguish this from other security-oriented siblings such as x402-api-key-detect, x402-contract-scan, or x402-token-security.

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 guidance on when to use this tool, when not to, or which sibling to prefer for credential/secret detection. An agent has nothing to route on beyond the name.

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