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

No annotations provided, so description should fully disclose behavioral traits. Mentions filtering but does not describe pagination (limit/offset), data source, rate limits, or what happens on invalid input. Lack of annotation burden not carried by description.

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 focused sentences. First sentence states purpose, second sentence lists parameter usage. No redundant or filler content. Front-loaded and 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?

Given 9 parameters and existence of output schema, description covers main functionality but misses pagination parameters (limit, offset) and does not explicitly state that at least one location input is required. Adequate but with gaps.

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 has 0% coverage, so description must compensate. It explains lat/lng as a point, radius_miles as optional, city/state as alternative, and tag/open_now as filters. Adds significant meaning, but omits limit, offset, and the relationship between location inputs (e.g., co-dependency of lat/lng).

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?

Clear verb 'Find' with specific resource 'Indian sweets shops (mithai) & bakeries'. Distinguishes from siblings like get_indian_restaurants or search_sweets_by_text by specifying location-based search.

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?

Gives two modes of location input (point or city/state) and lists filters, providing clear context. However, does not explicitly contrast with alternative sibling tools like search_sweets_by_text (text search) or get_sweets_details (specific shop details).

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