Tool Definition Quality
Average 3.8/5 across 11 of 11 tools scored. Lowest: 3.2/5.
Most tools have distinct purposes (get vs search vs list), but get_entity overlaps with get_beverage and get_producer for specific entity types, though descriptions help differentiate.
All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with snake_case: get_, list_, search_. No mixing of conventions.
11 tools is well-scoped for a knowledge base about wine and claims, covering retrieval, listing, and search without being excessive.
Covers single entity retrieval, listing, search, graph, and ontology for a read-only knowledge base. Missing only perhaps advanced filtering or update capabilities, which are not expected.
Available Tools
11 toolsget_beverageGet beverageARead-onlyInspect
Use this when the user asks about a specific beverage, such as 'Tell me about Pet Nat 0.0' or 'Fetch the beverage profile for Leitz Zero'.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| slug | Yes | ||
| condensed | No |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already provide readOnlyHint=true, so the description's omission of behavioral details is acceptable. The description adds no additional traits beyond usage context, which is sufficient given the annotation coverage.
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?
The description is a single, focused sentence with no wasted words. It efficiently conveys the tool's purpose and immediate use case.
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?
Despite low complexity, the description omits return value hints (example mentions 'beverage profile' but not formal) and does not explain the condensed parameter. With no output schema, more detail is needed for complete understanding.
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?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description must explain parameters. It does not mention slug or condensed at all, leaving the agent to infer from context. This is a significant 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?
The description clearly states the tool retrieves a specific beverage, giving explicit usage examples like 'Tell me about Pet Nat 0.0'. It differentiates from sibling tools like search_beverages and other get_* tools by focusing on a single entity.
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?
The description explicitly says 'Use this when the user asks about a specific beverage', providing clear context. It does not explicitly mention when not to use or alternatives, but the sibling context implies search_beverages for broader queries.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_claimGet claimARead-onlyInspect
Retrieve a single Beyond Wine claim by claim UID, including provenance and version history.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| claim_uid | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true for safe read. The description adds value by specifying that provenance and version history are included, which is behavioral insight beyond annotations.
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?
A single, well-structured sentence with no redundancies. Every word contributes meaning.
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 simple retrieval tool with one parameter, the description covers the key aspects: what is retrieved (claim), how (by UID), and extra info (provenance, version history). No output schema exists, so the description could elaborate on return structure, but it is sufficient.
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?
The schema has 0% description coverage for the only parameter 'claim_uid'. The description mentions 'by claim UID' but does not add format, constraints, or examples. Given the parameter's simplicity, this is adequate but not exceptional.
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 specifies the action 'retrieve', the resource 'Beyond Wine claim', the identifier 'claim UID', and additional included data 'provenance and version history'. This clearly distinguishes it from sibling search tools that return multiple results.
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?
The description implies usage when a specific claim UID is known and full details are needed. It does not explicitly state when not to use or list alternatives, but the context of sibling tools like 'search_claims' provides implicit guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_contextGet contextARead-onlyInspect
Retrieve a token-bounded context bundle for a Beyond Wine topic, including entity summary and optional claims or graph data.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| topic | Yes | ||
| include | No | ||
| max_tokens | No |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Description adds important behavioral details (token bounding, optional includes) beyond the readOnlyHint annotation. No contradictions.
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?
Single, well-structured sentence that conveys all key points without redundancy.
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?
Adequately describes input parameters and expected output for a retrieval tool with no output schema. Could be more precise about output structure but functional.
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?
With 0% schema coverage, the description explains the role of 'topic' and clarifies that 'include' controls optional components (entity summary, claims, graph). The token bounding hint relates to max_tokens, though not explicitly named.
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?
Clearly states the action 'Retrieve', the resource 'token-bounded context bundle for a Beyond Wine topic', and distinguishes from sibling tools that focus on individual entities or graphs.
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?
No explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance. The mention of 'token-bounded' implies a specific need for compressed context, but alternatives among siblings are not addressed.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_entityGet entityBRead-onlyInspect
Retrieve a published entity profile from the Beyond Wine knowledge base, with structured data and attached claims. Profiled entities (producers, beverages, people, restaurants) are independent businesses documented by Beyond Wine, not brands of it.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| slug | Yes | ||
| condensed | No | ||
| entity_type | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so the description's verb 'Retrieve' aligns. The description adds context about entity provenance but does not disclose additional behavioral traits like authentication or rate limits. The read-only nature is already covered by annotations, so the description adds marginal value.
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?
The description is two sentences long, front-loaded with the action and object, and every word earns its place. It is efficient and avoids redundancy.
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 three parameters and no output schema, the description provides some context about return content ('structured data and attached claims') but omits parameter explanations and usage scenarios. It is serviceable but leaves gaps for an agent to fully utilize the tool.
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 the description provides no information about the three parameters (slug, condensed, entity_type). Despite entity_type having an enum, the description fails to explain any parameter meaning, so it adds nothing beyond the raw schema.
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 clearly states the tool retrieves a published entity profile with structured data and attached claims, listing example entity types (producers, beverages, people, restaurants). It distinguishes itself from siblings by clarifying that profiled entities are independent businesses documented by Beyond Wine, not brands of it.
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?
The description implies this tool is for general entity retrieval but does not explicitly state when to use it versus specific getters like get_beverage or get_producer. It provides examples but lacks clear usage boundaries or alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_graphGet graphARead-onlyInspect
Retrieve direct relationship neighbors for an entity profiled in the Beyond Wine knowledge base.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| slug | Yes | ||
| entity_type | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so safety is covered. The description adds behavioral context by specifying 'direct relationship neighbors', which is beyond what annotations provide. No contradiction.
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?
Single sentence, no wasted words. Clearly front-loaded with the action and resource.
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 the simplicity of the tool (2 params, no output schema), the description is mostly complete. However, it could mention what the output looks like or any limitations, though not critical.
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%, placing the burden on the description. However, the description does not explain parameter meanings beyond the names 'slug' and 'entity_type'. It adds minimal value over the schema.
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 clearly states the action ('retrieve'), the resource ('direct relationship neighbors'), and the context ('Beyond Wine knowledge base'). It distinguishes from sibling tools like get_entity that retrieve the entity itself, not its neighbors.
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?
The description implies when to use (to get neighbors of an entity) but lacks explicit guidance on when not to use or alternatives. Sibling tools are given context, but no direct comparison.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_ontologyGet ontologyARead-onlyInspect
Retrieve the Beyond Wine ontology, entity types, relationship types, and semantic scales.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| format | No | json |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so the description does not need to emphasize safety. However, it adds no additional behavioral context beyond stating 'retrieve', which is consistent but not extra value.
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?
Single sentence, 12 words, front-loaded with the core action. No redundant or irrelevant information. Highly 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?
For a simple read-only tool with one optional parameter and no output schema, the description adequately conveys what is retrieved. However, it omits the purpose of the format parameter, which slightly reduces completeness.
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%, so the description should compensate by explaining the optional 'format' parameter. It does not mention the parameter or its effect (choosing between json and json-schema output formats), leaving the agent without guidance.
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?
Description uses specific verb 'retrieve' and lists concrete resources: ontology, entity types, relationship types, and semantic scales. This clearly defines the scope and distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_entity or get_graph.
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?
Description implicitly indicates usage for retrieving the ontology structure, but lacks explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like get_entity or search tools. No when-not or prerequisite information is provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_producerGet producerARead-onlyInspect
Use this when the user asks about a specific producer, such as 'Who is Muri?', 'Tell me about Domaine des Grottes', or 'Fetch the producer profile for Kolonne Null'. The profile includes the producer's full published beverage lineup under data.beverages.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| slug | Yes | ||
| condensed | No |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true, so the description adds value by specifying that the profile includes the producer's full beverage lineup under data.beverages. No contradiction with annotations.
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 sentences, both essential. First sentence states usage with examples, second describes output. No wasted words and front-loaded.
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 simple read tool with 2 parameters and no output schema, the description is complete enough: covers usage context and key output content. Missing explanation of condensed parameter, but overall adequate.
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%, so description must compensate. It implies slug identifies the producer but does not explain the meaning of condensed. The description adds some context about the output but not enough about parameter semantics.
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 clearly states the tool retrieves a specific producer by slug and gives concrete example queries. It does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like search_producers or get_entity, but the purpose is well-defined.
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?
Provides explicit when-to-use guidance with example user queries. It does not mention when not to use it or list alternatives, but the context is sufficient for an agent to select appropriately.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_entitiesList entitiesBRead-onlyInspect
List published entity profiles in the Beyond Wine knowledge base by type.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| page | No | ||
| limit | No | ||
| entity_type | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so safety is clear. The description adds 'published' and 'by type' constraints, but these are either redundant with the schema or add little behavioral insight. No disclosure of pagination behavior or return format.
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?
The description is a single concise sentence of 11 words, but it sacrifices informative content for brevity. It could include more detail without becoming verbose.
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 three parameters, no output schema, and sibling tools that suggest nuanced retrieval methods, the description is too minimal. It omits details on return structure, pagination, and filtering behavior, making it incomplete for an agent to use effectively.
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?
With schema description coverage at 0%, the description should explain parameters. It only implicitly mentions 'entity_type' via 'by type', but ignores 'page' and 'limit'. This leaves the agent with no guidance on how to paginate or set limits.
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 clearly states the verb 'List' and the resource 'published entity profiles in the Beyond Wine knowledge base by type'. It distinguishes from siblings like 'get_entity' (singular) and search tools by implying bulk listing.
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?
Usage is implied by the name and description (list vs get vs search), but no explicit guidance on when to use this tool over alternatives, nor any exclusions or prerequisites.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
search_beveragesSearch beveragesARead-onlyInspect
Use this when the user asks to list, find, or filter beverages by name, producer, or category. The q text matches beverage names, aliases, AND producer names; use producer to list a producer's full lineup. Good matches include 'list sparkling beverages', 'find beverages named Pet Nat', and 'list all MURI beverages'.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| q | No | ||
| page | No | ||
| limit | No | ||
| category | No | ||
| producer | No |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so the tool is clearly read-only. The description adds valuable behavioral context: how `q` matches across multiple fields (name, alias, producer) and that `producer` lists a full lineup. This goes beyond annotations without contradicting them.
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?
The description is three sentences, front-loaded with the main use case, then specialized parameter behavior, and ends with concrete examples. Every sentence adds value with no fluff.
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 the tool has 5 parameters, no output schema, and minimal annotations, the description covers key usage scenarios and parameter behavior. It is adequate for an agent to understand when and how to invoke it, though it could mention the return format (list of beverages) for completeness.
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?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description must compensate. It explains the semantics of `q` (matches multiple fields) and `producer` (lists full lineup), and implicitly covers `category` in the first sentence. However, it does not explain page/limit or category details beyond mention, missing some parameter clarification.
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 clearly states the tool's purpose as listing/finding/filtering beverages by name, producer, or category. It distinguishes from sibling tools like get_beverage (single beverage) and search_producers (producers) by focusing on beverages with multiple search parameters.
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?
The description explicitly says when to use this tool ('when the user asks to list, find, or filter beverages') and provides examples. It explains the behavioral difference between the `q` parameter and `producer` parameter, but does not explicitly mention when NOT to use it or direct users to alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
search_claimsSearch claimsBRead-onlyInspect
Find published Beyond Wine claims by entity type, entity slug, claim type, or reliability class.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| page | No | ||
| limit | No | ||
| claim_type | No | ||
| entity_slug | No | ||
| entity_type | No | ||
| reliability_class | No |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description adds the behavioral constraint that only 'published' claims are searched, which is beyond the readOnlyHint annotation. However, it does not explain pagination behavior or default behavior when no filters are provided. With readOnlyHint already present, a score of 3 is appropriate.
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?
The description is a single, well-structured sentence that conveys the tool's purpose and key filters without any wasted words. It is 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 the tool's complexity (6 parameters, no output schema, 0% schema coverage), the description lacks essential details like output shape, default behavior, and pagination handling. It leaves significant gaps for an agent to infer.
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?
The description lists four of six parameters (entity_type, entity_slug, claim_type, reliability_class) as filters, providing basic semantics. However, it omits pagination parameters (page, limit) and the word 'or' is ambiguous regarding filter combination. With 0% schema coverage, the compensation is partial.
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 uses a clear verb 'Find' and specifies the resource 'published Beyond Wine claims' with filtering criteria. It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like search_beverages or get_claim by focusing on claims. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from other search tools.
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?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like get_claim or list_entities. No usage scenarios or conditions are mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
search_producersSearch producersARead-onlyInspect
Use this when the user asks to list, find, or filter producers by name, country, city, ingredient, or technique. Good matches include 'list producers from France' and 'find producers using sencha tea'.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| q | No | ||
| city | No | ||
| page | No | ||
| limit | No | ||
| region | No | ||
| country | No | ||
| technique | No | ||
| ingredient | No |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already provide readOnlyHint=true. The description adds filtering capabilities (by name, country, etc.) but does not disclose pagination behavior, result sorting, or what happens on no results. Value added is moderate beyond annotations.
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 sentences front-load the core purpose and usage. Every sentence is essential; no filler. Examples are concise and illustrative.
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 8 parameters, no output schema, and limited annotation, the description lacks details on return format, pagination semantics, and q vs. specific field behavior. It is adequate but not fully complete for a complex search tool.
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%, so description must compensate. It lists some filterable fields (name, country, city, ingredient, technique) but omits q, page, limit, region. It does not explain what each parameter does or how they interact. Minimal added meaning.
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 clearly states the tool searches for producers with specific verbs ('list, find, filter') and resources ('producers'), and distinguishes from siblings like get_producer (single) and search_beverages (different entity). Examples reinforce purpose.
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?
Description explicitly states when to use it ('when the user asks to list, find, or filter producers by...') and provides good query examples. It does not directly name alternatives but implies context via sibling differentiation.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
