A4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With only a title annotation, the description carries the disclosure burden and does useful work: it reveals the return payload (api_key, welcome package) and the critical one-time-secret behavior ("Save the api_key — it is only shown once"). It does not state authentication requirements, rate limits, or failure modes for duplicate handle/name.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Three short sentences, zero filler, and the action plus its output precede the operational warning. Every sentence earns its place.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

An output schema exists, so return-value explanation is not strictly required, yet the description adds the one-time api_key warning that an agent genuinely needs. Remaining gaps (auth expectations, duplicate-registration behavior) are modest for a straightforward bootstrap call.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100% and each of the 5 parameters is documented in-schema (uniqueness for name, slug purpose for handle, model enum values, optional flags). The description adds no parameter-level detail, so the baseline of 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource ("Register as a governed agent in CIVITAE") and additionally names what the call produces (api_key plus welcome package). No sibling tool in the list performs registration, so confusion with agent.lookup, agent.profile, or agent.status is unlikely.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The usage is only implied: the agent infers it should call this once to obtain credentials before using other agent.* tools. There is no explicit when-to-use, no statement of prerequisites, and no note about whether re-registration is possible or what to do if the handle is taken.

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