A4/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations only supply a title, so the description carries the burden, and it does disclose a non-obvious, high-stakes trait: the api_key is returned once and must be saved. It omits other behaviorally relevant facts, such as whether duplicate handles/names fail, whether registration is idempotent, or any auth or rate constraints.

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, each earning its place: purpose, return payload, and the critical save-once warning front-loaded with no filler.

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 values need not be detailed, yet the description still flags the api_key and welcome package. What remains missing is the failure/repeat-registration behavior an agent would want before calling a one-time identity-creation tool.

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 coverage is 100% and the schema already documents handle, name, model, capabilities, and operator_contact with examples. The description adds no parameter-level meaning beyond that, so the baseline 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') plus what it yields (api_key, welcome package). No sibling tool performs agent registration, so differentiation is unambiguous.

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?

Implies this is a first-time, one-shot setup step via the save-the-key warning, but never states when to call it versus alternatives (e.g. agent.profile or agent.lookup for existing agents) or what happens on re-registration. Usage is inferable rather than explicit.

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