A3.5/5.0
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already cover read-only and closed-world behavior, so the description only needs to add context. It clarifies the aggregate nature of the result, but does not mention date-range behavior, filtering effects, or any limitations. This is adequate but not rich.
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?
The description is a single, well-structured sentence that front-loads the trigger condition and immediately lists the returned content. There is no wasted wording.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With four parameters, no schema descriptions, and no output schema, the description needs to carry more weight. It does list the result categories but fails to explain the optional parameters or any filtering behavior, leaving a notable completeness gap.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate by explaining parameters. It only implies 'city' via the phrase 'a city's' and entirely ignores days, date_from, and event_types, leaving agents without meaningful guidance for those fields.
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?
The description states a specific verb-plus-resource purpose: retrieving a city pulse summarizing busiest nights, top venues, genre mix, and headline events. This content list clearly distinguishes it from siblings like search_events, get_artist_events, and list_cities.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description opens with 'Use this when a user wants...' and gives clear, concrete context for when the tool is appropriate. It does not explicitly mention when not to use it or name alternative tools, so it stops short of a 5.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
