-}New value: +nullDoes the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, covering the safety profile. The description adds the 'locked' qualifier benen. However, it does not explain what 'locked' means operationally or how the quote behaves toward purchase.
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?
One sentence, no filler, and the usage condition is front-loaded. Every word contributes to orienting the agent.
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?
With seven parameters, 0% schema coverage, no output schema, and only a one-line description, the tool definition lacks critical context around parameter semantics, return behavior, pricing details, and the 'locked' quote lifecycle. An agent could call it but may mis-set fields like max_total or currency.
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 must compensate for seven undocumented parameters. 'Locked ticket quote before purchase' provides broad context but does not explain event_id, offer_id, max_total, refund_terms, or other parameter meaning beyond what the property names imply.
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 states a specific action: produce a locked ticket quote before purchase. It clearly differentiates this from purchase_ticket_order by naming the pre-purchase stage and from get_ticket_offers by specifying 'locked quote' rather than just offers.
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?
It explicitly says when to use the tool: when a user wants a locked quote before purchase. It does not explicitly name alternatives or exclusions, but the 'before purchase' phrasing strongly implies the boundary relative to purchase_ticket_order.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
