search_whisky

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden. It usefully discloses which fields the search matches, but it does not say what the tool returns (e.g., a list of whiskies) or how results are ordered or limited, leaving important behavioral context unstated.

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 compact sentence that leads with the action and then immediately specifies the searchable dimensions. Every word earns its place, with no repetition or filler.

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?

In the absence of an output schema or annotations, the description should explain what a successful invocation returns and how the query is interpreted (free text, exact match, etc.). It covers the searchable fields but not the output shape or usage nuances, leaving an agent to guess at the result format.

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 already covers the single query parameter at 100%, and the description adds real semantic value by explaining that the query can match distillery names, regions, styles, dominant flavors, and stories. This helps an agent formulate meaningful search terms beyond the bare '检索词'.

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 a specific verb ('检索') and resource ('国威知识库'), and the parenthetical enumerates the matching fields (distillery name, region, style, flavor, story), making it distinct from the more targeted list/get siblings.

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 guidance is given on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as list_distilleries, get_distillery, or get_flavor_profile. The description implies a free-text search but does not state that it is the right choice when a user query spans multiple fields, nor when it should not be used.

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