Bulk Analyze

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full disclosure burden. 'Concurrently' and 'consolidated summary' hint at parallel execution and aggregated output, but there is no information on auth requirements, throttling, partial-failure behavior, or cost, which matter for a 50-item batch tool.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence with no filler; the action, target, and result are stated immediately. Nothing is wasted.

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?

An output schema exists, so explaining return values is unnecessary, and the schema covers both parameters fully. However, for a batch/concurrent tool with zero annotations, the silence on concurrency limits, error semantics, and sibling choice leaves gaps.

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 100%, so both 'iocs' and 'max_concurrent' are already documented in the schema, including the max-50 cap and default of 5. The description adds nothing beyond that, so the baseline of 3 is correct.

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 gives a specific verb ('Analyse') plus a clear resource ('multiple IOCs') and states the output shape ('consolidated summary'). It implicitly separates itself from the singular analyze_ioc through 'multiple', but never names the sibling explicitly, so differentiation is left to inference.

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?

There is no when-to-use guidance: nothing says to prefer this over analyze_ioc for batches, nor when a single analyze_ioc call is more appropriate. No mention of prerequisites, rate limits, or failure handling that a batch operation would normally need.

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