namesniper_check

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries full responsibility for disclosure. It reveals rate-limiting, trademark being skipped without a key, best-effort confidence on Instagram/TikTok/X, and the exact return structure (verdicts, confidence, summaries, brandScore, trademark risk). This goes well beyond basic safety traits.

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 long but every sentence carries unique value: purpose, return format, alternatives, and free/paid limitations. It is front-loaded with the core purpose, though the first sentence is lengthy and could be broken up for easier parsing.

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?

Despite no output schema and no annotations, the description covers return format, per-domain/per-platform details, confidence scores, summaries, trademark risk, rate limiting, and authentication requirements. It also names sibling tools for narrower use cases, making it highly complete for a complex all-in-one tool.

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 the baseline is 3. The description adds slight context by mentioning 'optional 0-100 brand score' and 'USPTO trademark screening' which map to brandScore and trademark, but overall it does not add significant meaning beyond what the schema already provides.

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 the tool's function with a specific verb and resource: 'All-in-one brand name check' covering domains, social platforms, brand score, and trademark. It distinguishes itself from siblings by explicitly naming alternatives, making its scope unambiguous.

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?

Explicitly states when to use this tool versus alternatives: 'Use namesniper_check_domains or namesniper_check_social instead when only one dimension is needed.' Also provides context on free vs paid usage and trade-offs, which helps an agent decide when this tool is appropriate.

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