Business Url To Id

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden, and it discloses almost nothing: no read-only confirmation, no statement of what happens for an invalid or unknown URL, and no mention of auth or rate limits. For a lookup tool this is a notable gap.

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 short sentence with zero filler and the key action front-loaded. It is efficient, though bordering on under-specified rather than optimally concise.

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?

There is no output schema, so the description should clarify the return value; 'find biz id' implies an identifier is returned but not its type or failure behavior. For a simple one-parameter lookup tool this is minimally adequate but leaves obvious questions unanswered.

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?

Only one parameter exists and the schema documents it at 100% coverage ('Enter url to find the business id'), so the baseline is 3. The description's 'from url' phrasing adds no format, normalization, or validity detail beyond what the schema already says.

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?

States a specific verb (find) and a specific resource (biz id from url), so an agent can tell it performs a URL-to-ID lookup. It does not differentiate itself from siblings, though the sibling list (reviews, get_menus_beta, business_details) is mostly unrelated, so the risk of confusion is low.

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 explicit when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites, and no mention of alternatives or follow-up tools. The use case is inferable from the name and parameter, but the description itself provides no routing information.

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