dispatch_get_route

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

Annotations already set readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and idempotentHint=true, so the safety profile is well-covered. The description adds that it evaluates TFRs, weather, and airspace restrictions, and returns impact levels and recommendations, which complements the annotations but doesn't disclose additional behavioral traits beyond the annotated safe operation.

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 highly concise, with a clear title, a short description, a well-structured return format, and useful examples. Every sentence adds value, and the information is front-loaded.

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?

Given zero parameters, full annotations, and an output schema described inline, the description is complete. It specifies the geographic and operational scope (DC-area chauffeur operations), what factors are evaluated, and the exact return structure. No gaps are apparent.

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?

There are zero parameters in the input schema, so the description has no parameter details to add. Baseline score of 4 applies as there is no parameter information needed that the schema doesn't already provide.

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?

Clearly states 'Get current ground route impact assessment' with specific verb and resource. Distinguishes from sibling tools like dispatch_get_alerts and dispatch_get_tfr by focusing on DC-area chauffeur operations and route impact.

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?

Provides examples of when to call the tool (e.g., 'Will TFRs affect our route today?') and what to check in the response. While it doesn't explicitly state when not to use it, the context is clear and the examples guide appropriate usage.

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