v1.17.5Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the behavioral disclosure burden. It discloses that data is 'live-sampled,' 'public,' and tied to the headlines endpoint, which adds useful context beyond a bare tool name. It does not mention response shape, pagination, or rate-limit behavior, but for a zero-parameter read-only lookup the coverage is acceptable.
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?
Two concise sentences with no filler. The first sentence front-loads the verb and resource, and the second precisely defines what is returned and how it relates to the headlines endpoint.
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?
For a zero-parameter inventory endpoint with no annotations and no output schema, the description is largely complete: it names the source, the publisher, the public/live nature of the data, and its downstream use. It stops short of describing the exact output format, but that is a minor gap given the tool's simplicity.
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 tool has zero parameters and an empty schema, so there is nothing for the description to clarify about arguments. The baseline of 4 applies because no parameter documentation burden exists.
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 and resource: 'Get Daily Wire content-vertical sections.' It further clarifies the return value as the 'live-sampled public Daily Wire content-vertical inventory used by the headlines endpoint,' distinguishing it from generic sections tools and other Daily Wire endpoints.
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?
The phrase 'used by the headlines endpoint' implies this tool provides the canonical Daily Wire section inventory for headline workflows, giving some contextual guidance. However, it does not explicitly name sibling alternatives or state when not to use this tool, leaving the agent to infer routing from the tool name.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
