v1.17.5Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses that the source is a public section hub page and that the headlines are 'fresh,' which is useful. It does not describe return shape, result ordering, count limits, or pagination, though these are less critical for a simple public headlines fetch.
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 two short sentences with no filler: the action comes first, and the supporting detail about freshness and source follows immediately. Every sentence earns its place.
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 one-required-parameter read tool with a complete enum schema and no output schema, this description provides enough context for an agent to invoke it correctly. The main gaps are explicit alternative routing and output-shape details, but neither is essential for making the call.
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 schema already fully documents the single parameter with an enum and a clear 'GamesRadar+ section slug' description. The description adds the conceptual context of 'one public section hub page' but no new syntax or type-level semantics, so the baseline score of 3 applies.
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 states a clear verb and resource: 'Get GamesRadar+ section headlines.' The phrase 'from one public section hub page' adds scope and makes the tool's behavior more specific. It does not explicitly name sibling tools, but the purpose is unmistakable and not a tautology.
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 description implies this tool should be used when someone needs headlines for a GamesRadar+ section. However, it does not explain when to prefer this over related alternatives like gamesradar_news or gamesradar_sections, leaving the routing decision largely to inference.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
