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 burden. It discloses that the operation returns current public data, implying a read-only, no-auth retrieval, and it specifies the kinds of fields returned. For a simple zero-parameter directory lookup, this is adequate transparency, though it omits details like failure behavior or response structure.
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 sentences with no filler: the first immediately identifies the resource, and the second states the action, scope, and return contents. 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 no-parameter tool with no output schema, the description is complete: it states what the tool returns, the source scope, and the included data fields. An agent has enough information to select and invoke this tool correctly.
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?
With zero parameters in the schema, the baseline is 4; there is no parameter gap for the description to fill. The description's field list adds useful context about the return payload but is not needed for parameter semantics.
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 specific verb ('Returns') and a precise resource ('the current public publisher directory linked from LiveScore News'), then enumerates the directory's contents: publisher names, logos, websites, contact links, and telephone numbers. This clearly distinguishes the tool from sibling livescore_* tools that handle news articles, scores, matches, teams, and competitions.
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 gives clear context: use this tool when you need LiveScore's public publisher directory, and the zero-parameter schema removes invocation ambiguity. It does not explicitly name alternatives or state when not to use it, so it stops short of full routing guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
