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

Discloses clamping behavior for page and limit, but omits that audience_count is ignored (stated in schema as 'currently ignored'). With no annotations, this missing behavioral trait reduces transparency.

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 dense sentences with no fluff. Every sentence adds value: one for purpose/source, one for clamping constraints.

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?

Covers core purpose and clamping but lacks return structure details (e.g., fields of creators) and error/empty result behavior. No output schema so description should compensate more.

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?

Adds value beyond 100% schema coverage by specifying clamping ranges for page (1-10) and limit (max 100), which are absent from schema descriptions. However, doesn't elaborate on sort_by or creator_country behavior.

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 'Retrieve TikTok popular-trend creators' and specifies data source ('TikTok Creative Center'), differentiating from sibling tools like tiktok_trending (videos) and tiktok_popular_trend_country_industry_meta (meta).

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?

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives (e.g., tiktok_trending, tiktok_explore). Only implicit use via clamping info; no when-not-to-use or alternative references.

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