Find Gender from Name

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true. The description adds value by disclosing the cost (1 credit per call), the category (clean), and the preprocessing step (stripping special characters). This goes beyond the annotations and provides useful behavioral context.

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 front-loaded with the purpose but is somewhat repetitive: 'Find Gender from Name' appears twice, and the stripping of special characters is stated twice. It could be more concise without losing information.

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 simple tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description adequately explains the processing, cost, and purpose. It lacks details on the output format or when to use it, but given low complexity, it is mostly complete.

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 input schema fully describes the parameter (queryValue) with 'Select fullname column'. The description adds that the tool removes special characters from the full name, which enriches the parameter semantics by explaining how the input is processed.

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 clearly states the tool finds gender from a name, and explains it extracts firstname, lastname, and gender after removing special characters. This directly conveys the purpose and differentiates it from sibling tools like derrick_find_email or derrick_enrich_profile.

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 does not provide explicit guidelines on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no mention of prerequisites, limitations, or when not to use it. It only implies usage via the description of the input.

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