KKTC Foreign-Buyer Purchase Roadmap (deprecated)

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

Describes deprecation status, alias relationship, and that it provides only general information. Annotations already indicate read-only and open-world, but the description adds context that is not present in annotations (deprecation timeline, alias).

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?

Description is concise with three sentences, front-loads the deprecation warning, and every sentence adds value. No wasted words.

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 deprecated alias tool with no parameters and existing annotations and output schema, the description provides all necessary context: purpose, alias, deprecation, and disclaimer. Complete and sufficient.

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?

Input schema has no parameters, so parameter semantics are not applicable. Baseline for 0 parameters is 4. Description does not need to add parameter info.

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 it is a step-by-step roadmap for foreign nationals buying property in Northern Cyprus, including the PTP process. Also explicitly says it is an alias of get_legal_info and deprecated, distinguishing it from siblings.

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?

Explicitly advises to use get_legal_info directly instead, and warns that it is general information only, not legal advice, and to confirm with a lawyer. Provides clear when-to-use and when-not-to-use guidance.

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