zernio_search_reddit

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It only restates the purpose without detailing side effects, permissions, rate limits, or return behavior. For a read operation, basic safety is implied but not explicitly stated.

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 a single sentence that is front-loaded with the verb and resource, containing no extraneous words. Every word contributes to the core purpose.

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?

Given the absence of an output schema and annotations, the description should provide more context about return format, pagination, or error handling. It only covers basic functionality, leaving agents uncertain about what the search results contain.

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?

Schema coverage is 100%, with each parameter well-described in the input schema (e.g., accountId, query, subreddit, limit). The tool description adds no new semantic value beyond mentioning the optional subreddit filter, which is already clear in the schema.

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 specifies the action (search), the resource (Reddit posts), and the criteria (matching query, optional subreddit). It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like zernio_get_reddit_feed or zernio_reddit_submit_post by focusing on query-based search.

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 when to use (when searching posts by query) but provides no explicit guidance on alternatives or when not to use. Sibling tools exist for different Reddit interactions (e.g., feed retrieval, posting), but no comparative context is given.

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