Behavior3/5

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

The description labels the tool as 'read-only', which is a key behavioral trait. However, with no annotations provided, it fails to mention other behaviors such as authorization or rate limits. The basic safety is clear, but deeper context is missing.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is extremely concise with two short sentences. It front-loads the purpose and is free of unnecessary words or repetition.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool has no output schema and sibling tools include a list variant, the description is adequate but incomplete. It does not mention the response structure or clarify that it returns a single client versus a list.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all parameters. The description adds no extra meaning beyond stating that the tool returns a client given identifiers, which aligns with the required parameters. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description uses a specific verb 'Return' and resource 'client', clearly stating it retrieves a single client by identifier. It distinguishes from sibling tool 'networks-list-clients' which returns all clients.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies use when you have a specific client identifier, but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'networks-list-clients'. No exclusions or context are given.

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