forensic_accounting__first_digit

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

No annotations are provided, and the description gives no behavioral context. It does not disclose whether this is a read-only computation, any side effects, or error conditions. The agent cannot infer safety or usage constraints.

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 extremely short, but it is under-specified rather than concise. It consists of only a bracketed prefix and the tool name, providing no substantive information. An effective description would be longer but more informative.

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 complexity (forensic accounting tool) and lack of output schema or annotations, the description is critically incomplete. The agent cannot determine the tool's purpose, input semantics, or output format, making it unusable.

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 single parameter 'value' of type number is not explained. The description adds no meaning beyond the schema, and with 0% schema description coverage, the agent has no understanding of what value represents (e.g., a number, an array, a percentage?).

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 '[forensic-accounting] first_digit' is a tautology that merely restates the tool name. It does not specify what the tool does, such as computing the first digit of a number for Benford's law analysis or something else.

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 guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus its siblings (e.g., forensic_accounting__benford_test, forensic_accounting__round_number_ratio). The agent has no basis to select this tool over alternatives.

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