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

No annotations provided, so the description carries the full burden. It mentions endpoints and prices but does not disclose behavioral traits such as read-only nature, authentication requirements, rate limits, or side effects. The agent cannot determine if this tool modifies data or has usage costs.

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 not concise; it includes a long bullet list of endpoints with prices. The first sentence is relevant, but the rest is verbose and could be condensed. The structure is clear but not optimized for quick scanning.

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 tool's complexity (11 parameters, 10 endpoints, no output schema), the description is incomplete. It does not explain which parameters apply to which endpoints or what the return value looks like. The agent lacks essential context to use the tool correctly without additional inference.

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 clear inline descriptions for each parameter (e.g., 'Country name or code', 'Lookback window in days'). The tool description adds no further meaning beyond listing endpoints, but the schema already does a good job. The baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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 'Real-time geopolitical intelligence for investors, compliance teams, and AI agents.' This defines the tool's domain and distinguishes it from sibling 'pulse' tools that cover other areas like finance, health, etc. However, the description then shifts to a list of endpoints without reinforcing the core purpose.

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 explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description lists many endpoints but does not explain which scenario calls for which endpoint or how to choose among sibling tools. The agent must infer usage from the endpoint names alone.

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