Check Exit IP

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only says 'Return the public IP' without mentioning whether the tool makes an outbound request, what the response format is, how the optional parameters affect behavior, or any error conditions. The lack of detail leaves the agent uncertain about side effects, safety, and failure modes.

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, concise sentence that immediately states the core function. There is no redundant fluff, and the key information (what it returns and under what context) is front-loaded.

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 has 2 optional parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is far too minimal. It omits parameter roles, usage context, response structure, and behavioral details. For a tool that likely makes a network request, this is severely incomplete and leaves the agent guessing.

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 description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It does not mention the 'country' or 'session' parameters at all, their purpose, or how they influence the result. The parameter names are mildly suggestive but no real semantics are provided beyond the schema patterns.

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 the tool's function: returning the public IP assigned by the current DataImpulse proxy targeting. The verb 'Return' is specific, the resource is clear (the exit IP), and it distinguishes itself from sibling tool fetch_page, which presumably fetches web content.

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 the tool (to check the current proxy exit IP), but it does not explicitly state when to use it versus alternatives, nor does it provide any exclusions or prerequisites. The context 'current DataImpulse proxy targeting' suggests verification for proxy setup, but this is only implied, not explicit.

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