A3.8/5.0

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds useful semantics about the Gr/GrA corpora (GrA being cross-border/Amtsblätter), but says nothing about how filters combine, what happens with zero filters, or result behavior beyond what the schema and output schema already carry.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Front-loaded with a one-line purpose, then a compact application key and four short example queries. The Applications section mildly overlaps the applikation enum in the schema, but it earns its place by explaining GrA's meaning; nothing else is padded.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a 19-parameter, all-optional search tool with an output schema and full annotation coverage, the description supplies the missing operational framing: which corpus to pick and how to compose filters. It stops short of explaining how multiple filters intersect or how empty-query behavior works, which would be the remaining gap.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema description coverage is 100%, so a 3 is the baseline. The description exceeds that by pairing parameters in concrete examples (gemeinde + suchworte, bundesland + titel, applikation + index, applikation=GrA + bezirk), which demonstrates realistic filter combinations an agent would not derive from the field list alone.

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

Purpose4/5

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

States a specific verb and resource ("Search Austrian municipal law (Gemeinderecht)") and narrows scope to municipal regulations and local ordinances, which is distinguishable from siblings like ris_bundesrecht or ris_landesrecht by subject matter. It never names an alternative tool explicitly, so the differentiation is inferred rather than stated.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

"Use this tool to find municipal regulations and local ordinances" gives a clear usage context, and the Gr vs GrA distinction tells the agent which corpus applies. However, it offers no exclusions or hand-offs (e.g., use ris_landesrecht for state-level law), so the agent must infer boundaries from sibling names.

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