get_digireel_pricing

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

Annotations already provide readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, and idempotentHint, so the description adds no further behavioral context beyond what annotations offer. It does not mention edge cases (e.g., invalid product numbers, quantity limits) or output behavior, so it fails to add value beyond the structured annotations.

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, front-loaded sentence with no superfluous words. It is as concise as possible while still conveying the core purpose, making it easy for an agent to parse quickly.

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 simple nature (3 params, no output schema), the description is still underwhelming. It fails to clarify how this tool differs from get_pricing_by_quantity or get_product_pricing, and does not describe expected return values or any behavioral nuances. The lack of contextual guidance makes it incomplete for safe and correct usage.

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%, and the description does not compensate. It mentions 'requested quantity' but does not clarify the role of product_number or account_id, nor does it explain any value constraints or formats. The description essentially restates the parameter name without adding semantic meaning.

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 with a specific verb ('Calculate') and resource ('DigiReel pricing'), plus the scope ('for a requested quantity'). It differentiates itself from sibling tools like get_product_pricing and get_pricing_by_quantity by specifying the DigiReel packaging type.

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 choose this tool over the many pricing-related siblings (e.g., get_product_pricing, get_pricing_by_quantity). There is no mention of alternatives, prerequisites, or exclusion criteria, leaving the agent to guess the intended usage.

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