network_ip_geolocation

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

No annotations provided; description does not disclose behavioral traits such as whether the tool performs network requests, accuracy limitations, or rate limits. Vague 'detailed network analysis' is insufficient.

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?

Description is short but contains non-essential information like 'Menu ID: ip_geo. IP Geolocation Tool.' and a reference to another tool. Could be more direct without these extras.

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?

While output details are partially described, the critical missing input parameter (IP address) undermines completeness. No output schema exists to compensate, and the description fails to specify how to supply the IP address.

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 description focuses on IP address geolocation but the input schema only includes an optional worker_id parameter. No mention of worker_id or any IP parameter, creating a mismatch that misleads the agent about required inputs.

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?

Description states the tool finds geographic location of any IP address and lists output fields. However, the input schema lacks an IP parameter, causing confusion. Also references a menu ID and suggests using another tool, which detracts from clarity.

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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives. Merely describes functionality and refers to describe_tool for 'full page guidance', which does not offer usage recommendations.

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