Get Plagiarism Summary

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

There are no annotations, so the description bears full responsibility for disclosing behavior. It merely states that a summary is provided, with no mention of whether it is read-only, has side effects, or requires specific permissions. The lack of transparency about its operational characteristics is a significant gap.

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 extremely concise, containing only a single phrase. It is not overly verbose, which is a positive, but it might benefit from a bit more detail to be fully informative. The structure is clean and to the point, leading to a high but not perfect score.

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?

The description is minimal and does not explain what the summary includes, how it is formatted, or whether it is a list, a count, or a detailed report. Since no output schema is provided, this lack of context makes it difficult for the agent to know what to expect, leaving the tool incomplete in terms of contextual information.

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 schema provides a description for the only parameter, 'session_id' as 'Active session ID', which gives basic context. The main description adds no further detail about this parameter, so the schema description carries the semantic weight. This is adequate but not enhanced beyond the schema baseline.

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 'Summary of all plagiarism checks performed' clearly indicates the tool provides a summary of plagiarism checks. Although it lacks an explicit verb, the name 'get_plagiarism_summary' and the context make the purpose clear, and it is distinct from sibling tools that perform other plagiarism-related actions.

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus the sibling tools (e.g., after running checks, before viewing detailed results). It does not mention any prerequisites or context-specific usage, leaving the agent to infer the appropriate timing or workflow.

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