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

Annotations already carry readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint=false. The description adds value by stating the required scope (server:read), HTTP method, and that data is collected directly from the OS.

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 compact and front-loaded: the key behavior is the first sentence. The remaining lines (HTTP, category, scopes, read-only) are short and useful.

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?

For a zero-parameter read-only endpoint, the description covers invocation basics, but with no output schema it does not describe which system metrics are returned or how the response is structured. That leaves some ambiguity for tool selection, especially given overlapping server-metrics sibling tools.

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 input schema has zero parameters, which is the baseline-4 case. There are no parameter semantics to document, and the description does not need to add any.

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?

States a clear verb ('Returns') and resource ('system metrics collected directly from OS'), so an agent knows what it does. It does not explicitly distinguish itself from metrics or server-metrics siblings, so it falls short of a 5.

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 when-to-use guidance or alternatives are given; the description only states what the endpoint returns and its authentication requirements. The agent must infer use cases from the tool name and category.

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