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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden and does well: it discloses grouping, default omission of section V due to volume, the Sunday no-BOE rule, and accent-insensitive filtering. It does not explicitly state read-only behavior or auth/rate-limit characteristics, but the summary nature strongly implies a safe read.

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 front-loaded with the purpose, then gives one compact line per parameter and edge case. Every sentence is useful and nothing is repetitive.

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 3-parameter tool with an output schema and no annotations, the description covers purpose, parameter formats, defaults, and important edge cases. It is nearly complete, missing only explicit routing against 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?

Schema description coverage is 0%, yet the description fully documents all three parameters: fecha accepts AAAA-MM-DD, 'hoy', or 'ayer' with a Sunday caveat; incluir_anuncios defaults to false and controls section V; filtro is optional and accent-insensitive. This adds substantial meaning beyond the bare schema titles.

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 specific resource and operation: daily BOE summary grouped by section and department, with output fields. It is clear what the tool returns, but it does not explicitly differentiate itself from siblings like buscar_legislacion or novedades.

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 implies usage through 'Sumario del BOE de un día' and notes that Sundays have no BOE, but it does not state when to choose this tool over sibling tools such as buscar_legislacion or novedades. Usage is inferable but not explicitly guided.

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