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

No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only states what the tool does ('check status') but does not mention read-only nature, data freshness, or any side effects. This is insufficient for a tool with no annotation support.

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, clear sentence that is front-loaded with the core purpose. No unnecessary words, perfectly concise for the information provided.

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?

With 2 optional parameters, no required fields, and no output schema, the description covers the tool's purpose adequately. It explains what information is retrieved (status, inventory, worth analysis). Minor omission: 'status' could be clarified, but overall sufficient for this simple tool.

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 coverage is 100% and both parameters are well-documented with descriptions and defaults. The description adds minimal value beyond the schema, only mentioning 'optional plat-per-ducat worth analysis' which corresponds to show_worth_analysis. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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 checks Baro Ki'Teer's current status, inventory, and optional plat-per-ducat analysis. It specifies the resource (Baro Ki'Teer) and the actions, distinguishing it from sibling tools like market_price_check or prime_vault_status.

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 use when you need Baro's inventory or status, but does not provide explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like market_price_check or search_drops. No exclusions or contextual cues are given.

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