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

Annotations provide readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true, and openWorldHint=false, covering safety and idempotency. The description adds context beyond this: it specifies the tool shows 'all collected data' and is for 'approval', clarifying behavioral scope without contradicting annotations. No contradiction is present.

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 two concise sentences that are front-loaded with the core purpose. Every word adds value, with no redundancy or fluff, making it highly efficient and well-structured.

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?

Given the tool's low complexity (1 parameter), rich annotations covering safety and idempotency, and no output schema, the description provides sufficient context for a preview operation. It could improve by detailing output format or error cases, but it's largely complete for its purpose.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage and 1 parameter, the description doesn't mention the 'application_id' parameter explicitly. However, it implies parameter usage by referring to 'filled admission form', which likely requires an application ID. Since there's only one parameter and the context is clear, it compensates adequately, scoring above the 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 clearly states the verb 'preview' and the resource 'filled admission form', specifying it shows 'all collected data for approval'. It distinguishes from siblings like 'confirm_and_submit_admission_form' (submission) and 'get_admission_form_status' (status check), but doesn't explicitly contrast them, keeping it at 4.

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 context ('before submission', 'for approval'), suggesting it's used to review data prior to finalizing. However, it doesn't explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'get_admission_form_status' or prerequisites, leaving some ambiguity.

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