search_products

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

With no annotations, the description solely explains return data but fails to disclose pagination behavior, error handling, or read-only nature. It lacks transparency about how results are ordered or what happens with no matches.

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 concise with two sentences, front-loaded with purpose and return data. Every word adds value, no redundancy.

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 3 parameters and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It fails to explain pagination parameters or search behavior beyond basic keyword matching, leaving critical usage gaps.

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 has 0% description coverage, and the description only implies 'searchText' via 'by keyword' but provides no explanation for 'pageSize' and 'pageNumber'. It adds minimal meaning beyond the schema's type definitions.

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 'search' and the resource 'D-Tools SI product catalog by keyword', and specifies return data (pricing, manufacturer, specification). It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like get_catalog and list_catalogs.

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 usage guidelines provided. The description does not mention when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it provide context on prerequisites or when not to use it.

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