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

The readOnlyHint annotation already signals a safe read operation. The description adds the specific fields returned, but does not disclose additional behavioral details such as response structure, ordering, or potential errors. It provides some value beyond the annotation but not extensive context.

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, compact line that front-loads the resource name. It is efficiently short, though it is a fragment rather than a complete sentence, which slightly reduces clarity.

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 simplicity (0 params), the readOnlyHint annotation, and the presence of an output schema, the description is adequately complete for an AI agent to understand the tool's basic function. It could benefit from an explicit action word, but it does not leave major 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?

The input schema has zero parameters, so the baseline is 4. The description correctly lists return fields but adds no parameter semantics since there are no parameters to describe.

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 identifies the resource (installed search plugins) and lists their fields, but lacks an explicit verb like 'list' or 'get'. It is clear enough to infer a read operation, but does not articulate the action as specifically as examples with verbs.

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 guidance is provided about when to use this tool versus the many sibling search tools (e.g., install/uninstall/enable/update plugins). The intended use is implied by the name, but the description does not state context, alternatives, or exclusions.

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