Setell pricing signal

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. Description adds that it evaluates the latest quote version, falls back to industry benchmark, and details return fields like priceResponse with FORMING status. No contradiction with annotations.

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?

Front-loaded with the key action and purpose. A bit lengthy with return field descriptions, but each sentence adds value. Could be slightly tighter, but structure is effective.

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?

No output schema provided, but description lists and explains return fields (verdict, reasoning, recommendedAmount, comparables, layer, priceResponse). This compensates well. For a read-only tool with one parameter, it is complete enough.

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 100% coverage with a description for jobId. Description adds context on finding jobId via setell_find_jobs and clarifies it evaluates the latest quote. This adds value beyond the schema 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?

Description uses a specific verb ('Get') and resource ('pricing signal verdict') and clearly distinguishes from siblings like setell_get_quote by specifying it's a pre-send evaluation. The context signals list 25 sibling tools, and this description uniquely positions the tool as a pricing analyst check.

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?

Explicitly says 'Use this before send_quote-style actions' and advises on what to do with verdicts: FLAG warrants confirmation, WARN is autonomy-mode-dependent. Does not explicitly mention when not to use or alternatives, but given the sibling list, the usage context is clear.

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