Monitoring status summary

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

Annotations already provided readOnlyHint and openWorldHint. The description adds behavioral details such as returning per-domain AI-visibility score, last audit time, next run time, and recent changes, going beyond 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?

Two sentences, front-loading the purpose with no redundant words. Every sentence adds value.

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 no parameters, read-only annotations, and no output schema, the description adequately explains what the tool returns per domain. No gaps in context.

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?

No parameters exist, so the parameter semantics dimension has a baseline of 4. The description correctly implies there are no inputs needed.

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 uses a specific verb ('get') and resource ('glanceable summary of monitoring status across all tracked websites'). It clearly distinguishes from sibling tools by focusing on a high-level dashboard view.

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 explicitly lists when to use the tool with example queries ('how are my tracked sites doing'). It does not explicitly state when not to use it or name alternatives, but the context is clear enough.

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