Behavior2/5

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

No annotations provided, and the description offers no information about side effects, permissions, rate limits, or returned data. While there is an output schema, the description does not hint at the behavior (e.g., read-only, auth required).

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness2/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is extremely terse (only 3 words), which sacrifices clarity. While it is short, it is not concise because it omits necessary context. Every sentence should earn its place, but here the single phrase fails to inform adequately.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given zero annotations and a simple schema, the description is insufficient. It does not explain the tool's role among many auth-related siblings, nor does it clarify the return value or authentication requirements.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The tool has zero parameters and 100% schema description coverage (empty schema). The description adds nothing beyond the schema, but the baseline is 4 for zero parameters since no additional meaning is needed.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose3/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description 'Get Api Key' states a verb and resource, but it is ambiguous: it does not specify whose API key (e.g., current user, any user) or what type of key. This vagueness could lead an agent to misuse the tool.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like generate_api_key or delete_api_key. The description does not mention context or prerequisites, leaving the agent without direction.

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