List Accepted Weather Conditions

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

Annotations already provide readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true. The description adds value by explaining that the response is a paginated JSON array with pagination metadata. No contradictions with annotations. Deprecation status is also disclosed.

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 relatively concise, front-loading the core purpose and deprecation status. However, the mention of 'Daily Log records' feels misplaced and reduces clarity. Otherwise, well-structured with logical flow.

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 of the tool (listing weather conditions), strong annotations, and full schema coverage, the description adequately covers purpose, deprecation, pagination, and required parameters. Lacks details about response structure beyond 'paginated JSON array,' but no output schema exists.

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 coverage is 100%, so baseline 3. Description mentions 'Required parameters: project_id' and 'Use page and per_page to control pagination,' but these are already covered in the schema. No additional semantic insight beyond the schema is provided.

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 it 'Returns accepted weather conditions' and lists the categories (sky, ground, temperature, calamity, wind). However, it confusingly also mentions 'Daily Log records,' which may conflate the purpose. The deprecation notice and endpoint reference add context.

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 states it is deprecated and directs to the new endpoint: 'please use [Weather Conditions](...)'. Provides clear guidance on when to use: 'to enumerate Daily Log records when you need a paginated overview, to find IDs, or to filter by query parameters.' Also mentions pagination control via page/per_page and required project_id.

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