veroq_world_gdp

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It states the tool returns GDP values, growth rates, and historical comparison, and notes a cost of 1 credit. However, it does not disclose data freshness, update frequency, or any limitations. For a read-only tool, the behavioral disclosure is adequate but not rich.

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 concise with a clear purpose statement and structured sections (WHEN TO USE, RETURNS, COST, EXAMPLE). It is front-loaded and easy to scan, though the empty example adds no value. Every sentence earns its place.

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?

For a tool with no parameters and no output schema, the description covers purpose, usage guidance, return values, and cost. It is sufficiently complete for the tool's simplicity, leaving no major gaps for an agent to understand what the tool does and what to expect.

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 tool has zero parameters, so the baseline is 4. The schema coverage is 100% trivially, and the description does not need to add parameter meaning. The description correctly omits parameter details since none exist.

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 the tool provides US GDP data from the World Bank with specific focus on gross domestic product and growth rates. The title 'veroq_world_gdp' is reinforced by the description, and it distinguishes itself from sibling tools like 'veroq_economy' or 'veroq_economy_indicator' by specifying US GDP.

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 includes a 'WHEN TO USE' section that advises using the tool for GDP data and economic growth analysis, and mentions its utility for macro context and long-term trend analysis. While it does not explicitly mention when not to use it or alternatives, the provided guidance is clear and actionable.

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