extract_multiple_webpages

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

The description mentions content extraction with analysis and a performance limit, but lacks details on return format, error handling, or authentication needs. With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden, and it falls short of fully disclosing behavior.

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 a single sentence that conveys the core functionality and constraint without any wasted words. It is well-structured and front-loaded with essential information.

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 tool's simplicity (single array parameter, no output schema), the description covers the basic purpose and constraint. However, it omits information about response structure, potential failure modes, and the meaning of 'analyze', leaving some gaps for complete 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?

The schema has 100% coverage, including details about public URLs and the 5-URL limit. The description does not add additional parameter meaning beyond what the schema already provides, so baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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 extracts and analyzes content from multiple webpages, specifying the verb 'extract and analyze' and the resource 'multiple webpages'. It also mentions the 5-URL limit, distinguishing it from single-page extraction tools like its sibling 'extract_webpage_content'.

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 implies batch extraction for multiple URLs and sets a performance limit of 5 URLs, providing guidance on when to use. While it doesn't explicitly exclude alternatives, the sibling tool names suggest single URL extraction, making the context clear.

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