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

With no annotations, the description provides key behavioral details: it uses live economy data, applies a high-demand bonus formula with player count and cap, and supports optional multipliers. It does not mention safety or authentication, but for a read-only calculator this is acceptable.

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 two sentences, no wasted words, and front-loads the core action ('Calculate a GTA Online business sell value'). It efficiently conveys all necessary 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 (3 params, no output schema), the description is nearly complete. It explains the bonus formula and live data usage. The only gap is the exact output format, but 'sell value' is sufficiently informative for a calculator tool.

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 covers all parameters (100% coverage), but the description adds meaningful context: it explains how the 'players' parameter contributes to the bonus (+2.5%/player, cap 50%) and that 'bonusMultiplier' is for weekly events (2x/3x). This goes beyond the schema's terse descriptions.

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's function: calculating GTA Online business sell value with a specific bonus and multiplier. It uses a specific verb ('calculate') and resource ('sell value'), and distinguishes itself from sibling tools like 'gta-payback-calculator' and 'gta-business-economics'.

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 when to use the tool (to compute sell values with bonuses), but does not explicitly state when not to use it or provide alternatives. However, the purpose is clear enough that an agent can infer appropriate usage.

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