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 discloses that it returns the first matching record or a message if not found, which is useful behavioral context. However, it doesn't cover aspects like error handling, performance implications, or authentication needs, leaving gaps for a tool with mutation potential (searching and reading data).

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 front-loaded with the core purpose, followed by structured sections for arguments and returns. Every sentence earns its place with no wasted words, making it highly efficient and easy to parse.

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 moderate complexity (3 parameters, no annotations, but with an output schema), the description is reasonably complete. It covers purpose, parameters, and return behavior. The output schema likely details the return structure, so the description doesn't need to elaborate further, but it could benefit from more context on error cases or usage nuances.

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 description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It lists the three parameters (model, domain, fields) and briefly explains their purposes, adding meaning beyond the bare schema. However, it doesn't provide details on format (e.g., Odoo domain syntax specifics) or examples, leaving some ambiguity.

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 purpose: 'Search and return the first matching record.' It specifies the verb (search and return) and resource (record), though it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'search_records' or 'get_record' beyond calling itself a 'convenience method.'

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 usage by stating it's a 'convenience method' for retrieving the first match, but it doesn't explicitly say when to use this versus alternatives like 'search_records' (which might return multiple records) or 'get_record' (which might require a specific ID). No exclusions or prerequisites are mentioned.

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