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

Since no annotations were provided, the description carries the entire burden of behavioral transparency. It offers no information regarding potential failure modes, rate limits, or the specific security implications of using the passphrase, making it highly opaque.

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 definition uses a single sentence to succinctly convey the tool's core function without any unnecessary verbiage or bloat, making it perfectly concise.

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?

While the tool is simple (2 params, no output schema), the lack of guidance on its usage relative to other retrieval tools, and the missing behavioral context for a critical vault operation, prevent a higher score.

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 coverage is 100%, meaning the schema fully documents the parameters. The description adds no semantic value or contextual information that isn't already provided in the input schema definitions.

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 action ('Resolve' or 'decrypt') and the target resource ('a single secret from the team vault'). It successfully defines the primary purpose.

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 provides zero guidance on when this tool should be used. Given the existence of sibling tools like `resolve_secret` or `list_secrets`, the definition fails to specify any operational context or constraints for its use.

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