customers_autocomplete

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

No annotations provided and description lacks behavioral details such as matching algorithm (exact, prefix, fuzzy), rate limits, or return format. Minimal transparency.

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?

Very brief single sentence, no wasted words. However, lacks structure for output or usage context, which would be helpful.

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?

No output schema and description does not specify what the autocomplete returns (e.g., list of names, IDs, objects). Incomplete for a search 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?

Schema coverage is 100% with parameter description. Tool description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema already states, so baseline score of 3.

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?

Description clearly states it is an autocomplete search for customers by name or business, which is specific and distinguishes it from list or get tools. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from siblings.

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?

Implies usage for typeahead/autocomplete scenarios but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this vs customers_list or other search tools.

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