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

Annotations indicate a mutation (readOnlyHint=false) without destructive intent. The description's 'Replace' is consistent with these annotations and adds no extra behavioral details (e.g., prerequisites or error behavior), but the bar is lower due to existing annotations.

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, front-loaded, and free of unnecessary words. It earns its place with direct, actionable language.

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?

For a simple mutation tool, the description is minimally adequate. It covers the core action and mentions new_url, but lacks explicit detail about required parameters and potential side effects. The presence of an output schema reduces the need to describe return values, but overall completeness is only average.

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 0% and the description only explicitly explains new_url, while hash and url are implied but not clearly defined. It provides some context (url is the old tracker, hash identifies the torrent) but insufficiently compensates for the absent schema 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 action ('Replace a tracker URL on a torrent') and the target resource. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like add/remove trackers by specifying replacement with new_url.

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 usage is implied by the description: use this tool when you need to replace an existing tracker URL. However, it does not explicitly mention alternatives or when not to use it, providing only implied guidance.

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