check_fingerprint_quality

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

No annotations provided; description discloses read-like behavior (analyze, return score) but does not specify if it modifies data, requires prerequisites, or has rate limits. Adequate but not thorough.

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?

Two sentences, concise and to the point. The second sentence uses bullet-style listing but is effective. No superfluous 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 a single parameter and presence of an output schema, the description covers inputs, analysis focus (dimensions, gaps), and outputs (quality score, recommendations). Complete for a check 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?

Only one parameter (league_id) with full schema coverage. Description does not add extra meaning beyond the schema's 'UUID of the league.' Baseline score applies.

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?

Clearly states the tool checks fingerprint quality and completeness, analyzing dimensions and returning a score with recommendations. Distinguishes from siblings like 'get_fingerprint' and 'generate_fingerprint'.

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?

Implied usage for assessing existing fingerprints, but lacks explicit guidance on when to use versus alternative tools like 'assess_league_readiness' or 'evaluate_league'. No exclusion criteria or context provided.

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