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

With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It discloses important behavioral aspects like returning both successful cards and per-TIN errors, and that one bad TIN doesn't break the whole call. However, it omits whether the operation is read-only or has side effects, and no mention of authorization or rate limits.

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 two short sentences with no fluff. The first sentence front-loads the core purpose and capacity, and the second explains the return structure and error handling. Every word contributes value.

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 simple input schema (one parameter) and the existence of an output schema (not provided but implied), the description sufficiently covers maximum batch size, return format (cards/errors), and partial failure behavior. It is complete for its complexity.

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?

Although the schema has no description for the 'inns' parameter, the description mentions 'отдельным ИНН' (individual TINs), clarifying that the array contains Russian tax identifiers. With 0% schema coverage, the description adds meaning beyond the raw schema.

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 performs a massive upload of up to 100 cards per call, specifying the action (выгрузка) and resource (карточек). It distinguishes itself from siblings like search_by_inn by handling multiple INNs and returning partial errors.

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 indicates usage for batch card retrieval with a capacity limit of 100, but does not explicitly state when not to use it or list alternatives. However, the context of sibling tools and the capacity hint provide implicit guidance.

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