Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true, so safety is covered, but the description adds nothing beyond that: no indication of what the returned information contains, whether it reflects configured or supported scopes, or whether it depends on external discovery.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

A single short sentence with no filler or redundancy. It is front-loaded, though the brevity comes at the cost of substance rather than because the content is fully covered.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With no output schema, the description carries the burden of explaining what is returned, and it does not. For a zero-arg informational tool the caller still needs to know whether the response is a scope list, a permissions mapping, or a configuration snapshot, and none of that is stated.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The tool takes zero parameters and the schema is fully closed (additionalProperties: false), so there is no parameter semantics to explain. Baseline 4 applies since the description cannot and need not add parameter meaning.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose3/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

"Get information about OAuth scopes and permissions" names a resource domain but the verb is generic ("get information") and largely restates the tool name (get_oauth_scopes_info). It does not say whether the result is a list of scope strings, a configuration blob, or documentation, nor how it differs from the sibling test_oauth_discovery_endpoints.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

There is no when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites, and no mention of alternatives such as test_oauth_discovery_endpoints or other info tools in the sibling set. An agent must infer the use case entirely from the tool name.

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