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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so the description focuses on what the tool returns and its paid tier behavior. It adds value by detailing output components and a usage example. No contradictions, no negative side effects mentioned.

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?

Three focused sentences plus an example. Purpose is front-loaded, key outputs listed, and contrast with alternative tools is clear. Every sentence adds value with no redundancy.

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 no output schema, the description explains return components (markets, ISOs, rollup, leaderboard, paid thesis). It covers the main outputs well but lacks details on data format or optional parameters beyond the hint.

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%, so parameters are undocumented. The description only hints at max_months via an example but does not explain limit or the exact semantics of either parameter. This leaves the agent guessing parameter function and constraints.

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's specific purpose: forward-looking radar for next hyperscale-friendly grids in US markets/ISOs. It distinguishes itself from retrospective reports and provides a concrete example. The verb 'returns' and resource list are explicit.

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 positions this tool as the predictive counterpart to historical reports, giving usage context. However, it does not explicitly name alternatives or state when not to use it. The paid key mention implies a prerequisite but not a strict usage guideline.

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