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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It implies a read-only operation ('List all') but doesn't disclose behavioral traits like pagination, sorting, filtering capabilities, rate limits, or authentication needs. For a listing tool with no annotation coverage, this is insufficient.

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, efficient sentence that directly states the tool's purpose without unnecessary words. It is appropriately sized and front-loaded, with every part contributing 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 tool's low complexity (no functional parameters, no output schema) and lack of annotations, the description is minimally adequate but incomplete. It states what the tool does but misses behavioral context (e.g., how artifacts are returned, any limitations), which is needed for a listing operation in this evidence collection domain.

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?

The input schema has 100% description coverage, documenting the single parameter as a dummy for no-parameter tools. The description adds no parameter details, which is acceptable since the schema fully covers it. With zero functional parameters, the baseline is 4, as no compensation is needed.

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 ('List all') and target resource ('acquisition artifacts'), with the purpose 'for evidence collection' providing context. However, it doesn't differentiate from similar listing tools like 'list_acquisition_profiles' or 'list_assets' among the many siblings, which prevents a perfect score.

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?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. With many sibling tools including other listing functions (e.g., 'list_acquisition_profiles', 'list_assets'), the description lacks any context about scope, prerequisites, or comparisons, leaving usage ambiguous.

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