search_wiki

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

No annotations provided. Description states return fields but does not mention read-only nature, permissions, or side effects. Adequate but not rich.

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?

Single sentence, no wasted words, directly states purpose and output. Highly concise and front-loaded.

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?

No output schema or annotations. Description covers basic purpose and return fields but omits behavior like pagination, scope, or implications of titleOnly. Adequate for simple 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?

Schema coverage is 50%. Description does not add any information about parameters like keyword, limit, space, or titleOnly. Falls below baseline of 3 due to lack of compensation.

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?

Description clearly states the tool searches Confluence Wiki by keyword and returns title, pageId, and URL. Distinguished from siblings which are specific retrievals.

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 explicit guidance on when to use versus alternatives. Implicitly the only search tool, but no mention of when to prefer other tools like get_wiki_page.

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