get_mica_status

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the full burden. It mentions 'Pro tier', indicating access restrictions, but does not disclose other behavioral traits such as side effects, authentication requirements, rate limits, or what happens if the entity_slug is invalid.

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 extremely short (two phrases), which is concise but at the expense of crucial information. It fails to explain what the tool returns or any usage context, making it under-specified rather than genuinely concise.

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 has one parameter, no annotations, and no output schema, the description should compensate by explaining the return value and typical use cases. It does not, leaving the agent uninformed about what to expect from the 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?

The schema has 0% description coverage, and the description adds only 'per project', implying entity_slug is a project identifier. It does not explain the format, expected values, or how to obtain entity_slug, leaving the agent with insufficient semantic understanding.

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 states it tracks EU MiCA compliance per project, which gives some purpose, but it is vague as it does not specify what exactly the status is (e.g., boolean, score, report). It is somewhat distinguishable from sibling 'get_regulatory_status' by being EU-specific, but not explicitly.

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. There is no mention of the 'Pro tier' requirement or that it is specific to EU MiCA regulation, which would help differentiate from similar tools like 'get_regulatory_status'.

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