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

Description adds significant context beyond annotations: explains it makes exactly one minimal GET request with limit=1 and empty projection, does not modify anything, and returns errors as actionable MCP tool errors. Annotations already indicate read-only and idempotent, but description enriches.

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?

Description is concise, well-structured, and front-loaded with purpose. Each sentence adds value without redundancy. Appropriate length for the tool's simplicity.

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 low complexity (1 optional param, no nested objects, output schema exists), description is complete: covers behavior, error handling, return format, and use case. No gaps.

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?

Only one parameter with 100% schema coverage; description adds little beyond schema's own description of response_format. Baseline of 3 is appropriate as schema already documents the parameter well.

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 verifies live mTLS access or validates offline fixture, with specific verb 'verify' and resource 'Logitech Sync connection'. It distinguishes from sibling tools which are all about reports or inventory.

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?

Explicitly says 'Use this first after setup', providing clear context for when to invoke. Describes two modes (live and fixture) with behavioral differences, but does not explicitly state when not to use it or list alternatives.

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