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

No annotations are provided, so the description must bear the full burden of disclosing behavioral traits. It only states what is listed, but does not mention that this is a read-only operation, whether authentication is required, rate limits, or how pagination works. The title implies 'Read', but the description lacks explicit behavioral disclosure.

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 sentence, which is efficient in length. However, it sacrifices necessary details for brevity, leaving gaps in parameter usage and behavioral transparency. It is front-loaded with the key verb and resource but lacks completeness.

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 should elaborate on the return structure or behavior. It mentions the types of items listed but does not describe the format, pagination, or how to handle large results. For a tool with no annotations and rich sibling tools, more context is needed.

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 description coverage is 0%, meaning the description adds no meaning to the two parameters (limit, filter). The description does not mention these parameters or their roles. Without this context, the agent must rely solely on the schema, which lacks descriptions, making it hard to understand what filter values like 'unread' or 'comments' mean in this context.

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 verb 'Lists' and the resource 'inbox items', specifying the types included (private messages, comment replies, mentions). The title 'Read private messages / inbox' reinforces the purpose and distinguishes it from sibling tools that deal with user info, posts, or actions like sending messages.

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, contexts where this is appropriate, or when to avoid it. Sibling tools like reddit_search or reddit_mark_read are not referenced, leaving the agent to infer usage without explicit help.

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

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

The description implies a read-only operation but does not explicitly state it is safe or non-destructive. With no annotations, the description should clarify that it only retrieves data without side effects.

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?

A single sentence that is concise and to the point. No unnecessary information.

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?

The description does not specify what 'profile' includes (e.g., username, karma, etc.). With no output schema, the agent lacks detailed understanding of the return value, making it incomplete.

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?

No parameters; baseline score of 4 as per rules. The description does not need to explain parameters but confirms the tool requires no input.

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 'Profile of the Reddit account this server is authorized as' clearly indicates the tool returns the authenticated user's account data. It is specific enough but could explicitly state that it differs from reddit_get_user by focusing on the authorized account.

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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives like reddit_get_user. While the tool's simplicity reduces the need, explicit context would help an agent decide.

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

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

With no annotations, description carries full burden but only discloses two identification methods; lacks info on auth, rate limits, error behavior, or effect of invalid inputs. Not misleading but 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?

Single, well-structured sentence front-loading the core purpose and identification options. No unnecessary words or repetition.

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 3 parameters, 0% schema coverage, no output schema, and no annotations, a single sentence is insufficient. Lacks guidance on return format, error cases, or pagination. Minimal yet functional.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Adds meaning for postId (accepts t3_ prefix or bare) and subreddit (required when not using full ID). However, does not explain commentSort parameter (enum values are in schema but no added context). Partially compensates for 0% schema coverage.

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?

Clearly states verb 'Fetch' and resource 'post (submission) and its comment tree', distinguishing it from sibling tools that list or search posts. However, does not explicitly contrast with siblings like 'reddit_get_subreddit_posts'.

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?

Implies usage when you have a post ID or subreddit+ID, but lacks explicit when-to-use vs. alternatives or when-not-to-use scenarios. No reference to sibling tools for comparison.

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

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

No annotations are provided, and the description only says 'list posts' without disclosing side effects, authentication needs, rate limits, or return behavior. Minimal behavioral context.

For a simple tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description provides essential purpose and output examples but lacks guidance on input format, error cases, and distinction from similar tools. Adequate but incomplete.

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 has 0% description coverage; the description mentions 'for a username' clarifying the parameter's role, but adds no format, constraints, or examples. Minimal added value beyond the schema's type field.

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?

Clearly states that the tool retrieves public profile information (karma, trophies, account age) for a given username, distinguishing it from sibling tools like reddit_get_me (authenticated user) and reddit_get_user_activity (activity data).

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?
