Search clans

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

With no annotations, the description should disclose behavioral traits. It does not mention that this is a read-only operation, any rate limits, authentication requirements, or what happens if no results are found. It only states a basic search function.

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 very concise with one sentence. While brevity is positive, it omits critical details, making it inadequate for a tool with three parameters and no schema descriptions. Structure is fine, but conciseness is overemphasized at the expense of 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 the lack of output schema and annotations, plus incomplete parameter descriptions, the tool description leaves many gaps. The agent cannot infer default behavior, pagination, error handling, or how to effectively use filters. This lacks contextual completeness for smooth invocation.

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%, so the description must add meaning. It says 'by name and/or filters' but does not explain what each parameter does (e.g., name matching behavior, limit constraints, minMembers usage). This leaves the agent with insufficient information to correctly set parameters.

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 uses the verb 'Search' and specifies the resource 'clans', clearly indicating the tool's function. It mentions both name and filters, which aligns with the input parameters. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like coc_get_clan, though the distinction is implied.

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 when not to use it or any prerequisite conditions. The description lacks any usage context.

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