mhlb_new_student_form

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so safety of the read is covered. The description adds genuinely non-derivable context: the returned text is third-party authored and untrusted, and must be treated as data rather than instructions — a meaningful prompt-injection disclosure. It stops short of describing size, caching, or session-bound behavior.

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?

Two sentences, both earning their place: the first covers purpose, contents, and the hand-off to mhlb_create_student; the second covers the trust boundary. Front-loaded with the core action and with no redundant restatement of the title or annotations.

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?

With no output schema, the description carries the burden of explaining returns and does so: blank profile, dropdown options, and a `data` field for the create step. It also flags the untrusted-content risk, which is the main non-obvious hazard for a zero-parameter form fetcher, leaving nothing an agent needs to invoke it correctly.

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 tool takes zero parameters, so the baseline is 4 per the rubric. The description goes beyond the empty schema by describing the shape of what comes back (blank profile plus dropdown options, exposed as `data`), which is output rather than input detail but still adds useful signal.

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?

States a specific verb (Get) and resource (blank student profile plus school/grade/teacher dropdown options), and names the downstream consumer mhlb_create_student, which implicitly separates it from mhlb_get_student_form. However, it never explicitly contrasts itself with the similarly-named sibling mhlb_get_student_form, so an agent still has to infer which form-retrieval tool applies.

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 gives clear downstream usage (fill in and pass `data` to mhlb_create_student), which is useful workflow context. It does not state when to prefer it over mhlb_get_student_form or any precondition for calling it, so the when-vs-alternative guidance remains implied rather than explicit.

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