sixflags_get_park_schedule

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so the tool is a safe read. The description adds behavioral context: 'from today forward' indicates temporal scope, and the usage advice gives practical context. No destructive behavior is disclosed or contradicted.

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 efficient sentences: first states what the tool does, second states its purpose. No filler or redundancy. Information is front-loaded and every word earns its place.

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 is adequate for a simple two-parameter tool with no output schema, but it does not specify the return format (e.g., list of dates with times). While the purpose is clear, a more complete description could benefit agent planning.

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 descriptions cover both parameters fully (100% coverage), including defaults. The tool description repeats the default home park but adds no further meaning beyond what's in the schema. Thus, it meets baseline but adds no extra value.

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 it retrieves operating hours for a Six Flags park, which is distinct from sibling tools like wait times, attractions, shows, etc. It specifies the resource (park schedule) and action (get), making it unambiguous.

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 a clear use case: 'plan what time to arrive and how long you have.' It implies when to use this tool, but does not explicitly exclude alternatives or mention when not to use it. However, given sibling tools, the context is sufficient.

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