A3.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already establish that this is a read-only, open-world operation. The description adds useful behavioral context by stating that all tracks are returned and that empty tracks are included, which is not obvious from annotations alone. It does not discuss authentication, rate limits, or return shape, so it is not a 5.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single efficient sentence with the scope and key inclusion behavior front-loaded. Every phrase contributes information and there is no unnecessary wording.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

This is a simple two-parameter read operation and no output schema exists, so the description need not explain return values in detail. However, with 0% schema coverage it remains incomplete because packageName is never described, and the edit context is only loosely implied.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate for both required parameters. It implies editId through 'existing app edit' but does not explain packageName at all, leaving the meaning of one of two required parameters undocumented.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description uses a specific verb and resource: read all tracks from an existing app edit. It also clarifies that empty tracks are included, which helps distinguish it from a simple track lookup. It does not explicitly differentiate itself from siblings such as get_track or list_track_releases, so it falls short of a 5.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The phrase 'from an existing app edit' implies the prerequisite context, but the description does not say when to use this tool instead of get_track, list_track_releases, or update_track. Usage is inferable but not explicitly guided.

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