Behavior2/5

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

The description discloses no behavioral traits such as side effects, authentication requirements, or rate limits. With no annotations, the description carries the full burden, which is not met.

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

Conciseness2/5

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

The description is extremely short but omits essential details. It is under-informative, sacrificing substance for brevity.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given the many sibling tools and the generic params field, the description is incomplete. It fails to explain the tool's purpose, parameters, or return value, even though an output schema exists.

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

Parameters1/5

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

The input schema has a single 'params' field with no description (0% coverage). The description adds no meaning to this parameter, leaving the agent without guidance on what to include.

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

Purpose3/5

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

The description identifies the tool as the Zabbix API widget.create method, indicating a create action on widgets. However, it does not elaborate on what a widget is or differentiate from other widget methods (e.g., zabbix_widget_get) beyond the verb.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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. The description lacks context about prerequisites, limitations, or comparisons to sibling tools like zabbix_widget_update or zabbix_widget_delete.

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