Wellness Onboarding Flow

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

Description starts with 'Read-only' and lists return items, but lacks details on authentication requirements or potential errors. Annotations already cover safety, so the description adds moderate value.

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, front-loaded with 'Read-only', no fluff. Every sentence provides necessary information efficiently.

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 lack of output schema, the description adequately covers what the tool returns and when to use it. Minor gaps in structural details, but sufficient for agent usage.

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 coverage is 50% and the description clarifies locale options but does not explain the response_format parameter. The description adds some value but not enough to fully compensate for the coverage gap.

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 the tool returns the 11-question Delx Wellness onboarding flow, shared profile, missing fields, and a hint. It distinguishes from sibling tools that fetch specific health metrics or perform other actions.

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 specifies usage when starting a fresh wellness session and lists fields to fill out, providing strong context. It does not explicitly mention when not to use it, but no sibling tool overlaps.

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