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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden, and it does disclose that this is a read-only HTTP GET returning JSON, plus the body_file/params-map override behavior. However, it says nothing about the directory-admin authorization this endpoint requires, the fact that sources/readMask are effectively mandatory despite zero top-level required params, or pagination limits beyond what the schema states.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

The purpose is front-loaded and clear, but the second sentence is generic template boilerplate about request bodies/body_file that is not specific to this tool, and the 12-name sibling dump is long for the routing value it delivers.

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?

An output schema exists, so return-shape explanation is not needed. For a 9-param search tool with no annotations and inconsistent required-parameter metadata (sources and readMask are marked Required in their descriptions but the top-level required list is empty), the description should clarify the mandatory fields and the admin-scope prerequisite; it does neither.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema coverage is 78%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds one useful semantic (typed flags win over the params map) but no meaning for the key search parameters, and notably does not compensate for the truncated readMask enum list ('Valid values are: ') in the schema.

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 first sentence names a specific verb (search/list), the resource (domain profiles and domain contacts), and the scope (authenticated user's domain directory), with the qualifier 'that match the search query'. It is distinguishable from listDirectoryPeople and searchContacts only by inference from 'domain directory' and 'search query', not by explicit contrast.

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?

There is no explicit when-to-use or when-not guidance; the only routing signal is the trailing 'Siblings over the same resource' enumeration, which names searchContacts and listDirectoryPeople without saying which condition selects which. The agent must infer that this tool covers domain directory search versus personal contacts.

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