Behavior1/5

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

The description discloses no behavioral traits such as read-only nature, required permissions, or side effects. With no annotations provided, the agent has no insight into the tool's safety or operational characteristics.

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 concise (two words) but at the cost of informativeness. Important details are omitted, making it under-specified rather than efficiently concise.

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

Completeness1/5

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

Given the existence of an output schema and sibling tools, the description is completely inadequate. It does not explain what the tool returns, how it behaves with different parameters, or how it fits into the broader meal plan context.

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 description adds no meaning to the input schema parameters (item_id and accept-language). Since schema description coverage is 0%, the description should compensate, but it offers no information about parameter purpose or format.

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

Purpose1/5

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

The description 'Get One' is a tautology that repeats the tool's action without specifying the resource or scope. It fails to indicate that this tool retrieves household meal plans by item ID, and it does not distinguish it from similar sibling tools like 'get_households_mealplans_rules_by_item'.

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 such as 'list_households_mealplans' or 'get_households_mealplans_rules_by_item'. The agent receives no context for selecting this tool over others.

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