Behavior1/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It fails to mention any behavioral traits such as whether it uses AI, requires ingredients on hand, or returns a limited set of suggestions. The description is silent on these aspects.

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 but at the expense of being informative. It is not well-structured and provides no useful breakdown. While short, it fails to earn its place by adding value.

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 complexity of the tool (13 parameters, no annotations, no output schema explanation), the description is completely inadequate. It does not cover what the tool returns, how suggestions are generated, or any constraints.

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 provides no information about the 13 parameters (all optional, 0% schema coverage). It does not add any meaning beyond the raw schema, which itself lacks descriptions. The agent cannot understand how to use parameters like 'foods', 'tools', 'orderBy', etc.

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

Purpose2/5

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

The description 'Suggest Recipes' is too vague. It does not clearly state what the tool does (e.g., list, generate, recommend) or differentiate it from sibling tool 'list_recipes'. A specific verb and resource are missing.

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

Usage Guidelines1/5

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

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like list_recipes or list_recipes_by_slug_comments. No context or prerequisites are provided.

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