A4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds meaningful behavioral context by specifying what the tool models: income changes, Roth conversions, retirement contributions, and bracket management. No contradiction between the 'Create' wording and the read-only annotation is present.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is a single, well-structured sentence that front-loads the core purpose ('Create a 3-5 year tax projection and strategy') before listing the modeled factors. Every phrase earns its place with no redundancy or filler.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Given the rich input schema with required fields and an output schema, the description covers the strategic purpose sufficiently for an agent to select and invoke the tool. It could add more nuance about required per-year input structure, but the schema already documents those constraints, and the annotations cover the behavioral safety profile.

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 description coverage is only 33%, but the description partially compensates by naming planning levers that map to parameters: Roth conversions (plannedRothConversion), retirement contributions (plannedIRA/planned401k), and income changes (expectedIncome). It does not explain top-level parameters like currentAge or per-year fields like stateCode and dependents, leaving some meaning to be inferred from 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 description clearly states the verb 'Create' and the specific resource: a 3-5 year tax projection and strategy. It names the key modeled dimensions (income changes, Roth conversions, retirement contributions, bracket management), which helps identify the tool's purpose. It does not explicitly contrast with siblings like generate_tax_plan or simulate_tax_scenario, but 'multi-year' provides meaningful differentiation.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The description establishes clear context: this is for multi-year tax projection and strategy, which naturally distinguishes it from single-year calculators among the siblings. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or name alternatives, so it stops short of full routing guidance.

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