get_gold_brief

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

The description reveals it is a paid endpoint ($0.25) and uses 'challenge-first by default', which are useful behavioral traits. However, with no annotations, more details about side effects, rate limits, or response size would improve transparency.

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?

The description is a single sentence. While concise, it omits important context, making it under-specified rather than efficiently informative.

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 the absence of an output schema and the complexity of sibling tools, the description fails to explain what a 'Ripple Report' contains or how it compares to outputs of get_gold_signals and similar tools. It leaves the agent guessing.

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 100%, so parameters are already described. The description adds no additional semantic information beyond the schema's parameter descriptions.

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 states it returns a Disruption Intelligence Ripple Report and mentions the endpoint, making the purpose clear. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like get_gold_signals, which might also return report-like data.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description lacks context about when to prefer get_gold_brief over other get_gold_* or analysis tools.

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