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

No annotations are present, and the description only states what the tool does without mentioning return format, error handling, or whether it is a read-only operation. It is not misleading, but transparency is minimal.

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 concise sentence that front-loads the primary action and resource. No unnecessary words or details.

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?

The description conveys the core functionality but lacks detail on output structure or any additional context. Given the absence of an output schema, it is moderately complete but not fully.

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?

The description mentions both parameters ('currency' and 'indicator'), giving some meaning beyond the names, but does not specify allowed values, formats, or examples. Since the schema has no descriptions, this adds partial value.

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 clearly states the action ('get') and the resource ('upcoming macroeconomic release dates') for a specific currency, with an optional filter. It is specific but does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'indicator_query'.

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?

Provides a hint about the optional indicator filter but gives no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as 'indicator_query' or 'data_catalogue'. No explicit conditions or scenarios are described.

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