succession_law_guide

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

No annotations are present, so the description must fully convey behavior. It identifies the tool as a 'guide' and includes 'DEMO', hinting at limited functionality, but does not disclose what the tool actually does when called, any side effects, or the nature of its output.

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 extremely concise—only one line. It is front-loaded with the tool's purpose. However, it omits important details, slightly reducing effectiveness for the sake of brevity.

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 tool's simplicity (one optional param, exists output schema), the description is incomplete. It does not explain the parameter's role, the tool's exact function, or provide enough context for an agent to use it correctly.

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 input schema has one parameter ('situation') with no description. The tool description does not mention this parameter or explain when or how to use it. With 0% schema description coverage, the description completely fails to add meaning to the parameter.

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 it is a 'Kenya succession law guide' covering inheritance rights, intestacy rules, and gender equity. While it lacks an explicit action verb, the purpose is evident and distinguishes it from sibling tools which address more specific topics.

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 usage guidance is provided. The description does not explain when to use this tool over the sibling tools (e.g., caretaker_records_guide, will_writing_guide), nor does it specify any prerequisites or context for invocation.

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