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

With no annotations, the description bears full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It does not mention side effects, required permissions, or data sensitivity. The 'DEMO' label hints at limited functionality but is insufficient.

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 very short, but the 'DEMO' tag adds noise without value. It is structured as a single sentence, but does not front-load critical information like the fact that it is a demo.

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 complexity (1 optional parameter, siblings in similar domain), the description is incomplete. It neither explains the tool's scope nor distinguishes it from alternatives. The output schema is present but unaddressed.

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 schema has 0% description coverage, and the description does not explain the 'coop_type' parameter. It does not specify allowed values, despite a default of 'sacco'. The output schema exists but is not described.

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 'Benefits and obligations of Kenya cooperative membership. DEMO.' uses a noun phrase instead of an action verb, making the tool's purpose unclear. The 'DEMO' tag may confuse agents about its functionality. It fails to distinguish from sibling tools with similar scope.

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 is provided on when to use this tool versus its siblings (e.g., cooperative_rights_query, sacco_loan_guide). The description lacks context for appropriate usage scenarios or prerequisites.

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