find_short_words

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

The only behavioral disclosure is 'Costs $0.001 USDC via x402,' which usefully reveals the payment requirement. However, with no annotations, the description still fails to disclose what the tool does, what it returns, or any side effects.

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 short but the first sentence is largely a tautology of the tool name and category. The cost sentence provides some value, but overall the brevity comes at the expense of useful detail.

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?

With no output schema and no annotations, the description carries the full burden of explaining functionality and parameters. It is entirely inadequate for an agent to understand what 'short words' means, what input to provide, or what output to expect.

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 contains only a generic 'params' object with the description 'Tool parameters as JSON object.' The description adds nothing about what parameters are expected or how to specify word length, so it provides no meaningful guidance beyond the schema's placeholder.

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 'find short words — Other Utilities tool' essentially restates the tool name and adds only a generic category. It doesn't define what qualifies as 'short' or distinguish this from sibling tools like find_long_words.

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 given about when to use this tool versus other text-utility alternatives. The phrase 'Other Utilities tool' does not provide context for selection.

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