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

The description mentions 'remote debugging enabled' which hints at a behavioral trait, but it does not disclose what happens if TradingView is already running, permissions required, or the impact of killExisting. No annotations are provided, so the description partially carries the transparency burden. A score of 3 reflects basic transparency with room for improvement.

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 with no unnecessary words. It is front-loaded and efficient.

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 tool is simple with two optional parameters and no output schema. The description is minimally adequate but does not address prerequisites (e.g., TradingView installation), failure behavior, or what the return value indicates. A score of 3 captures acceptable but not thorough completeness.

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 covers 100% of parameters with descriptions, so the baseline is 3. The description adds the context of 'remote debugging' but does not enhance understanding of individual parameters beyond what the schema provides.

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 tool's purpose: 'Launch TradingView Desktop with remote debugging enabled'. It uses a specific verb ('Launch') and resource ('TradingView Desktop'), and the sibling tools handle different tasks (chart state, health check, symbol, timeframe), so it is well-distinguished.

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 alternatives (e.g., when remote debugging is needed, prerequisites, or scenarios where other tools are more appropriate). The description lacks context for decision-making.

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