Search Available Times

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. Only states what the tool does, not how it behaves (e.g., what happens if no times available, whether it considers existing events, output format). Minimal behavioral disclosure beyond the basic purpose.

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?

Single sentence efficiently conveys core purpose. Front-loaded with key action and target. However, could include a brief mention of output or behavior without losing conciseness.

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 5 parameters, 2 required, and no output schema shown (though context indicates it exists), description covers the basic search purpose but lacks details on return format or edge cases. Adequate for a medium-complexity tool but gaps remain.

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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. Description adds no extra parameter meaning beyond schema; it merely restates that it searches for attendees/facilities within time ranges. No value added over schema.

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?

Description uses specific verb 'Search' and identifies resource 'available time slots' for attendees/facilities within time ranges. Clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like 'garoon-get-schedule-events' which retrieves existing events, and 'garoon-create-schedule-event' which creates events. No ambiguity.

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?

Implies usage for checking availability before scheduling, but does not explicitly state when to use or when not to use. No mention of alternatives like 'garoon-get-schedule-events' to see existing events. Lacks direct guidance on prerequisites or context.

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