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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It explains the tool's output (which forms, documents, deadlines) but does not explicitly state that it is read-only, deterministic, or has no side effects. The behavior is self-evident as a generator, but lacks explicit notes about limitations or edge cases.

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 well-structured as a docstring, starting with the primary purpose, followed by a clear 'Args:' section. While it is lengthy, every line adds value by documenting parameters. It is appropriately sized for the tool's complexity, though it could be marginally more concise by grouping similar parameters.

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 (15 parameters) and the presence of an output schema, the description is complete in explaining what the tool does and what input it expects. It does not detail return values, but that is covered by the output schema. It also does not provide examples, but they are not essential for this straightforward checklist generator.

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, but the description extensively documents each parameter with explanatory text (e.g., 'ha_figli_under_21: Ha figli under 21 (coperti da Assegno Unico, non detraibili)'). This fully compensates for the schema's lack of descriptions, providing clear meaning for all 15 boolean inputs and the anno integer.

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 function: 'Genera una checklist personalizzata per la compilazione del 730' (generate a personalized checklist for 730). It further details what the checklist includes (which forms, documents, deadlines), making the purpose specific and distinguishing it from sibling tools like guida_quadro or calcola_* which handle specific aspects.

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?

The description implies usage context ('Basandosi sulla situazione del contribuente') but does not explicitly state when to prefer this tool over alternatives or when not to use it. There is no mention of exclusions or comparisons to sibling tools, so the guidance is only implicit.

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