Get Pokémon Champions meta snapshot

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

With no annotations, the description discloses that the tool returns popular meta data, but it does not mention data source, freshness, or whether limit applies per category. The output schema covers return structure, so the description does not need to explain that, but additional behavioral details are absent.

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, focused sentence with no redundant words. It efficiently lists the key elements returned.

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 description, combined with the output schema and complete parameter schemas, gives sufficient context for an agent to understand the tool's purpose and return. Minor gap: no mention of how limit affects categories or whether data is cached/live.

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 coverage is 100%, with each parameter having a description and default. The tool description adds no extra parameter-level meaning beyond referencing 'current format,' which maps to the format parameter. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 retrieves popular Pokémon, moves, items, abilities, and SP spreads for the current format. The content and verb 'Get' distinguish it from sibling calculation and optimization tools.

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 provides clear context that this is for current format meta data, implying it should be used when snapshot popularity data is needed. It does not explicitly exclude calculation tools, but the nature of the output is unambiguous.

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