validate_configuration

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden. It usefully discloses that the tool queries the live site and does not mutate state ('실제 사이트에 조회', '예약을 생성하지 않습니다'), effectively a read-only dry run. However it omits auth/permission requirements, whether it can fail on misconfiguration, and any side effects — gaps that matter for a validation tool with zero annotation coverage.

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?

Two core sentences are front-loaded with the action and the non-mutation guarantee, with zero waste. The trailing 'Keywords:' line is somewhat redundant with the body text, mildly diluting the otherwise tight structure.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be explained, and a zero-parameter validation tool with a clear no-side-effect statement is largely self-contained. The remaining omission is what failure looks like when the queried site settings do not match local config, which would help an agent interpret results.

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 tool takes no parameters, so per the scoring baseline this is a 4. The description correctly does not pad with parameter talk, though the enumerated settings fields are informational rather than inputs.

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?

States a specific verb and resource in Korean (조회해 확인합니다 = query and verify the Centerfield MCP settings), enumerates exactly what is validated (tenant company name, approval manager, floor list), and explicitly contrasts with siblings via '예약을 생성하지 않습니다' (does not create a reservation). An agent can distinguish this read/validation tool from the register_* siblings without consulting any schema.

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?

'dry run' and '연결 테스트' (connection test) signal the intended context clearly, and the explicit note that no reservation is created implicitly routes write intent to the sibling tools. It stops short of stating a prerequisite relationship (e.g. run this before register_visitor), so it is clear but not fully prescriptive.

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